At Holy Trinity we are big on themed days, workshops and school trips. All these have a huge impact on our students willingness to learn and make it a fun environment to do so. Here are a few of the activities that our children have enjoyed so far this academic year.

• School Fun Run

  Tue 21 May 2024

  On Tuesday, we had our School Fun Run! We invited children to come into school on this day wearing something they felt showcased who they are. It was a delight to see a range of home dress, cultural clothing, religious items, uniforms from clubs and homemade outfits sharing some of the children’s’ favourite things. This sparked lots of curiosity amongst the children and many were asking their friends questions to learn more about them.

  Thank you so much to all of the children and adults who took part, running around our field showcasing who they are with pride.

  A huge well done to our Anti-Bullying Ambassadors and School Council Representatives for bringing this idea to us and for cheering everyone on, encouraging them to keep going.

  Here are some quotes from the children about the day,

  ‘The fun run was great, it gave us an opportunity to express ourselves.’

  ‘The fun run helped us to know more about each other whilst we ran.’

  ‘The fun run felt great for both my physical and mental health.’

  ‘The fun run was filled with joy, positivity and acceptance.’

  ‘I loved having the chance to celebrate how we are different.’

  We are proud of all of you!

  Fri 17 May 2024

  Year 4 went to Dartford Park to read their Wat Tyler speeches convincing the peasants to join their revolt. On the way, they stopped outside the Wat Tyler pub to discuss his connections to Dartford and then had our very own revolt around the school! 

  

• Year 5 Wonderdome

  Wed 17 Apr 2024

  Year 5 had the pleasure of experiencing the Wonderdome! This immersive 360-degree inflatable dome enabled the pupils to learn more about the Solar System, Space exploration and our universe. The pupils had a fantastic time and gained a wealth of knowledge that will help them with their future work this term.

  

• Easter Bonnet Parade

  Tue 26 Mar 2024

  It was great to see so many take part in this years Easter Bonnet Parade. So many wonderful designs were on display and it was clear a lot of effort had been made. All children loved walking around the school showcasing their bonnet and it was great to see so many parents arrive to support them. Well done to our newly formed PTA for doing such a great job at organising this event and congratulations to the winners.

  

• Reception Easter Garden

  Thu 21 Mar 2024

  Children in reception helped to dig and make an Easter garden to celebrate Easter. They have made crosses from sticks, painted rocks and made Jesus from junk modelling. They have all enjoyed the activity and its lovely to be seen by all the students as they walk around the school,

  

• Year 1 Dinosaur Workshop

  Tue 19 Mar 2024

  Our year 1 children got to locate and identify fossils from some of the most iconic dinosaurs of the past. Tyrannosaurus Rex, Stegosaurus, Triceratops with a few other surprises thrown in. The children learnt where each dinosaur lived, where they came from, what they ate and much more. It was thoroughly enjoyed by all of the children and a great workshop to continue their learning for this term’s topic.

  

• World Book Day

  Thu 07 Mar 2024

  We had a great time celebrating World Book Day and it was wonderful to see a river of characters from all different books. There were lots of activities with children exploring different classrooms and teachers throughout the day, taking along their passports to get stamped.

   

  Winners of best costume and a book token prize went to Zara, Alisa and Daniel – Well done you all looked great!

  

• Dance Competition

  Tue 05 Mar 2024

  We took our Dance Crew to The Central Theatre in Chatham where they had the opportunity to compete on stage against 21 schools across the South East in The Great Big Dance Off!
  It was a wonderful experience for them: not only to perform, but to be able to watch other schools perform to an incredible standard.
  We are extremely proud of the dedication and creativity the children have shown and are thrilled to announce that we placed 9th with a huge score of 224.

  

• Easter Chicks

  Mon 04 Mar 2024

  Reception have been very lucky to receive 10 eggs to watch hatch over the week. 10 gorgeous chicks have hatched and the children have enjoyed watching them, other year groups have also been to visit the chicks and they have been a huge hit with everyone.

  

• Football News

  Mon 04 Mar 2024

  The school football team played their final two league games of the season on Monday against Dartford Primary and Langafel. Despite a valiant effort and outstanding teamwork, we couldn't get the 3 points we needed and drew both games 1-1. Whilst we are disappointed not to win the league, we are extremely proud of the progress the team have made since September and to be named league runners-up. There is plenty of football to play with the Premier League Shield on the 20th March and a warm-up friendly against Crook Log on the 19th March. Player of the match, for his consistency, shot stopping and distribution of the ball was Bobby H. Congratulations Bobby and the entire squad for an outstanding league campaign.
