Trinity News: 16th March

Dear Parents and Carers

I hope you had an enjoyable weekend.  We had a great turnout at parents’ / carers’ evening and afternoon last week and I hope you found the opportunity to meet with your child’s class teacher  helpful.  Our house captains were very professional in their running  of the book fair – thank you to them and to those of you who purchased a book.

Campfire Story with Hot Chocolate

Our World Book day mug decoration, followed by hot chocolate round the camp fire was a great success.   Despite the weather 20 classes were able to enjoy being outdoors with a time for P1S rescheduled for this week.

If you are able to make a donation of £1.50 to cover the cost of the mug please do so through ParentPay.   Thank you.

P7 World of Work event 

Many thanks to those parents and carers who gave of their time and provided our P7 learners with the opportunity to chat about different jobs and the skills needed.   There was a great atmosphere in the hall with several comments made about how articulate, confident and polite our P7 learners were.    All very necessary skills! 

Red Nose Day : Friday 20th March

In true Trinity fashion Red Nose Day will be ‘handed over’ to learners to organise and run.   P3 have already sold out the first batch of red noses with more available this week.  We have asked that learners keep their nose in the box and take it home to avoid loss, damage and upset.

On the day learners are welcome to dress up, dress funny or dress down!

Here is some information to help those planning on running their own event:

  • You need to bring all your own resources (you can get a table from school)
  • Have a sign showing cost / what to do
  • Charge 20p, 50p or £1
  • Bring a float (this is some money to start you off with which has to be paid back.)
  • Bring prizes if you need them
  • If you need help with any of the above, including the float, you must speak with your teacher or Mrs Scott by the end of Tuesday  March 17th.   Don’t leave it to the last minute!

Park Run

Mrs Berthinussen has signed Trinity up for Park Run.  The first one will take place at 9.30am in Pilrig Park.   We have set a target of 100  park runners by the end of June so we’re hoping lots of Trinity learners will turn up and get us off to a good start

Staffing

A warm welcome to Becci Milan who has joined our PSA team and who is currently supporting in P7.

Happy Eid

At Trinity Together on Friday we shared learning about Ramadan and Eid.  Very well done to Rakan, Adam and Amira who took the microphone and spoke about what Eid means to their families.   A very Happy Eid to all our Trinity families who will be celebrating this week.

Thank you for your continued support
