Dear Parents and Carers
A very Happy New Year to you all. I hope that 2024 brings good health and happiness to everyone. It was great to bring Trinity Together in the hall yesterday and to remind ourselves about what is important in our school. Our four values of Respect, Creativity, Perseverance and Kindness remain central to what we want for all our Trinity Learners. We welcomed back Carly Pattinson who has returned from maternity leave.
The term ahead sees our very exciting whole school visit to Shrek the Musical at the Playhouse Theatre (Wed Jan 24th). It never fails to amaze me how quickly things seem to come round – the initial booking was made way back in May 2023. Final arrangements are being put into place and will be shared with you shortly. As previously mentioned the expected time for arrival back at school will be approx 6.00pm.
We are now in the position to ask for parents / carers to accompany the classes as helpers. There will be no cost for this as we receive free places to enable support. If you are available and would like to be considered (we may have more offers than spaces) please complete the form below or email direct to the school office on admin@trinity- pri.edin.sch.uk as a matter of priority.
We are still awaiting payment from some families. The total cost for the ticket is £20 with transport being paid for by our TPSA. Many thanks to them for this. As always we ask that families pay a bit more if they are able, the actual cost or make a contribution depending on their circumstances. Payment being made acts as permission for children to go – without payment of some sort a child will be unable to attend.
Theatre Etiquette or SHREKiquette as I have named it!
I shared with our learners yesterday our expectations regarding behaviour in the theatre. Please ask your child what this means. Hopefully they will be able to remember some, or all, of the following – no talking, no eating, no phones and no clapping at the wrong time!
Our first House Coffee Morning of the year will take place on Friday 19th January with Craighall leading the way. Craighall parents and carers are invited to join their child in the hall at 9.00am as they share aspects of their learning.
Building update
We are still awaiting confirmation of a start date for the roof replacement. Preliminary works are due to start today with the pruning of some playground trees and the installation of an alternative ramp in the shelter area. It is hoped that full works will commence by the end of January to ensure completion for August 2024.
Thank you for your continued support
Best wishes
