Normally we visit Booka in Oswestry for World Book Day, however this year has been very different. We were all so amazed by your wonderful costumes yesterday, well done. Yesterday, Booka held a Big Book Bonanza where authors discussed their books, as well as sharing what it is like to be an author and an illustrator.
Here is the link for you to watch this event at home.
At Holy Trinity we absolutely LOVE reading and we wanted to share with you some of our favourite books. Watch the videos below to find out about the books we love to read.
We can’t wait to hear about your favourite books too. Send your video to your class teacher on Class Dojo or on your class email.
On Thursday staff at Holy trinity will be holding live Story Time sessions on Zoom throughout the day. You can choose who you would like to listen to. The invites will be sent out by your class teacher on Dojo. We can’t wait to see which character you have chosen to dress up as, I wonder who the teachers will be?

Good morning, so it is our second installment of our whole school collective worship, please feel free to share with your children at home.
This week the focus is Love and Service.
Jesus was called the ‘servant king’: we are learning that his mission was to serve God and to serve all those people he met, through his teaching, his example and the way he led his life.
Hall of fame-
JK Rowling is best known for writing the Harry Potter novels. She was awarded the OBE for “services to children’s literature”. She used some of the money she had earned from her books to create a charity called The Lumos Foundation. This charity has changed the lives of orphaned children in Eastern Europe.
LOVE – 1 Corinthians 13:4-5
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it doe not boast, it is not proud.
SERVICE – Matthew 5:42
Learn to generously share what you have with those who ask for help and don’t close your heart to the ones who comes to you to borrow from you.

Good morning, so every week on a Friday, I will be posting a whole school collective worship for you to complete with your child/ren at home.
This week the focus is Wisdom.
A Christian Perspective on Wisdom:
Christians believe that true wisdom comes from God. As a believer grows in faith so wisdom will increase. In the Bible wisdom is seen both as a gift from God and a characteristic of God. In his parables, Jesus taught that placing trust in God and recognising what is of value in life brings fulfilment.
Proverbs 4:6-7
‘Do not forsake wisdom and she will protect you: love her and she will watch over you’.
We have a wonderful video from Holy Trinity Church for you to watch: – https://youtu.be/3e71ttF5CpA please click the link. Within the video we focus on the bible story:
‘Matthew 7:24-27 – The Wise and Foolish Builders’.

We are setting you a singing challenge to complete over half term and including the first week back in school. We will be studying the Bible story ‘Joseph and the coat of many colours’ when returning to school. Your challenge is to watch and listen to the powerpoint below (made by Miss Younger) and learn a song from the musical of Joseph called ‘Any dream will do’. Once you have learnt the song, can you record yourself singing and together, as a whole school, we will collate the videos and make our own version of the song.
You can find the song and lyrics attached to the post, or on You Tube:
The moral of the story is forgiveness, one of our school’s Christian Values and therefore the story has an important part in our school’s ethos and well-being of the children.
Colossians 3:13,
“Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.”
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is a musical comedy with lyrics by Tim Rice and music by Andrew Lloyd Webber. The story is based on the “coat of many colours” story of Joseph from the Bible’s Book of Genesis and was produced in 1999.
Please see the PowerPoint below created by Miss Younger and complete the following tasks:
Learn the song
Record yourself singing
Please send any videos in to longmynd@holytrinitycepa.co.uk by 2nd March 2021, which then gives us time to edit and create the final video.
I hope you are all well and enjoying our Health and Fitness Week. We are all very impressed with your creativity so far.
Today it is our Science and Discovery afternoon. Following on from Mrs Platt’s Science post, here are our Discovery activities for today. Have a look through the PowerPoints below and choose the activity or activities you would like to complete. Don’t forget to send photographs of your work to your class teacher!
It is well known that singing out loud releases feel-good hormones called endorphins that make you feel happy and positive. There is also a tiny part of your inner ear, called the sacculus, that releases even more happy hormones when it’s stimulated by music.
So Holy Trinity children and families turn up the volume and sing your hearts out!
I am challenging you to learn and sing out loud to one or both of these songs:
This first song is for the children in Nursery, Reception and KS1: It is called
I would love it if you could record yourselves singing and dancing to the songs.
When you are happy with the video send it to me at Clee@holytrinitycepa.co.uk and I will create one big video to share with you all.
This will be a great opportunity for you to express yourself through music, sing the songs and also for you to see your friends expressing themselves too.
You can film your video alone or with your brothers and sisters – anyway will be perfect! Be as creative with your filming as you can too.
