It's all about Tom!

Tom has many facets to his character. Many of the photos demonstrate the variety of characteristics he has i.e. determination, passion, stubbornness and quirky - in fact it's mostly quirky.
For his birthday he wanted to visit Kelly Tarltons, no presents just this.
Tom had twelve arm wrestles with Oli till he gave up and let him win!

Being Brave, new iPad and Kung Fu returns!

Tom is taking his karate very seriously and is loving wearing the outfit. He is brilliant at it, so focused.
We all loved Brave, more story than laughs.
The new iPad has allowed them to use the old iPad more often and there is a great times tables game that has helped them considerably although there is a long way to go yet!
