Holy Trinity celebrate British Science Week 2022
Today, Holy Trinity celebrated the start of British Science Week. Each class are participating in their own exciting growth activities.Clee started to talk about ideas and what growth meant to them today. I have seen some wonderful seed planting in Earls Hill and beans are growing in Wrekin Class. Caradoc are going to be looking at the tadpoles growing in Mrs Morgan’s pond via video and pictures. Longmynd will be investigating plants and their functions, whilst Ercall and Hawkstone are investigating the effect of sound on the growing of cress seeds. Stiperstones are looking at the size of planets and will be investigating the growth of crators. Finally, Haughmond will be investigating the growth of mould and bacteria and the growth of penguins in the Antarctic.
In assembly this morning, we lear
nt about how growth can be explored in so many different ways, as well as the definition of growth – Growth can mean the process of increasing in size or the progressive development of something.
Each class have been given their own sunflower seed and we will be having a school competition to see which class can grow the tallest sunflower.
The children will hopefully have come home with competition details today on designing their own posters on anything to do with growth. The posters will be judged at school and the there will be one winner awarded to each class with a prize and then the winners will be put forward to a national competition. Entries need to be into school by Tuesday 12th April. Here is the link for more details on the competition.: britishscienceweek.org/ plan-your-activities/poster-competition
Have fun with your wonderful competition ideas. I can’t wait to see them.

School Council Spread Hope from each class -around the Christmas Tree.
We have been busy in the classrooms this week, thinking about messages of HOPE which is the golden thread to all our Christian Values at Holy Trinity.
We discussed messages of Hope and voted for one in each class. We will be writing our individual messages of hope and displaying them in our main hall in the New Year.
SchoolCouncil then collected the messages of hope that had been made into Christmas baubles and placed them around our beautiful Christmas tree.
We HOPE you enjoy reading our messages.

Greek day in Caradoc
We have had the most amazing day today in Caradoc. The children all looked fantastic, I would like to thank all the parents and carers for all of your support in helping to make this day such success.
We tasted some traditional Greek foods including olives, flatbread and feta. The children made a tasty Greek salad to take home. The children also prepared a traditional Greek casserole using courgettes, aubergine and fresh herbs, it smelled fantastic. I can’t wait to hear what parents and carers thought of the sample we sent home. To drink we crushed grapes to make grape juice (not with our feet!).
Finally the children tool part in a Greek dancing activity and printed designs for a Greek style vase. Here are just a few photographs from our day. We would love it if you could tell us what you thought of the food the children brought home!

Whole School Giant Jump Science Investigation
Hi Everyone – Mrs Platt here!
Hope you are all enjoying the snow and staying safe.
I would love for us all to do a science investigation together. You know how much I love Science? I hear you have all started learning about Giants and may have heard the Biblical story of David and Goliath? 
I would like you to know who is the giant in your family and whether they can actually jump the furthest distance? Are your legs longer than your mum’s or sister’s? Who has the longest legs in your family? How are you going to measure them?
To follow the assignment – click on the picture to see it clearly.
This link below can show you all the steps involved.

I can’t wait to see your results. Send them to your teacher so that we can see who the giant is – in your family and who can jump the furthest distance. I am going to make a giant display back at school for you all to see when you return.
Good luck!
