What an amazing event! The children really took on board TREDS values of rugby and demonstrated excellent skills during the event.
Thank you to all the Year 6 students who were extremely supportive and engaging with the children. Huge thanks to the Henley Hawks coaches for running such an inspirational event and thanks to Mrs Evans for organising it all.
It was fantastic to see everyone taking part even though it was hot.
As part of Greener Henley Week, children were asked to write poems about the river and Enzo's poem was selected as runner-up. Enzo and family were invited along to the prize-giving and poetry reading ceremony and Enzo read his poem out loud. Well done to everyone who entered.
KS1 pupil Oscar had the idea to hold a bake sale outside his house to raise money for an Owl Sanctuary in Cornwall, which he visited over the holidays. He was really inspired by the literary topic last term and has been passionate about owls ever since. He and his brother sold cakes, cookies and home-grown vegetables and raised over £145 for the Sanctuary. Well done to Oscar for living our school vision.
To end the term, Trinity School took part in a 'Spring Fun Run' to raise money for our partnership school in Uganda - New Brainstorm School. Every child decorated a headband and all took part in a run around the field, which meant that someone was running throughout the whole school day. Thank you so much for your donations so far.

On Wednesday 21st May, several KS2 girls joined Sacred Heart, Badgemore and Valley Road in a Football Tournament at Henley YMCA. Year 5/6 came second against a very strong team from Valley Road, showing incredible sportsmanship and great teamwork. Year 3/4 came first and second, and with just one point in it a fabulous fourth.
It was a fantastic afternoon, despite the thunderstorm and heavy rain and Mrs Evans was really proud of everyone. Well done girls!

On Sunday 18th May several families came together at Stonor Park to run 340m (EYFS), 780m (KS1), 920m (LKS2) or 1850m (UKS2 and adults). Trinity children (and parents) did remarkably well and there were several Trinity families on the podium. A huge well done to everyone who participated, and a special mention to Oscar who encouraged his sister, in Y1, all the way around the course, even running alongside as she came in first.
It was fantastic to see so many Trinity families - next year, let’s try for the trophy with the most participants from one school. Well done everyone.

On Thursday 8th May, pupils came into school dressed in red, white and blue to celebrate the 80th anniversary of VE Day. Children shared family stories in class about people who lived through the War. Lessons included making bunting. Pupils from our school council were invited to go to the Town Hall for a special event marking VE Day, which included a fish and chip lunch. Thank you to everyone who donated to the British Legion.
On Friday 28th March, we were invited to attend an award ceremony to receive The President’s Cup, having participated in the Swimarathon at Braywick Leisure Pool in January. We managed to raise a total of £1028.75, but it was our support for one another and our positive sportsmanship and teamwork that helped us gain the cup. Well done to everyone who took part and a very special thanks to the children who came along on Friday evening.
Our newly formed Year 6 netball team took part in their first tournament and came away with the 'progress' award. They have now been invited to take part in the South Oxfordshire regional tournament. Well done!
This year, the children have been busy being funny to raise money for Comic Relief by hosting a joke competition in each class. The school council then read through each class's winning joke and voted for the overall winner – well done to Enzo in Zephaniah class!
Throughout the day classes took part in different Red Nose Day activities, such as quizzes, pin the red nose on the teacher, guess the laugh and design their own red noses.
Thank you so much for your donations, so far we have raised £296! Donations can still be made via the link: https://www.justgiving.com/page/trinity-ce-primary-school-9?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=CL
World Book Day is always a highlight for pupils (and teachers). This year children took part in a masked reader competition, where children had to guess which teachers were reading famous stories to them, while not showing their faces. They also took part in a word-based treasure hunt around the school site to unscramble words, which made up a well-known sentence from Winnie the Pooh. They all engaged in lots of fun activities in class, all based around our school book 'The Word Collector' and our whole school assembly celebrated the children who took part in our Extreme Reading Challenge, where children we photographed reading in unusual places outside.

The children really enjoyed a visit from Steve Frew, British artistic gymnast and gold medalist at the 2002 Commonwealth Games. Children took turns in completing a fun exercise circuit and then delighted in seeing Steve back flip, balance and leap over some (not so relaxed) volunteers during an assembly.
Thank you to everyone who has donated and contributed to funding some more exciting playground pieces. Last count, we had reached nearly £2,000, which is super close to our target.
