Pedestrian Road Safety

Oxfordshire County Council offers a free guide to parents and carers called Footsteps, which is designed to help primary school children become independent pedestrians who can keep themselves safe when they walk to school. Learning to cope with traffic is a practical skill that needs to be taught in real life with active decision-making. Please visit our wellbeing page for the Footsteps guide:

Photos please

As part of our RE curriculum next term, we will be answering the questions 'Who am I?' and 'Where do I belong?' 

To help illustrate this, we would like to share pictures of the children when they were babies and a picture of your child in a group that they belong to or have belonged to in the past (sports clubs, hobbies, Rainbows / Beavers etc). 

Please email over any pictures to your child's class teacher over half term:

Bryon@trinityprimaryschool.org or jeffers@trinityprimaryschool.org

Year 2 Football Festival - parent help need

Twenty children have signed up for the Football Festival on 20th March, which is great. However, we need at least one more adult to walk the relevant pupils from school to Rupert House, otherwise the children can't attend. If you are able to help for 30 minutes from 12:45pm please email Mrs Evans.

Any volunteers for Forest School?

Year 5 and 6 are due to be starting Forest school after half term, but we don't have enough parent helpers. The sessions cannot take place without at least one parent to support Mrs Chilvers. Each session is from 1:00pm - 3:10pm and it can be split into two halves. If you are able to help, please email your child's teacher.

• Mondays - Palmer class 
• Tuesdays - Rundell class 
• Thursdays - Zephaniah class 

Year 6 SATS

Your child should have brought home the CGP revision books for additional practice, starting during half term. Please refer to the email sent on 13th February for the explanation and expectations around this work. If you have any queries please email Zephaniah@trinityprimaryschool.org or Rundell@trinityprimaryschool.org

Year 6 Netball

Netball club will be continuing next half term on Mondays from 3.20pm - 4.15pm on the bottom playground.

We have made a great start this term and hope that a few more children might like to join us - we have space for 16 children. The club is run by Mrs Aiken with help from two parents and is for Year 6 children only. There is no charge to parents for this club and all are welcome.  The sessions will take place on 3rd March, 10th March, 17th March and 24th March (please note this excludes the first week back after half term and the last Monday before we break up for Easter).

We are also going to be playing in our first match!  Please note that in the event of bad weather, we may need to cancel the session at short notice.  The sessions will be focussed, energetic and consist of core netball skills development and match play. 

If your child would like to continue to take part in netball club or would like to join, please complete the google form via the link below by Wednesday 26th February. Your child will need to wear suitable clothing and trainers for the session. Please indicate whether your child has permission to walk home by themselves or will be collected at the end of the session.

https://forms.gle/sCwBX3EpXMKJJXV29

In the event that more than 16 children wish to take part, we will need to select via a random ballot. Confirmations either way will be sent prior to the first date.  If you have any questions please email Mrs Aiken on Zephaniah@trinityprimaryschool.org
