• Sports Day

  Sat 20 May 2023

  Well done to Blue Team who won our Sports Day yesterday!! The day started with all children taking part in a range of field events, including welly wanging and an obstacle course. We then moved to the track for sprints. All children gave their races their maximum effort and we saw some very impressive and close races! Finally, we were very impressed to see each class compete in the relay and I think we got every single baton around safely (more than can often be said in the Olympics!). Thank you to everyone who came along to support as the atmosphere was absolutely electric! 

  

• Coronation Celebrations

  Fri 05 May 2023

  Wow, what a day! We started the day with KS2 being joined by Mr Richens and Mr Bryant to learn about the different flags and standards that we see so often before raising our coronation flag on the village green. We then set about praying for good weather over lunchtime.
  
  With the rain staying just over the horizon, the tables were out for our playground coronation party. We were lucky to be led in our National Anthem by some amazing musicians from Sherborne Girls who then continued playing over lunchtime. Thank you so much for your time and effort - it made our lunchtime so special.
  
  With a few specks of raining falling, we moved to the hall for a musical interlude with a sneak preview of KS2's summer performance of Annie, an excellent rendition of The Lord's My Shepherd, and then an incredible re-enactment of the coronation from Hedgehog Class - they acted out their parts so well and remembered their lines brilliantly (including some very tricky words, including sceptre and monarch!).
  
  As has become tradition at these sorts of events, country dancing and maypole dancing followed, with everyone enjoying clapping along and dancing with huge smiles on their faces.
  
  The day finished with the children being presented with a badge commemorating the coronation, before we headed outside to plant a horse chestnut tree (planted by our oldest and youngest children).
  
  Thank you to Mr and Mrs Casely for kindly donating the horse chestnut tree, to Sherborne Girls for your fantastic music, and to the ever-incredible Friends of Trent School for everything they did to make the day success!

  

• Yr 3/4 Football Tournament

  Tue 02 May 2023

  A huge well done to our Yr 3/4 footballers for representing us so well this evening at the cluster tournament. We won the plate competition, having won three games (and only losing and drawing once in two very close games against the two eventual finalists!) We scored some great goals, played our positions very well and showed some excellent skills. It was also brilliant to see the children showing brilliant sportsmanship and enjoying it with a smile on their faces.

  As the football season draws to a close, thank you to everyone who has been involved this season! We've had a very successful season with more children being involved in a team than I can ever remember in my time at Trent. We've seen games involving so many children from across KS2, including a very successful season for our girls' football team, who lost to the eventual winners to the North Dorset Davison cup competition.

  Thank you too to our football kit sponsors Sherborne Turf for always keeping us looking so smart - the children always feel so proud to pull on the kit!

  

• Field to Food Learning Day

  Wed 19 Apr 2023

  Fox and Owl Classes had a wonderful day out at the Field to Food Learning Day at the Bath and West Showground. We learned all about the process of manufacturing the food that we eat along with many other aspects of country life, including keeping our water clean, bees, sustainability and hedgelaying. Thank you so much to all of the volunteers for their time and generosity as the children all learned so much!

  

• Easter

  Fri 31 Mar 2023

  We've had a very busy week as the spring term drew to a close. On Tuesday, all children participated in Experience Easter where they were able to think deeply about the Easter story.

  Today, we loved seeing all of the brilliant Easter bonnets and the children enjoyed the Easter raffle and egg hunt. This afternoon, the school community gathered at St Andrew's for our Easter service. It was lovely to see so many children taking part in the service and the singing was wonderful!

  Thank you to everyone who has helped and supported the school community this week - from chocolate donations for our Easter egg hunt and raffle, to donating cakes and providing flowers for today's service. A particularly huge thank you to the amazing Friends of Trent School for all they do in allowing our children have the very best experiences they can!

  

• Football Fundraiser

  Thu 30 Mar 2023

  We were delighted that some of our Y4 children wanted to raise money for the people of Turkey and Syria so organised a 'beat the keeper' football fundraiser. We were lucky to be joined by Mr Weale to provide us with some challenge and we all loved taking penalties against him (and seeing Mr Weale get very muddy!!). Well done to the boys who raised over £130 and thank you so much to Mr Weale for joining us for the afternoon.

  

• World Book Day

  Thu 02 Mar 2023

  We've had an incredible World Book Day as we celebrated our reading for pleasure culture. Children enjoyed sharing their favourite books alongside lots of other book-related activities. Thank you to everyone who helped with the AMAZING costumes! 

  

• Year 4/5 Football

  Wed 08 Feb 2023

  Well done to our Yr 4/5 footballers who played in their first game together as a team this afternoon. They beat a strong Yetminster team 3-1 and played amazingly well as a team. Trent certainly has a bright football future for years to come with these players coming through!

  

• Carol Singing

  Fri 16 Dec 2022

  What a lovely way to end the term with carol singing in the village. It was fantastic to see so many of you there and joining in too! Thank you for all of your support over this very busy term and we hope that you all have a restful Christmas holiday. We'll see you all back at school on Tuesday 3rd January.

  

• Helicopter Visit

  Mon 12 Dec 2022

  With Christmas just around the corner, we needed a way to get our letters to Santa to the North Pole. Luckily, Royal Naval Air Station Yeovilton were on hand with one of their Wildcat helicopters to drop by and pick up our letters. The children were delighted to know that their letters would safely get to the North Pole and loved meeting the amazing Wildcat crew too. Thank you so much to the whole team at RNAS Yeovilton for giving up their time to offer the children this amazing experience!
