Parents are very welcome to attend our Easter Service at Lighthouse London on Wednesday. The service starts at 14.30.
Year 5 finished their hectic ‘touring schedule’ with a choir performance at Regent Hall on Oxford Street for Age UK. They did a great job, bringing joy to the elderly audience. Well done, Year 5! We are very proud of you.
At Holy Trinity we want all of our pupils to enjoy the full spectrum of opportunities available in London, so we pack our curriculum full of trips, workshops, collaborations and projects. Year 2 have visited The Tower of London and Years 3 & 4 have started their long-term dance collaboration with The Place. Today pupils have been marking Remembrance with a two minute silence, so they understand the preciousness of life and why we want them to live it in its fullness.
We hope that you have all had a great half-term with your children. Please find below dates for the major events happening this half-term.

Take One Picture Exhibition
This year work by pupils at Holy Trinity will feature in The National Gallery’s Take One Picture Exhibition. This is the third time that our pupils have featured in this prestigious exhibition. This time work that our current Year 1 pupils completed when they were in reception chosen by the team at The National Gallery.
If you can’t make your way to The National Gallery, you can view the exhibition on line by clicking the link below. However, I would recommend a visit to The National Gallery to every parent this summer – it’s free!
Summer activities at the O2 Centre
Our friends at the O2 Centre also have some free activities for children over the summer – why not check them out?
Tilly in Year 3 has been raising money for the British Heart Foundation. So far she has raised almost £100.00! Great work Tilly!
Tilly will have a little stall in the playground this afternoon selling a range of hand-made keyrings, the proceeds of which go to The British Heart Foundation. You can purchase a key ring with a minimum donation of £2.00 (though I think they are worth more). I have already purchased 3!
Parents can use the QR code and their Smart Phone to donate via Just Giving or pay cash and we will make sure it gets to the right place.
Thank you for support Tilly and The British Heart Foundation.
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!
Our partners at the O2 Centre have some exciting events lined up for you over the Easter period. Follow the links to find out more:
