    Walk to School Week – 19th–23rd May Next week is Walk to School Week, supported by Staffordshire County Council! We're encouraging all families to take part in this great campaign to help improve air quality and get active together. We've attached a leaflet with more details for you to explore. Children who walk at least 90% of the week will receive a special certificate and sticker to celebrate their effort! If you need to drive, why not Park and Stride? Please aim to park at least as far away as Stone Bank Road or an equivalent distance to help reduce congestion and pollution around school. We'd also love to see your Walk to School moments! Share your photos on social media and tag: @AirAwareStaffs and @StaffordshireCountyCouncil Don't forget to use the hashtag #INTOWalkingStaffs Let's get walking!

    And just like that the SATs are over. A huge well done to all of our wonderful children who have turned up on time every day and given their all. We are all exceptionally proud of each and everyone of them. A huge thank you to all of our families who have supported them at home and ensured the children arrive on time, calm and ready to give 100%. Also a great big thank you to all of our children who have coped very well with the changes to this week - having to be exceptionally quiet and having slightly delayed breaktimes. Everyone has worked together to ensure we support each other as one big St Thomas' family. A big thank you also has to go to the whole staff and Governor team who have supported year 6, from the well wishes, to the wonderful breakfast and the hours and hours of dedication and support that has gone on behind the scenes. Year 6 (and staff) have all enjoyed an ice cream treat - even though I may have fooled year 6 (and panicked staff) when I turned up with the SATS box after break to tell them another paper had been delivered. They were very concerned until they discovered the box was full of ice cream not more papers!

    This week is Mental Health Awareness Week and the theme is 'community' which, as a CofE and a UNICEF Rights Respecting School is right up our street! Being part of a safe, positive community is vital for our mental health and wellbeing. We thrive when we have strong connections with other people and supportive communities that remind us, we are not alone. Communities can provide a sense of belonging, safety, support in hard times, and give us a sense purpose Throughout the week will be encouraging the children to talk about ways that they are already involved and reflecting on new ways to get involved We have as much a focus on personal development as we do on academic development at St Thomas and, through our curriculum lessons and wider curriculum opportunities, we encourage children to nurture their wellbeing, get involved and make a difference #mentalhealthawareness

    We had lots of fun in maths club. We have been using counters to make numbers bonds to 5 and 10, adding and subtracting numbers and using playing cards to create sums. Some of year 2 even played a game where they had to make 21 with the playing cards and did a great job of figuring out how many more they needed to get to 21 or how much they were over by.
