Active and Healthy

The week at Trinity certainly started with a hop, skip and a jump for some of our classes as they enjoyed skipping workshops.  Over the course of the week all Trinity learners will have the chance to learn skipping skills whilst having great fun.  If your child has caught the skipping ‘bug’, skipping ropes are available to purchase.  Please pay through Parentpay or by handing cash (£5) into the school office.  School will also be purchasing some ropes for use in the playground.  

Snacks

We regularly talk with our learners about healthy eating and ask for parents and carer support in not sending in sweets, chocolate, large bags of crisps etc for snack time.  Last year P3 learners moved us from Fruity Friday to Wellbeing Wednesday with a class each week chosen to have the Wellbeing Wednesday bowl delivered to their class.  The bowl is made up of a range of healthy snacks to  encourage good choices.   No fizzy drinks are allowed in school.

Our Playground                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Our playground provides another area in which our learners learn.  PSAs play an essential role in

• supporting positive play
• allowing learners to take calculated risks, within a safe environment
• helping them to learn essential skills – integrity, initiative, communication, collaboration, leading and feeling.

It is a busy environment and our learners are regularly reminded and expected to Be Kind and to Show Respect.  Many of our Trinity Learners are already highly skilled in these two areas but, as with all learning, some require support!

Our learners are able to move freely around the different areas of the playground, exploring and playing across stages.    Our simple rule of ‘Don’t Climb a Tree until you’re Primary Three’ is known and understood by learners.  The painted lines provide a limit to how high learners can go.  Our library phone box – lead by Library Leaders – support learners to choose and read books over breaktimes.  Our Gardening group – lead by Katie Lamb – look after the plants.   Ball games are limited to the ‘cage’ and Erin Smith, one of our PSAs, organises a mini football league.  When weather permits use is made of the back grass area.  This year we are looking to introduce our ‘Ready to Listen’ seats in the glass entrance space.  These seats lead by Ready to Listen leaders will provide a drop in space for those who would like a chat.

A survey carried out last term showed that 97% enjoyed being outside in the playground most or all of the time  – a very positive response!  We are in the process of actioning suggestions to make improvements eg a quiet area, more playground toys, drawing space etc.

Reminder again that bikes and scooters must be pushed across the playground for the safety of everyone.

Attendance – every School Day Counts

We cannot highlight the impact that attendance has on attainment.  We regularly have a number of requests for school holiday in term time.  These holidays are recorded as unauthorised unless under exceptional circumstances.

While we understand that there are times when children do need to be absent from school, your support in ensuring your child attends regularly and on time helps us to make the most of the opportunities on offer and continue to progress and learn.

Meet the Teacher : Thursday Aug 28^th from 5.45pm to 6.45pm

Please do come along on Thursday evening to see your child’s learning environment and to meet their teacher.  This is an informal opportunity to pop in and introduce yourselves and to hear about some of what will be happening in the year ahead.  

Thank you for all your support .  As we prepare for the visit from the inspection team I am reminded of how dedicated our staff team are, how supportive our parent and carer body is and, most importantly, how proud I am of our Trinity Learners.  They are an absolute credit to yourselves and to us.  A real team effort!

Perseverance          Respect          Creativity          Kindness

I aim to respond to your email ASAP,  but certainly within 5 working days (complaints) and 10 working days (enquiries) in line with CEC policy.

Dear Parents and Carers

I hope you had a good weekend and the start to this week has gone well.

Please find below the first calendar of Trinity Primary school events for the year ahead.  Paper copies will also be available at our Meet the Teacher evening.   As I am sure you will understand it is sometime necessary to change dates and we will update across the year.

Wellbeing Wednesday

Last year our P3 learners moved Fruity Friday to become Wellbeing Wednesday!  We encourage and ask for your support in ensuring healthy snacks.   

Well-being Wednesday

Is it working?  By Jessica, Grace, Joshua, Archie, Maya, Blake and Kayden formerly P3G

We have found that each week the results of our survey show that the same classes keep winning.

This is great for them however we want to encourage other people who are not eating fruit etc to eat healthier.

So, we have created a random spinning wheel with all the classes at Trinity on it.  The year group in charge of Rainbow school would use the link to spin the wheel each week.

They would then announce the winner at Trinity Together who would get the bowl of healthy snacks delivered to them to try

When every class has had a turn, it would start again.

Skipping workshop

Next week we are looking forward to all of our learners being involved in skipping workshops.  Such input at Trinity several years ago proved to be extremely popular and great fun.   We are very grateful to a donation made to school which means there will be no charge to parents and carers for the workshops. Please see below for further information.    

Information from Skipping Workshops Ltd                                                                                                                                      The team coach will work with groups of children throughout the day, introducing a variety of skipping skills, catering for all children throughout all classes.                                                                                                        Ropes will be provided for the workshops but if you wish to purchase some for your child they can be bought for £5.00 each. Please order through Parentpay or pay cash at the school office.                                    For parents who are interested in exercising with their children, or who simply want some useful exercise themselves, special adult ropes are available at a cost of £6.00 each.                                                                            The ropes are made to a high standard, are light and easy to use and allow children and adults to progress rapidly with their new skills. 

