Harvest Festival

On Friday the 1st ,the harvest festival took place at Holy Trinity church. The Foundation were really cute singing Big Red Combine Harvester! The year 5's did a presentation about their Fairtrade project. The upper juniors sang two songs, Harvest Samba and Living Learning. There was heaps of food which people had donated. Emily C Said "I enjoyed the adverts that the year 5's did especially Abi, Oscar, Ben and Tom's advert but I did enjoy Mae's as well." The harvest festival was great and hopefully everyone enjoyed it!

Olympic Athlete Gold Medalist Visits Trinity!

On Friday 26th of June our Upper Juniors put their fitness to the test with the help of Olympic Gold Medalist Darren Campbell (MBE).  Whilst learning all about the importance of exercise and having fun they also raised lots of money for the school. The children had to do press-ups, star-jumps, leg-drives and sit-ups, each within 30 seconds. Some of it was quite tough.

 

Darren gave an inspirational talk about how he had succeeded at his sport, 100m and 200m race. Most of all he told the children to follow their dream and not give up.

 

Darren came to our school in a moon-boot. If you do not know what that is it a special cast that protects your foot if you have broken or seriously injured it. Darren injured his foot playing football!

Cake Sales

 Every Friday there is a great cake sale at school which runs in turn by each class. Its organised by FOTS (Friends of Trinity School). Cakes are 25p each and every week it raises about £70 to £100. This money goes towards the improvement of the school such as the new play equipment. The cake sales are very popular with the children and it is always a scrum to get the best ones! Thank you to all those who help each week to run the sale and make it Yummy!

A Mile of Coins

On Saturday April 4th, some students from Trinity School went to the town square to help lay down a mile of coins in aid of Headway, a brain injury charity. Over £900 was raised at the event and it was a great thing to do with lots of other schools. Thank you to all the people who donated 'pennies' towards it. Some people contributed foreign coins and it was interesting to see them and guess were they came from!

Pyjama Day for Red Nose Day

So far Comic Relief has raised £59, 187,065 and a little bit of that money is what Trinity children raised for Comic Relief (Red NoseDay ) by all the children dressing up in their PJ's. Seeing teachers in there PJ's what a laugh, Mr Grant was wearing salmon pink Calvin Klein PJ's.Also Mrs Smith's class watched the Mount Kilimanjaro hike in Kenya, starring Gary Barlow ( the lead singer in Take That and he was the one who  organized it ). Altogether the whole school raised roughly £325! It was an amazing day for everyone and we all thoroughly enjoyed it.

Trinity Swimarathon

At the LA Fitness pool on the 7th March the Swimarathon started as soon as the lifegaurd blew his whistle. And they were off! Both pupils and staff, swam to their heart's content with a great splash and speed. Most did front crawl, while the others chose, getting very tired towards the end, to do back stroke or breaststroke. The Staff Fish as the teachers team came first out of the whole school with a whopping great 141 lengths.We believe Miss Simmonds has gills and flippers because, well she put the 100 in 141! However the best performance of the day had to be the Year 6 girls team, Slammin Starfish, with a fantatstic 137 lengths- PHEW!

A special thanks to Mrs Allum for all the hard work and time she gave to organising this sponsored event (She is a STAR!).

The money raised will go to local charities.
