We will be holding our Harvest Festival service twice in school, one at 9.00am-9.30am and the other at 2.30pm-3.00pm. The service will be led by Year 2 worship leaders and each year group will be singing a song that they will have practised over the preceding weeks.

In the past, this has always been a very popular service and, as space in our school hall is limited, we have had to hold the service twice to accommodate everyone who wished to attend.

We would like to ask all parents who would like to attend this service to book a session.

One Can Trust

We will be collecting items for One Can Trust during the week of 30^th September for our Harvest offering. There will be boxes out at drop-off and pick-up all week. Please see below their priority list of items. If every child could bring in one tin or packet, then we would have 160 items to donate to One Can Trust, which would have a big impact. We will send out another reminder closer to the time.

Pick up & drop off - REMINDER

Please remember that children (and adults) should not be riding scooters or bikes on school grounds - please make sure that bikes and scooters are pushed until they are outside the main gates.

When on school grounds, children should be supervised by their adults at all times until they are handed over to school staff. Please do not allow children to run around at the front of school or on the field.

Holy Trinity Open Evening

• Date: Tuesday 8^th October 2pm-3pm & 5pm-7pm

Holy Trinity will be holding two sessions for prospective families. They will showcase the journey of moving up from KS1 to KS2, and it is an opportunity for parents/carers interested in applying to our school to see and find out more about our linked Junior School.

Curriculum Evenings

• Year 1: Wednesday 25^th September

We will be holding information evenings for parents of children in Years 1 & 2 over the next few weeks. These meetings will be in the school hall from 7.00pm-8.30pm.

At each session we will be outlining the Curriculum and explaining how the children will be learning this year and giving you some ideas on ways to support your child's learning at home. We will also talk about transition and end of year assessments.

Great Fire of London day - Year 2

• Date: Wednesday 23^rd October

This week, a message was sent to Year 2 parents and carers about an enrichment event that is taking place this half-term. 'History Off the Page' will be coming into school to give the children an even deeper experience of the Great Fire of London topic by immersing them into Stuart Britain. This is a fabulous day for the children when they become archaeologists, candlestick makers, leather makers...the list is huge.
