Year 5 visited Google’s new offices in King’s Cross on Friday. This is part of our drive to open pupils’ eyes to possible future careers. Visiting professionals and their workplaces also helps pupils to understand the relevance of what they are taught in school.
At Holy Trinity, we believe that all pupils have the right to reach their potential, so we have been working hard with NHS staff and the school nursing team to ensure that we are doing all we can to support pupils with asthma. Our efforts have earned us Asthma Friendly School status. Thank you to Ms Sparks who has spearheaded the project.
Year 3 learn about the Stone Age as part of the history curriculum. It can be hard for pupils to grasp what life was like so far back in history, particularly when very little survives, so the workshop at Gunnersbury Park Museum was a great way to help the pupils’ understanding. They were able to handle stone age tools, practise their hunting skills and have a go at building a shelter using the materials that were available in the Stone Age. What a great way to bring history to life!
Our year 4 class were lucky enough to take part in a cookery lesson at Waitrose’s kitchens near King’s Cross. They worked together to make healthy dishes that they shared at the end.
We all know the importance of breaking bread with those we love, so why not get your children involved in cooking at home.
Top tip: My nan used to challenge me to peel a spud in one go and, of course, I peeled tonnes of them before I realised that she was just saving herself a big job!
Dear parents/carers,
Year 3 and Year 4 worked with The Place earlier in the year to create and perform dances based on curricular topics. The link below will direct you to the website page including links to the performance videos.
We believe that all pupils deserve access to high quality arts provision. Our partnership with The Place brings pupils into contact with choreographers, professional dancers and students at London Contemporary Dance, who really help to raise pupils aspirations. If your child isn’t in Year 3 or 4 yet, check out the videos anyway, so you can see what is in store for your child. Enjoy!
Year 5 had a great time getting out into the Surrey countryside during their overnight stay at The Mill. They showed amazing energy during their four hour hike up Leith Hill and even a few tumbles in the mud didn’t dampen their spirits! The pupils enjoyed marshmallows by a camp fire, as well as a geocaching competition and a low ropes course, designed to encourage teamwork. Well done, Year 5!
Thank you to all the staff and volunteers at The Mill who took such good care of us.
Thank you to the pupils who wrote some fantastic prayers for the Easter Service at Lighthouse London. They show what a thoughtful and compassionate pupils we are blesed with at our school.
We wish you peace and time for reflection over the Easter Holiday and look forward to seeing you in the summer term.
Jemima, our Children’s Pastor, will be happy to welcome you at these child-friendly Easter services. There is a range of fun activities on offer to keep the kids happy.
Dear parents/carers,
The summer term is very busy with statutory assessments taking place throughout the term. It is imperative that all pupils are in school every day, so that they are fully prepared and ready to sit their assessments.
As a small school we have limited space to accommodate groups of pupils sitting exams and a limited number of staff the support them. Timetables are planned with military precision to ensure that we can meet the needs of as many of our pupils as possible during this time, whilst continuing to run the rest of the school as usual. It is therefore very difficult for us to arrange re-sits if pupils are not in on the day of their exams.
KS1 SATS (Year 2) – 1st of May to 24th May
KS2 SATS (Year 6) – Monday 13th May – Thursday 16th May
Multiplication Tables Check (Year 4) – Tuesday 4th June – Friday 14th June
Phonics Screening Monday (Year 1) – 10th June – Friday 14th June
