Thank you so much to Mr Squibb for all of his hard work in putting it together. Your child should also have come home with this year's World Book Day (UK & Ireland) voucher today to redeem against one of this year's books or to get £1 off another book. We'll see you from 8am tomorrow morning on the playground for our book swap! #LetYourLightShine #WorldBookWeek #worldbookday2026

As we enter Book Week at Trent, Mr Squibb has made some small book related quizzes for each evening this week to get us thinking all things books. If you know the answers to some of the questions, comment the colour team your child/ren are in with your answers to help earn some extra team points for their team over the week - your book knowledge could help their team win this week! Tonight's quiz is: Zoomed in Front Covers - can you recognise the front covers from a small zoomed in section? #LetYourLightShine #worldbookday2026 #WorldBookWeek

We can't wait for Trent's World Book Week next week! The poster below gives a flavour of what will be happening. #LetYourLightShine #worldbookday2026 #WorldBookWeek

Don't forget that it's our quiz night on Friday 27th! Mr Hamblin has the questions at the ready and we hope to see you there!! #LetYourLightShine

Fox Class had an intriguing trip to The Tutankhamun Exhibition in Dorchester as part of their Ancient Egypt history unit this half term. The children enjoyed finding out about Tutankhamun and the discovery of his tomb. They also put themselves into Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon's shoes by exploring a replica antechamber and burial chamber for Tutankhamun. We were even lucky enough to come up close to a real, golden figure of Tutankhamun that is over 2,000 years old! The children behaved wonderfully and let their lights shine through engaged listening, contributions and curious questions! #LetYourLightShine

We had a fantastic visit from Bugfest on Thursday as Nick and Leighton taught us more about the impact of minibeasts on the world. The whole school loved finding out about how we rely so much on minibeasts before Y6 stayed for an additional mind-blowing session to find out more about how the minibeasts have changed and adapted over time to suit their environment, fitting in wonderfully with their science learning this term. #LetYourLightShine

Earlier in the week, Owl Class planted a new hedge around part of our forest school area. In inclement weather conditions, they worked brilliantly in teams to prepare the ground, plant and guard their new plants. We look forward to seeing the plants thrive over the coming years. Thanks to TCV - The Conservation Volunteers for helping us in providing the trees!! #LetYourLightShine

We're really proud of our Y6 dodgeball team who competed in the cluster tournament this evening. Playing against all of the other local schools, they came a respectable fourth and grew in confidence greatly across the event. It was also very positive to see how they picked themselves up after a tricky patch mid-way through the event to end on a high! #LetYourLightShine
