We are very proud of our wonderful library at Holy Trinity and would like to thank the talented Mrs Roberts and our trained librarians for all of their hard work transforming our library into such a magical place.

Why not focus on self-care this Lent. Here are 40 self-care ideas to choose from, why not pick one each day and give yourself a boost of positivity.
I have also attached a printable one if you would like a copy. If you take part and want to share any ideas or images, please email them to hutson.j@holytrinitycepa.co.uk where we can share the boosts of positivity.
We will be taking part in class and you can take part at home too.
We have had a great start to our new term. The children have settled back really well and we have already completed a few assessments as part of Assessment Week for the whole school. It is already evident to see that the children are making remarkable progress.
This was Haughmond’s final World Book Day and they all made a fabulous effort with their costumes. Thank you so much to all of our parents for your support. Miss Richard’s kindly printed them off and laminated them for the children to take home.
The children have also been completing their personal Typography maps – which they were finishing off this Friday with Miss Jones.
Finally the children have enjoyed taking part in their first Mindfulness stretching lesson in PE. This is part of our PE programme and links to their mental health and well being.
Enjoy our photos below!

to those performing later in the week.
This week in Art we have completed our Charcoal cave art. We thought about space and texture for the walls and how we could create shadows when we shined torches into them. The children were fantastic and really enjoyed creating their final pieces.
We used the apparatus in Gymnastics this week to practice our movement, balances and rolls. The children will build on this to create group sequences next week.
‘Let’s Connect’ is about making connections with others in healthy, rewarding and meaningful ways. This can be online, in a team or choir or shared dance, in the community, through acts of kindness, etc. Let’s Connect is about making meaningful connections. Human beings thrive in communities, and this connection is vital for our well-being. When we have healthy connections – to family, friends, and others – this can support our mental health and our sense of well-being. And when our need for rewarding social connections is not met, we can sometimes feel isolated and lonely – which can have a negative impact on our mental health. In the week commencing 6th February, we will be exploring these ideas with the children and the whole school community.
As well as supporting Mental Health Week, we have created our very own virtual classroom full of resources, support for parents and children, helpful hints and games.
How to use the interactive classroom:
- Click on any images in the bookcase to access (left) books (right) games and activities
- Click on the ‘proud to support’ which will take you straight to the Children’s mental health support page.
- Click on ‘need help‘ for support pages such as charities and support with school
- Click on ‘activities and strategies‘ for games and activities for children
- Click on the ‘grown-ups poster‘ for support for adults and our very own concerns and questions box where we will get back to you.
Many people struggle with their mental health at times and there is no shame in admitting these struggles. The sooner support is available, the better. At Holy Trinity we support students to have good mental health through our curriculum and support services. Supporting children and parents is key and through the virtual classroom, we feel support is available. We have a Mental Health and Wellbeing team at Holy Trinity who are available for both adults and children.
Its been another fantastic week of learning in Long Mynd this week!
We have been using the xylophones in music to practise songs and keep a rhythm.
In Art we have began creating our cave walls for our Cave Art Project using charcoal, rubbers and chalk.
In Science we have learnt about muscles and investigated whether people with longer, thicker quadriceps could jump further.
In PE we have been practising using bunny hops to move and get on and off apparatus. We also practised our balances on and off the apparatus.
