Turn your unloved clothes and shoes into cash for our school!
We wanted to let you know about an exciting new project we’re discussing with the children this week. Today, we’re announcing our involvement in a new campaign and competition which aims to raise much-needed funds for the school whilst helping others in our community. And we need your help.
Please see attached letter with all the details:
Letter-to-Parents Recycle with Michael
We have about 50 bags available, ready to be filled with your unwanted clothes and shoes. If you would like a bag please as your class teacher and one will be provided – it is on a first-come basis as we only have 50.
It couldn’t be easier to get involved. Simply:
Fill the bags with your unwanted clothes and shoes (no bric-a-brac please). If you need more bags please ask at Reception.
Return the bags containing your unwanted items on 23rd June and leave them at the hall door which will be open at 8:30 am.
The Salvation Army will collect the bags and the money raised from the items will be shared with the school. The more bags we fill – the more cash we raise! If you’re having a clear out, remember Recycle with Michael, and donate to a great cause.
thank you for your continued support.

The sun shone and we all had a great time at Crucial Crew.
The children learnt essential life skills yesterday.
This is an important part of their PSHE curriculum. . At Crucial Crew, children learn of the dangers of drugs, internet abuse and bullying, stranger danger, the effects of hoax calls. awareness of the many dangers of the sea, water, electricity, railways, poor hygiene, smoking, building sites, internet, dog awareness, alcohol abuse and farm situations were all covered. As a result of attending, Year 6 are now more confident in themselves and in a better position to make a positive contribution to their communities as they mature into junior citizens. The children also take this information back to their families, and members of their communities who may not have been privileged to receive this training.
Stiperstones have had a busy few weeks, firstly we have had many super stars ⭐️
Our Stiperstones Superstars 🌟
Georgi was a star for his excellent sewing skills.
Connie was a star for the excellent perseverance she has shown to improving her handwriting and gaining her pen license.
Ameera was a star for her overall hard work in class.
DT
We started the term finishing our textile design and technology projects. The children used their design knowledge to research, design and make cushions. Myself and Mrs Rowley were very impressed with the children’s sewing skills and some excellent cushions were produced.
Science
Year 5 started the term by completing their forces unit with an ‘egg-cellent’ air resistance investigation. They were challenged to create parachutes for their eggs, the eggs were then dropped from the same height to investigate which parachute was the most successful at creating the greatest air resistance. There was only one egg-cident.
PE
In PE, we have been exploring different ways to travel, roll, balance within our gymnastics unit. The children have then used these elements to choreograph sequences.
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.

🌟 Stiperstones superstar 🌟
Hasan is our superstar this week for his amazing maths!
We’ve had a busy week in Stiperstones.
On Monday, Y5 continued with their Forces unit in science. Their task was to build different shaped boats, to see which travelled through water the best as part of our water resistant learning. We were focusing on key vocabulary such as: stream lined, hydrodynamic and surface area. Great science took place and we discovered that the narrower and pointier the boat, the quicker it travelled through the water as it was the most stream lined.
I
In PE this week, we have continued to develop our strength, flexibility, balance, stamina and agility skills in our fitness and mindfulness stretching units of study.
On Friday afternoon we starting making patterns and prototypes of our cushion covers in our DT lesson.
We firstly had to make patterns on square paper, to pin onto our chosen fabric. This process required the children to demonstrate their precise cutting skills and perseverance with pinning their pattern onto their fabric.
Once they had their pieces of fabric cut, they practised their running stitch skills again from last week, to sew their two pieces of fabric together. It was a great afternoon and I was very impressed with the sewing skills demonstrated by everyone.
On Thursday 2nd March, Stiperstones joined the school with celebrating our love for reading and dressed up as some of our favourite story book characters. There were many amazing outfits. Thank you adults at home for helping the children participate in this great day.
