Congratulations to Teddy W in Zephaniah class for winning the school mural competition. Teddy's design was one of three shortlisted and the whole school voted for their favourite. The design of the mural had to reflect our school vision, who is my neighbour, and we all believe Teddy's design really represented this beautifully.
To see the other shortlisted designs, please visit the Gallery section of the website:
Thank you to PC Michael Dix from Thames Valley Police who came to talk to Years 5 and 6 about the law and how the police deal with reports of bullying, misuse of social media and anti-social behaviour. PC Dix also visited our Early Years children to talk to them as part of their Learning Means The World topic 'People who help us'.
PC Dix emailed Mrs Whittle after the visit to say ''What a great visit that was, I really enjoyed my time at your school. The pupils were fantastic, so well behaved and fully engaged with the talk. As you know I also visited Yr 1 and even the reception class which was something I’ve never done before but I think was a really important opportunity.''
We were delighted to welcome Santa into school this week, to visit our classes and hand out a small gift to each of the children. Luckily everyone was on the Good List, including Mrs Whittle!
On Sunday, 15th December, members of Trinity's Year 1, 2 and 3 choir, took part in a wonderful Community Carols Service at Holy Trinity Church. Many community groups were there, including scouts, charity groups and other schools. The children sang one of their Christmas songs - Nativity - really confidently to a large and appreciative congregation and joined with the other children to sing Silent Night and lots of other rousing Christmas Carols, accompanied by musicians from Henley Symphony Orchestra. It was a lovely event and we were proud of how well the children represented our school.

One of the auction prizes at the FOTS Summer Ball was for your child to be the Headteacher for the day. One of our Year 4 pupils spent today assisting Mrs Whittle, including giving out the awards in our Achievement Assembly. She requested that each teacher plays their favourite song to their class and she was on hand to help with Headteacher's hot chocolate, which rewards the Stars of the Week. She did everything with such a lovely manner and all the staff think she has the makings of a great Headteacher.
Huge thanks to Asquiths Bearpawium on Hart Street for allowing Year 1 and 2 pupils to visit their enchanting shop and learn about the history of the Teddy Bear and the remarkable legacy of Steiff Teddy Bears. This links to KS1's current topic of learning about toys from the past. Owner Rachel commented ''It’s wonderful to see the children so engaged and enthusiastic about the history of toys, especially the Teddy Bear. The stories behind these Teddy Bears not only teach us about craftsmanship and innovation, but also about love and resilience over the years."
A group of year 5 pupils attended a forensic science workshop at Pangbourne College. Using various forensic investigation techniques, the children worked with pupils from Yattendon Primary School to solve clues and find out who had stolen the headmaster's goldfish.
