Newsletter 33 - 20th May 2022
Dear Parents and Carers,
This has been another busy week in school!
Year 5 Residential
Year 5 enjoyed a 3 day residential to Leeson House in Dorset this week. I’d like to extend my thanks to the staff that accompanied them and enabled such a valuable experience to go ahead: Miss Harding, Mrs Hunter, Miss Lazar and Mrs Fargher. Thank you for taking time away from your own families to make the trip possible.
No Nuts Please
Thank you to parents for your donations of cakes for our Bake sale last week – it is always a popular sale! Please remember that no nut products can be on or in the cakes.
Class Photos
The school photographer will be coming to school on Monday morning to take whole class photos. If your child has PE on Mondays, please send them into school in the school uniform with their PE kit to change into.
Break the Rules Day
PTA and School Council have arranged Break the Rules day next Friday 27th May. We raised over £1000 last year for this event so we’re hoping the children will want to take part and break rules again this year! Look out for the form coming home for children to choose which rules they’d like to break. The children need to hand the forms and any monies to their class teacher on Break the Rules day.
Have a lovely weekend,
Mrs Griffith

Well done to all of our Stars this week!

Class 1 – Leo for his excellent technique in throwing a javelin and sharing his technique with his peers! Great team work.

Class 3 – Bryony for helping a friend in need by writing for her when her wrist was in a splint.
Class 4 – Harry for showing great perseverance with his handwriting.
Class 5 – The whole class for a fantastic few days away, getting involved in all activities and showing great resilience and perseverance as well as supporting one another.

Year 5 Residential Trip to Leeson House
We'll have a proper write up for you next week, but in the meantime we wanted to share this lovely photo with you!
Year 5 Ravenous Readers
Here are this week's Ravenous Readers. Amelia has now completed the reading list – congratulations! Her favourite book was The Story of Tracy Beaker.
Badminton Success!
On Sunday I partook in a badminton tournament that marked the jubilee of the club (Swifts) that I go to. I played in the under 12 girls' section and played people from different badminton clubs as well as my own. Amid these people were really experienced players that had been playing for more that 4 years; it was a hard one. Luckily, my doubles partner and I put up a good fight and managed to secure second place! This is also known as Plate Winner. I am very proud of myself because we beat people I didn't expect to and all my shots were great! I hope I can do just as well in the next tournament.

School Term Dates
Please see here for term dates:
Absence
Although tempting as we have not been able to travel freely for so long, please do not book holidays or family days during term time. Missing even one or two days learning can be detrimental to your child's learning. Holiday absences will show up as persistent absence which is checked by Ofsted when they visit and monitored closely each half term by the Education Welfare Officer at RBWM. Thank you.
Holy Trinity CE Primary School take safeguarding very seriously. If you have a concern, please do not hesitate to report to our designated staff;
Mrs J. Griffith, Mrs C Barnes, Miss S. Harding, Mrs F Fargher
Please do not send your child to school if they're unwell or with a high temperature controlled by paracetamol or ibuprofen. Don't forget that your child must not return to school until at least 48 hours after the last episode of any gastric upset (vomiting or diarrhoea).