Phones and other devices

We would prefer that phones and other devices, including smart watches, are not brought / worn to school.  However we are aware of the fact that many parents and carers wish their child to have access to such devices for safety before and after school hours.   Whilst in school all phones, smart watches etc must be switched off and, in the case of phones, kept in school bags.  Please note that school cannot take responsibility for the safe keeping of such items.   We regularly talk with our learners about the safe and responsible use of social media, the internet etc and ask that parents and carers also do this.  Information about internet safety can be found on our school website.

Bikes and Scooters

Cycling, scootering and walking to school are very much encouraged.  Our simple rule, to keep everyone safe, is that bikes and scooters are pushed when in the playground.  Electric scooters are not allowed.  Please do make sure your child has a lock to secure their bike or scooter to the bike racks.

Thank you to those of you who have taken time to respond to the survey for our HMiE visit.  The survey is open until 22^nd Aug if you still wish to complete it. 

Perseverance          Respect          Creativity          Kindness

Dear Parents and Carers

What a fabulous day we had yesterday at Aberdour.  The weather ended up being perfect and I thoroughly enjoyed watching our Trinity learners dig holes, paddle in the sea, find crabs and have a great time together   The Trinity community accounted for over 600 bodies on the beach and, I am really pleased to say, left no mess behind.   Thank you so much to all the parents and carers who came along to help.

Trinity is on a roll!

I am so proud of what Trinity has achieved over the past few weeks.

• Rights Respecting Schools Gold Award
• Digital Schools Award
• Winners at a STEM event at Heriot Watt University : STEMovators
• Winners of two prizes from a Poppy Scotland art competition
• Highly commended feedback from Dyslexia Scotland and MSPs following a presentation at the Scottish Parliament
• Winners of a Minecraft competition at the National Museum of Scotland

All of these show the range of skills and talents our learners have and are testament to all of their hard work (and that of the staff).     A HUGE well done to everyone.

End of term celebration

If you are able please do come along to Bangholm on Wed June 25^th to share our end of term celebration – athletics medals, friendship and community awards, P7 yearbooks, our new house captains and the winning house!  We hope to start about 9.20am and finish by 10.30am.

P7 parents and carers are invited back to school afterwards for refreshments.

Trinity’s Got Talent

Our House Captains have done a great job of auditioning and planning for Trinity’s Got Talent.  Finalists have been notified and their parents and carers are very welcome to join us on Thursday June 26th.  This is always a great way to end the school year.

School year 2025 – 2026

Classes have now been rearranged and nearly all learners have had the chance to meet with their new class and teacher.  We are hoping to be able to share specific classes for our new P2s by the end of this week.  Thank you for your understanding with this.   As always happens at this time of year we will be saying goodbye to some Trinity staff who will be moving on.   We wish Penny Brown every success in Dubai and look forward to her returning to Trinity after teaching there and wish  Jasmine Whelan, Claire Birnie and Marika Komori all the very best in their careers.  

MADD about Films

Our return to school in August will see another Music Art Drama Dance topic.  This year we are going to be MADD about Films through the following contexts :

P1 Toy Story

P2 Jungle Book

P3 Dr Dolittle – is anyone a vet / animal nurse and willing to come in and share their work with P3?

P4 Mary Poppins / Oliver

P5 Making of Minecraft

P6 Disney V Dreamworks

P7 Behind the Mouse (Disney)

If you have any skills, expertise, knowledge around any of this please do get in touch.

Thank you for your ongoing support.

Best wishes

Jacqueline Scott

Dear Parents and Carers

I hope that our Trinity Learners enjoyed ‘Going Down Under’ for Sports Day on  Friday.  The sun certainly shone for us and I would say P7 were grateful for the addition of the soakers at the house relay!   Our competitive Athletics Festival for P5 – P7 will take place on Wed 11^th Jun.

Trinity’s Got Talent – the excitement mounts!

Our House Captains will be leading the auditions on the following dates.   All contestants are asked to supply their own music, instruments, costumes etc as required.       Finalists will be shared after all the auditions have taken place.    If anyone misses their audition due to absence the captains will try their hardest to rearrange.

Wed 21st May : P4

Fri 23rd May : P3

Thurs 29^th May : P6

Tues 3^rd June : P5 and P7

Wed 4^th June : P1 and P2

Please join us for a cuppa and hear how we support our learners with dyslexia, some of whom will be there to share the strategies they use.   The event is open to all parents and carers but may be most appropriate for P4 upwards.

Communication

We do appreciate that there can often be several items of communication, reminders etc.   School life is busy.   Feedback from our recent survey ranged from ‘too much’ to ‘not enough – I don’t know what’s happening’.

We will be looking at how we can streamline how and what we share whilst still endeavouring to make sure parents and carers are informed.  Please bear with us if you receive a duplicate – our approach is better to receive info more than once than not at all.

