Karate

Hello we like to do karate and we are going to show you what we do in karate. First we do a warm up we run in a square and when our karate teacher ( Sensei ) calls out 1 we put are left hand on the floor and if Sensei says 2 we put are right hand on the floor and if Sensei says 3 we put both hands on the floor. After that she says line up we go in our order from the most experienced people to the beginners. Then we do some moves like punches and we call a kick all sorts like mawashi geri , Mae Geri and thrust kick. Then we do are kata. Kata is when you know all your skills and do them in order or we do something else. And if you know it really well you will get a new belt it goes to white first the all the way to black. And when you are black belt you could become a teacher to teach another group.

Cricket

Hello we are going to tell you about the cricket on Tuesdays. It is split into girls and boys.

We have one scorer sometimes the girls and boys are mixed into groups and split into different matches. On one half of the field there are two matches going on and the ref (Mrs Smith) goes round each match and tells us if it is a SIX or a FOUR. A SIX is where you whack it and it goes out of the boundaries. A FOUR is where it lands in the boundaries it is still a FOUR if it bounces out of the boundaries. At the end of the day Mrs Smith tells us what we should improve on like using your brain and think carefully about where to hit the ball e.g. you could hit the ball down the bank and you could score more points. Sometimes if you hit it down the bank you are out (out is where you don't get another go).

Trinity Gym Club

I have continued with gym club since last year and I haven't missed even one lesson because it's fun  and a bit educational.The man who is teaching gym is called Ken Beadle. He has won lots of trophies and medals for teaching gym and for how good he is at gymnastics. His dream was to be a gymnastics teacher and now is his chance to become a teacher. The problem is that we do not have as many people as we thought so that is why we are telling you to try and go to gym club. If you are interested in going to gym club it is after school on Thursdays and Fridays at 3.15 to 4.15.

Goodbye Mrs Aldrige!

 We interviewed Mrs Aldrige before she left our school and she said she would miss the school the children and all the teachers. "It's been fun teaching in the school and I've seen lots of teachers, head teachers and pupils come and go. I can't believe that it's my turn now" she said. She also said that it will feel very strange not coming to school in the morning.

One of Mrs Aldriges favourite things is taking the Running Club because it means that she can enjoy running and also have the pleasure of teaching others how to enjoy it to. It's also good to know that she will carry on running as long as she can.

   I'm sure we will all miss her when she's gone.

Basket|ball at Trinity!

Reporters from our Bloggers Club spoke to the Year 6 teacher, Mrs McNaughten about the Basketball Club that started this week. It is after school on Wednesdays for children in Years 4-6. Mrs McNaughten said, " We do the club because it is a good sport and lots of fun. We also do it to encourage children, once we've taught them skills, to use them in games." The team is being instructed by Jonathon Campbell, a coach from the Reading Rockets Basketball team. Lucky them!

Trinity's Football Stars!

John and Louie, Year 5 pupils at Trinity School play for Henley Stars' Under 10s football club and helped their team win the Hicks League Division 2 this year. John, a defender at left back and Louie, right midfield, say the success of their team's undefeated run during the 2008-2009 season was having an excellent defence and some great goal scorers, especially Daniel (not at this school). On one occasion they chalked up a 12-0 victory - their biggest of the season! Both boys were happy that Joel (not at this school) was their best player.

Next year John and Louie move up to the Under 11s when they will have to play 11 a-side!

Well done boys and good luck for next year.

Year 3and 4 Mixed-Football Festival

On the 22nd May some Year 3 and 4 boys and girls took part in a mixed-football competition at Gillott's Secondary School. It was a hot morning with little breeze and the children were excited at the prospect of playing against other schools.

The teams were put into two leagues with the winners of each league playing each other to decide the outright winner. Our Team B played in a league where one team failed to turn up so had to play more matches. Despite some very good play this team scored only one goal and that was an own one, but no names! They played their hearts out and the scores were all very tight with no team scoring more than a single goal in each match, except one where the score was 2-0.

Team A's league was even tighter with three 0-0 draws and two 1-0 wins. With two nil-nil draws and a 1-0 win over Badgemore, a blockbuster of a shot from Alex M (Yr 4) this team failed to miss the final by a single goal in goal difference with Shiplake. Shiplake went on to be winners when they beat Sacred Heart on penalties, following a very close-fought and exciting final.

Trinity A beat St Mary's 1-0, a fantastic long-range shot from Seb B, to claim 3rd place.

Team A: Lewis C, Christian M, Seb B, Beatrice F-W, Emily C, Alex M and Thomas A

Team B: Danny C, Toby F, Charlotte H, Saphira H, Sam W, Henry H and Olivia C.

A very special thank you to the mums who came along to 'manage' Team B and for their superb support and encourgaement.
