Dear Parents and Carers
I hope your week is going well. It was great to see those of you who were able to attend, at our reading events yesterday. To celebrate Scottish Book Week Trinity Together tomorrow will see all learners reading with each other and making bookmarks. We have also launched a reading loyalty card with six books being read earning house pennies. Please do encourage your child to read whether it be comics, factual books, picture books, recipes, stories etc. All forms of reading are equally important.
Sportshall Athletics
Well done to a group of our P7 athletes who took second place in the Sportshall Athletics event on Monday. They are now waiting to find out if their scores have earned them a place in the final. (A great week for Scottish sport overall!)
Winter Windows
We are delighted that two of our Trinity learners, Frances and Esme from P7, are winners in the Winter Windows competition run by the City of Edinburgh. Their winning designs will be displayed along the top path of Princes Street gardens so please do look out for them.
Flu vaccination
This week saw flu vaccinations happening in school with over 500 of our learners receiving a ‘scoosh’ to protect them against flu in the coming months.
Christmas clothing donations
We operate a Christmas clothing donations table so please do send in any Christmas items that your child no longer wears to allow them to be recycled.