Dates for the term ahead.

Dear Parents and Carers

The final term of the school year is upon us (yet again).  How time seems to fly!  We are already in the process of organising staffing and classes for August.   As previously stated all classes will be rearranged, using a range of criteria,  with learners meeting their new teacher and class on Tues 17^th June.  

The term ahead is busy so please do take a minute to check diary dates below. 

P7 (supported by P6) present ‘SHOUT!’

This year our P7 show will take place at The Pitt on West Shore Road, along from Granton Square, at 7.00pm on Thurs 8^th May.   The show is always a highlight of the school year and a great opportunity for all our P7s to take to the stage.   P6 are also involved as they provide the front of house support and choir on the evening.  They are very much needed and we hope that all P6s will come along.    With a larger venue than usual (we usually use Trinity Academy’s main hall) we are able to open up ticket sales to the whole school.   If you would like to buy tickets and enjoy what promises to be a great evening of song and dance please do so on parentpay. The cost of the ticket (£7) goes towards the hire of the venue, lighting, sound, refreshments etc.  Unfortunately, this year, we won’t be able to show the rest of the school the dress rehearsal. 

How are we doing?

Apologies for the error with the form sent out at the end of last term.  Please do try again.

The role of schools has evolved over the years.  Whilst the importance of literacy and numeracy cannot ever be underestimated we also strive to, amongst other things,  develop confidence, emotional wellbeing, respect, healthy lifestyles whilst providing a range of learning opportunities suited to a wide range of differing learner needs.  It’s a busy job and getting it right for everyone can come with its challenges.     

I do appreciate that many of us can feel a bit ‘surveyed out’ nowadays but feedback from our school community helps us to shape what we do so please take a few minutes to complete the survey below.

https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=af6sSGo3tUKfacnke7-5xOIkKPXH5aRMkxa6wP8C2ZxUOFlDTEo4Sk1BUFRaOFdQQVpYS0dDMzJLWS4u

Preloved School Uniform

Preloved school uniform items will be available tomorrow (Friday 25th) from 11.45am in the front  playground.  Please do take what you can use – cash donations, if possible, towards school funds are appreciated.

TPSA May Fair – Sat May 10^th 11.00am – 1.00pm

The TPSA school fair takes place on Sat 10^th May.   This fair is organised and run by a small group of parent and carer helpers who do an amazing job raising funds for our school.   Please do offer to help if you can, even for a short period of time, and do please come along on the day.

Fri 2^nd May : Dress Down and Bring a Filled Jar.  

Now a very established tradition at Trinity.  Fill a jar with items like small toys, hair clips, sweets etc and ‘earn’ the right to dress down on Fri 2nd.  The jars are always really popular and will be sold at the fair.  We never have enough!

Thank you for your support and I look forward to a successful term ahead.

Best wishes

Jacqueline Scott MBE | Head Teacher | Trinity Primary School

Dear Parents and Carers

I hope you are all well and enjoying the Spring weather.

The fantastic total of £2230 was raised on Friday at our Red Nose Day event.   A huge thank you to everyone involved. The enthusiasm, teamwork, creativity and kindness of our Trinity learners shone through and it was such a fun morning.   Watching the choir and cheerleading team start us all off made me feel very proud, yet again,  of our school community.  

Outdoor library

It is great to see learners choosing books over breaktimes and sitting together and reading.   We have lots of novels and longer books but would love to have comics and factual books to add –  donations are most welcome. 

Pupil Equity Funding

Pupil Equity Funding is provided to all schools to help support closing the poverty related attainment gap.  Schools are able to use the money to target interventions that may otherwise not be able to happen. At Trinity our PEF is used in the following ways : 

Family Support Worker – Sandra Brown (Citadel) works at Trinity on a Wednesday and meets with parents and carers to support parenting, financial assistance etc 

Pupil Support Officer – Kelly Tawake works full time and supports several of our learners enabling them to achieve in school 

Nurture teacher – Laura Nisbet provides two days of additional support for learning with a focus on improving attainment for those affected by poverty 

Play therapist – one day a week to support some of our care experienced learners

Performance at Trinity

Having the opportunity to ‘take to the stage’ and perform, whether it be speaking, dancing, singing,  is an excellent way of building confidence and one that we actively promote at Trinity.   Our P7 show is the culmination of previous opportunities across the years and involves all our P7s (85) dancing and singing and each having lines to say, the show is written by ourselves so there is a part for everyone. P6 learners take responsibility for props, provide back stage support and the choir on the evening.   In previous years we have used the main hall at Trinity Academy but with the current building works this year we are very excited to be moving to a new venue – The Pitt on West Shore Road.  The show will take place on Thursday May 8th.  

Piper needed

As is the tradition our P7s are always piped out of school on the last day of term.  Our previous members of staff who were able to pipe have now moved on from Trinity and we are looking for someone to fill their shoes.   If you know of anyone who could join us from 2.30pm on Thursday June 26^th please do let me know.  Many thanks in advance.
