HolyTrinity3-16

Year 3 have thoroughly enjoyed their forest school experience. Class 5 and 6 both thoroughly enjoyed it (toasting marshmallows was the perfect way to end a busy term!)! Thank you Fenn's Den! #holytrinitystars

Last week we held our annul Easter bonnet competition for our younger children in school. It was so lovely to see the hall filled with colour. We had some amazing entries! KS2 were challenged to make a catapult to launch a hard boiled egg. The effort and skills were phenomenal.

Last week the Year 10 Hospitality & Catering group have made fresh pasta and pesto - a great time was had by all! #holytrinitystars

Huge thanks to everyone who donated eggs for the primary phase Easter raffle - we had over 300 eggs for the children to win! The children loved trying their luck on the raffle - your generosity is much appreciated.

On Friday, we held our Lenten Liturgies for all classes across school as we remembered the true meaning of Easter. Pupils were very respectful and it was expertly delivered by our secondary pupils.

We were lucky enough to have a brass quartet from the @BarnsleyMusicSv in school last week. They showed pupils from the primary phase a range of instruments and how they have evolved over time. We were also given a performance by our Year 4s on their brass instruments! Amazing!

Our Year 5 and 6 pupils enjoyed taking part in a Tag Rugby event last week. They had great fun! #holytrinitystars

Class 5 (Year 3) have had a lovely afternoon baking bread. It looked and smelt delicious! #holytrinitystars

Year 1 had a fabulous day at @YorkshireWP last week. #holytrinitystars

During Art lessons this half term, class 3 (year 2) have been focusing on abstract art and expressive art. They have spent some time focusing on artists such as Charlie French and Van Gough, looking at the types of ways they create texture on their paintings.

During British Science week, our Yr 6 and 7 took part in an STEM roadshow called The Material World, delivered by education engagement specialists hi-impact and Altru Drama, sponsored by BAE Systems. Our Yr 8 students and science club members took part in a boat race challenge.

Huge thankyou to our Y10 BTEC leaders who helped out at the Primary Tag Rugby event this week 👏🏻🙌🏻 @HolyTrinity316

Another fabulous Forest School afternoon with Fenn's Den. This week it was Class 7 (Year 4) who spent the afternoon completing a range of activities (including relaxing in a hammock!). #holytrinitystars

Lots of #BritishScienceWeek experiments have been taking place in the primary this week. Year 4 looked at the question: Will plants grow on the Moon? Year 2 looked at the question: How does changing the amount of vinegar affect the height of the eruption in a baking soda volcano?

Reception have enjoyed their Science this week. They have pretended to be The Big Bad Wolf and test what things they can blow down, what liquids the Gingerbread Man would crumble in and which materials the Billy Goats Gruff could use as a boat to get across the river!

Congratulations to one of our Year 5 pupils who took part in the Yorkshire Tumbling Championships at the weekend. She placed 1st for her age category meaning she is now going to represent Yorkshire in the English Championships. We are all so proud of you! A great achievement!

Our Year 4 art club have been researching the work of Barnsley artist Adam Briscoe. They have created an artist page finding facts and working in his style as part of their Arts Award journey. #holytrinitystars

This week, in science club, our students conducted a number of chemical reactions to produce some lovely gifts for Mother's day. We cannot give too much information as we do not want to reveal the surprises before Sunday! #holytrinitystars

For British Science Week, Class 1 (Year 1) investigated which liquid makes the best skittle rainbow. We tested milk, white vinegar, cold water and hot water and timed how long it took for the colours to run using a stopwatch. #holytrinitystars
