School Choir All those children who have applied for a place in the school choir have been awarded a place – please come to the first practice on Monday. This club is open to KS2 children (from Year 3 and upwards). The club will run from 3.00pm – 4.00pm each Monday from 14th May to 9th July inclusive. There will be the chance to try some simple part-singing. I am very grateful to Ms Sharman for volunteering to do this for us – it has long been an ambition of ours to have a singing group in school. There are still places available so do stay after school and sign up with Ms Sharman if you would like your child to attend our new choir.

Church Visit Stonehenge class walked to the church in Great Cheverell today after a day of Religious Education in which they learnt about Christian places of worship. Hazel Symons, a bee keeper from Great Cheverell, came to our school and helped these children make candles out of beeswax – since candles are one of the great Christian symbols. My thanks to Hazel for giving so generously of her time and talents. Thanks also to Rev James Campbell who walked to the church with our children and helped to show them around. Continue reading

Dear Parents
Forest of Dean The Year 5 and Year 6 children had a wonderful time on their residential trip to the Forest of Dean, where they took part in adventure activities such as canoeing, caving, climbing, problem solving and the “Leap of Faith”! The weather was far better than we had dared hope and the children were, as ever, remarkably well behaved, kind, funny and great to be with. The teachers and helpers enjoyed seeing how their confidence, independence and courage developed through the activities. My thanks to Mr Amor and Mr Gyllenspetz who organised and led the trip, Mrs Andrew and Mrs Edwards who accompanied it, and our admin staff, Mrs Yates and Mrs Edwards (again) who made sure that everything was in place so that the trip went smoothly. There are some photos on our website – the direct link is http://holy-trinity.co.uk/photo-gallery/?album=1&gallery=14. Continue reading
