Dear Parents and Carers
The final day of the term has arrived and there is a definite feeling of excitement across school – not just from the children I have to add! Trinity Together this morning will see us gather in the hall to join in some Christmas songs and dances. It’s always great fun and so lovely to see our whole school smiling and laughing together.
Please see below for a few bits of information:
House Coffee Mornings and Learning Chats
Our annual house coffee mornings will take place next term. This is an opportunity to join us for a coffee and chat with your child/children about what they have been learning. ‘Official’ invites will be coming your way but dates are as follows:
9.00am Fri Jan 19th – Craighall
9.00am Fri Jan 26th – Royston
9.00am Fri Feb 2nd – Melville
9.00am Fri Feb 9th – Argyll (please note this is a change of date from Fri Jan 12th)
SHREK – Wed Jan 24th 2024
Our whole school theatre visit is fast approaching and we are all very much looking forward to it. We will be leaving school at approx 1.00pm with the show starting at 2.30pm. Given it lasts 2hrs 30mins this means that the return to school time on the day will be approx 6.00pm. Detailed information will follow in January.
Attendance
Thank you so much for your support in ensuring the vast majority of Trinity learners are in school every day when they are fit and well enough. Our attendance figures have increased and we are now in the green zone! Our next challenge is to make sure everyone arrives on time. School starts for P3 – P7 at 8.45am and at 9.00am for P1 and P2. Every minute late impacts on learning and teaching and on office staff.
Building works
It is looking likely that works to replace the roof in areas of our school will commence in mid January. These works will have some implications for the playground spaces. Once I have final information I will be in a better position to share with staff, our learners and with parents and carers.
P2 and P6 Enterprising ‘Elves’
Very well done to both P6 and P2 learners for their recent enterprising projects. Thank you to those who were able to attend and support.
Mobile phones
Many thanks to our Parent Council for their survey regarding the use of mobile phones. Please note that whilst we do not ban mobile phones being brought to school they are not used at all in class, must be switched off and must remain in school bags throughout the school day including break and lunchtimes. The bringing of a phone for before and after school use is a parent / carer decision and school cannot take responsibility for any phones that are lost or broken. We are looking to arrange an event for parents and carers to discuss the safe and responsible use of IT.
Bikes / Scooters
Coming to school by foot, cycling or by scooter is actively encouraged. For the safety of everyone we do ask however that children and adults do not ride bikes or scooters in the school playground. Thank you
Project Pants and Christmas Food Hampers
A huge thank you to everyone who supported our two community projects. Over 300 pairs of pants and socks were collected by our December birthday elves and Ms Tawake and Ms Brown delivered 20 Christmas Hampers to Trinity families. Our value of kindness shone through!
I hope that everyone in the Trinity community enjoys the festive season. Please take time to switch off for a bit and enjoy the simple thing of being with family (along with the occasional bit of chocolate!)
I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and look forward to a very happy, successful and healthy 2024 for us all.
With very best wishes
Jacqueline Scott
PLEASE NOTE school starts again on Tues Jan 9th 2024
