Dear Parents and Carers
Christmas@Trinity is well underway and I hope that, so far, everyone has had fun. Christmas Star Time was a great success with all our learners having a choice of what activity they would like to do. There were stars being made, cards designed, dancing, football and sock Snowmen amongst other choices.
Thank you to the many parents and carers who were able to support our Santa Fun Run in Victoria Park. A large number of house pennies were earned!
This week the premiere of our P1 Twinkly Nativity took place in the main hall. The feedback was extremely positive and I was so proud of our youngest learners who sang confidently and with great enthusiasm.
The silent disco is in full flow!
The not quite so festive flu vaccinations went smoothly yesterday with the NHS staff praising everyone.
Our P7s enjoyed a fabulous time riding the waltzers, dodgem cars etc in Princes Street Gardens as part of Edinburgh’s Christmas. Their faces and screaming said it all!
Today sees us join together for Christmas Lunch (thank you to the kitchen staff who, despite being ‘rehoused’ are still able to offer this) and P6 running stalls at the Lodge.
What’s still to come?
Fri Dec 15th : Christmas Music ‘Extravaganza’ at North Leith Parish Church. Please do come along and hear about ‘What Christmas Means to us’.
Mon Dec 18th : P1 and P2 party – we’re ever hopeful a special visitor may make an appearance
P4 to Letham Park Care Home
Tues Dec 19th : P3 – P6 Christmas Activity Day
Thurs Dec 21st : PJs and film day – no need to get dressed just come to school in pyjamas!
Fri Dec 22nd : Christmas Trinity Together Singalong
School closes at 12.00noon
Staffing update
I am delighted to let you know that following a very successful interview Aimi McIntosh has now been appointed as a permanent DHT at Trinity. Very much deserved.
We have welcomed back Claire Campbell from maternity leave. From January Claire Campbell and Felicity Martin (part time DHT) will teach the current P2W class.
We are saying goodbye to Catherine Wilson, currently P2W teacher and to Susan Grant, one of our PSAs. Both have been very much a part of our Trinity team and will be sorely missed. We wish them the very best in the future.
Christmas Food Boxes and Project Pants
Thank you so much for the donations of food items and of pants and socks. We are continuing to collect until Tues Dec 19th so, if you are able, donations are still very welcome.
Sandra Brown, our family support worker and Kelly Tawake, our PSO, are coordinating the food parcels and would really appreciate:
Crisps / Snacks
Christmas items eg selection boxes, biscuits, chocolate Santas etc
Tea / Coffee / Hot Chocolate
Diluting juice
Breakfast cereals / porridge
Tinned fruit
Thank you for your continued support and I look forward to seeing those who can manage at North Leith Church tomorrow morning.
Best wishes
