Well done to all the Trinity pupils who took part in the various competitions run by Henley Youth Festival.  Our after school club, Start Art, entered the 'Collaboration' category and WON! There were several other Trinity pupils who picked up awards in the 'Art' category competitions.  We also had two winning entries in the 'Film' competition, so hopefully we have some budding film makers at Trinity too.  It's great to win a trophy / prize, but it's just as important to take part, so well done to everyone who participated.

Lower Key Stage 2 enjoyed learning about Ancient Greece and put on a museum for the wider school and parents. We learnt about various topics, such as clothing, food, war, art and myths, and went on to research these for optional homework, creating some truly fantastic pieces of art and writing. The children truly enjoyed explaining to and interacting with other year groups, as well as to the adults, and in particular performing their Greek dances. We hope you enjoyed it too!

On Thursday 8th February, the children and staff really enjoyed a special sports circuit event and visit from athlete and gold medallist, Ryan Scott. The children have been raising sponsorship in order to get a playground gym and they managed to raise an astonishing £2740.50!! 

Further details as to when and where the playground gym will be installed, will follow shortly. Thank you to everyone who helped raised sponsorship.

We are delighted to be able to offer a very special workshop by Nixon & Nixon for parents / carers to attend.  Taking place on Tuesday 12th March between 7:00 - 8:00pm, the workshop will inform parents about the Flex-it! approach, which we will be introducing across the school to support children's mental health and well being.

Flex-it! will support children with managing their anxiety and developing emotional flexibility. The Flex-it! approach is intended to improve children's physical and mental health whilst developing stronger relationships with adults and their peers. We are hoping that this approach will support the children to become more aware of how they respond to and manage situations, helping them to regulate their emotions.

We will be asking parents who attend this training for a voluntary contribution of £5.00

Henley Youth Festival is a great way for children to show off their talents, whether that's performing on a stage or being creative on paper.  This year's theme is My Favourite Things and there are competitions for musicians, artists, performers and aspiring filmmakers.  We were delighted to welcome Alfie Hay, former Head of Trinity Primary School and one of the Festival's original founders, into school to talk to pupils about the exciting opportunities open to them.

Year 3, 4 and 5 pupils took part in Tennis Oxfordshire's second competition at Henley Tennis Club.  Along with two other local primary schools, Trinity were lucky enough to be invited to compete in the final and emerged victorious in both the Year 3 and Year 5 finals.  All pupils at Trinity also benefited from tennis coaching during PE lessons, thanks to local coach Tom.
