With Bank Holiday on the horizon, we are hoping that you will all be able to have an additional family day to enjoy being together and enjoying time outside. 

This week has been a busy week for everyone here at TMS! We have had a really informative visit from PC Andy Filkins talking to Years 5 and 6 about being safe online, in the rising incidents of online safeguarding difficulties in younger children. Year 5 have also been involved in a 2 days Leadership Programme, raising the profile of a healthy lifestyle and the impact that leadership has on self confidence, self awareness and mental health. This is a programme which we are hoping to role out as soon as the covid restrictions are relaxed. Samuel Pepys has had a ‘Zoom’ with Year 2, and Year 3 are busy investigating the Rainforest! Mr Hick and Mr Lara have also started their work investigating how maths is taught across the school – this is such an exciting piece of work, seeing different children learn and seeing the progression across the school. 

We have had a phonics workshop with Year 1, led by Mrs Murt and Miss Grubb as well as our first Welcome meeting with our new EYFS families. Mr Lara and Miss Wallis will be leading a maths  family workshop on Thursday evening for all KS1 parents/carers – the Zoom link is on the Website diary dates!

We hope that you all have a rested weekend and we can’t wait to see you on Tuesday!
