Dear Parents and Carers
I hope that you had an enjoyable October week. It has been great to see our Trinity learners back in school this week. There is definitely an Autumnal feel to the weather so please do make sure your child comes to school with an outdoor named jacket. As the saying goes ‘there is no such thing as bad weather only the wrong clothing’. Being outdoors is so beneficial to wellbeing and we seldom have indoor breaktimes at Trinity. Our learners also spend time in the secret garden and, hopefully soon, in our outdoor library during the school week.
Halloween
Our sponsored Halloween disco will take place in school on Friday Oct 27th. Everyone is very welcome to dress up (please avoid anything too scary!). Many thanks to the TPSA who have organised the gofundme link to allow funds to be raised for school. Please see the link below if you would like to sponsor your child to dance!
Playground Tidy
Our rescheduled playground tidy will take place from 9.30am – 12.30pm on Sunday Oct 29th. Here’s hoping the weather is kinder to us this time. All offers of help are much appreciated so please do come along, bringing with you any gardening tools, brushes etc that can be used.
Christmas Cards
You should have received the sample of your child’s Christmas card in school bags today. The closing date for orders will be Mon Nov 13th. All the information required to make an order is attached to the sample card. Many thanks in advance for your support with this. All funds raised go towards supporting out of school visits and additional resources for all our learners.
World Children’s Day – Mon Nov 20th
The theme for this year’s UNICEF World Children’s Day is Investing in the Future. The day provides another opportunity for children to understand their rights and to have their voices heard. We will be holding a peaceful protest at 1.30pm in Victoria Park in support of Climate Change Action. Our plan is to come together as a school with banners and placards and walk round the ‘doughnut’. Our protest will end with us singing What A Wonderful World. Parents and carers are very welcome to join us.
Brew and Blether
Many thanks to those of you who were able to come along on Fri 6th Oct. I was so proud of our House Captains who shared what it has meant for them to be a Trinity Learner. We asked those present for their views on our values and our aims and whether these were still relevant.
