Holy Trinity Winter Fair

2016

Santa's Grotto was a magical experience for all.

Our teachers had such fun hosting games for the  children and families

The puddings and cakes were a treat as always

The cooks made some amazing festive food, just what we needed

The children loved having their faces painted. The snow queen look, was a big hit.

Both the Jarbola, and Tumbola were buzzing tables. The children and parents loved their prizes.

The sweets were beautifully wrapped with bows and ribbons and presented with big smiles.

The perfect Christmas gifts were found on our books, toys, and DVD tables.

We were so excited for one another at the raffle prize draw, there were many screams and cheers. Congratulations to everyone that won a prize!

HTSA EGM 20th May

On Friday 20th May 2016 we are holding an EGM to ratify the constitution of the HTSA. 

Based on the rules of the old constitution we require 25 members to pass any changes – to get as many people as possible to attend we are holding the EGM in conjunction with the last minute preparation session for the Spring Fair 2016.

The amendments – drafted by our treasurers Wiebke and Hannah – bring the constitution in line with the PTA-UK model constitution from 2011 and are designed to reflect our practice by taking the school size into consideration. The aim is to make the HTSA more streamlined and efficient.

Without an up-to-date constitution we will be unable to progress with our plans for Gift Aid – please, can you spare a few minutes in the Club Room at 9:00am on the 20th May?


You can view both the current and proposed amended constitutions HERE.


Thanks to Wiebke and Hannah for all their work on this 

Huge Thanks to Haven & Dominos Sponsors of Our Forthcoming Spring Fair

The Spring Fair is on the 21st May 2016 and we couldn't do it without the help of Haven Estate Agents and Dominos Pizza.

Thanks for your support guys!

Y6 Cake Sale This Friday!

This Friday 12th it's the Y6 Cake Sale!

Celebrate Valentine's Day AND half term from 3:30p.m in the playground. 

Ask Me What I Did Post 20:01:16

The Ask Me What I Did Post is the HTSA's version of the school's Ask Me What I Did Postcards that get sent home to mark our children's achievements.

While events of recent weeks regarding high school places here in N2 have been occupying much of our time and energy, we're delighted to say that vital fundraising hasn't been neglected here at Holy Trinity.

Many of you will have enjoyed the wonderful DVD of the 2015 nativity made by Ginie, Lucy's mum in Y2E!

Lucy's regular contributions to the life of HTS and her fundraising efforts have not gone unnoticed and she has featured in this slot before. But particular praise is due in the case of her DVD.

It is a beautiful memento of one of the great rites of passage in a school journey and one that we can enjoy for years to come. Not only that, but the DVD has been tailored to each specific class and features some great bonus material.

We appreciate the amount of concentration and focus required to bring such a project to fruition - especially at Christmastime when, as a parent you had a LOT on!

Thanks for sharing your time and talent, Ginie.

Last word of praise – your excellent pay-what-you-can (up to £5) pricing policy was also a very good idea.

Well Done Y3!

Year 3 cake sale last Friday raised £126! 

Well done to all who bought and baked!
