Global Citizenship forms an integral part
of our daily lessons. Pupils are taught from
an early age about Respect, Diversity and
Inclusion. All our Grade 000 pupils were
given a gemstone to demonstrate how every
gemstone is different, yet one is not better or
more special than the other.
When we introduce a new Inquiry to our
pupils, we ‘wow’ or ‘shock’ them. This is
all presented in a fun and exciting way
to encourage the children to share their
thoughts and experiences with the rest of
the class. One of our exciting ‘wow’ tools
is a mind map.
The building blocks of good Math skills
start with number sense. Little children
learn to recognise the shape of the
number and the value and formation
of each number. We apply Maths in all
areas of our lives.
The bush babies have had such fun doing
a ‘Dancing Milk’ science experiment using
milk, food colouring and sunlight soap. They
have also been practising fine motor skills
by placing multicoloured beads onto a
piece of string. They also did a Show & Tell
about their pets and use their hands and
feet to create cats and dogs with paint.
For the school’s first OPD day in January
2021, pupils did a collection for Cotlands,
a non-profit organisation that aims to
help create a more equal and prosperous
society by giving its vulnerable children
the advantage.
On 6 March 2021, our beautiful campus
hosts an Open Day to showcase the
true Trinitonian experience. Our school
was beautifully decorated, and we
welcomed many prospective families to
our school.
Our Grade 0 classes explored the basic
principles of respecting one another. They
all decided on and agreed to 5 promises to
each other and “shook hands” through their
handprints.

Roary, our school mascot, entertained and
waved at our parents and small friends at
our schools’ intersection.
Our little ones had such fun exploring
different shapes, sizes and colours by
stringing beads in class. This simple activity
results in learning through play.
