Cross Factor Hope Journey On Tuesday, Year 5 visited Trinity Methodist Church to take part in a special Hope Journey to learn more about the story and the themes of Easter. We had great fun participating in 6 different workshops including roleplay; hot-seating and re-enacting Palm Sunday. Children represented the school extremely well through their behaviour and engagement. Well done, Tigers!
