We all enjoyed Tristan‟s visit to Trinity. He spoke about his books and writing in general and about being an ambassador for “Room to Read.”
He shared a few rules about his work A good story is one quarter “Orientation”, half “Complication” and one quarter “Resolution”.
Use a character that wants something, another character that has opposite wants and stakes – what they each have to lose.
The value of music while writing a story to create a mood. He uses Spotify and storyscrapbook.com. The children were amazed with the variety of attributes for a crazy cat using different music.
The importance of detail in the story eg a foot that has been sweaty all day in a school shoe.
Use information from your own life and embellish and exaggerate.
“Two Wolves” took more than 5 years to write because it is quite different.
He read part of a story and then asked children to use some of the above to suggest complications.
He also encouraged children aged 10-14 to submit under 1000 words a story by August 22nd for possible inclusion in his new “My Life..” book.

Happy Fathers’ Day - The Trinity Community wishes you all a very Happy Father's Day. We offered this blessing at the Father's Day liturgy on Friday. Loving God, bless our Fathers, Grandfathers and all who are father figures in our lives, that they may be strengthened as Christian models of fatherhood. May their hearts be filled with generosity, kindness and compassion. Grant that we may honour them always with a deep abiding love and a spirit of profound respect. May they go forth knowing that they are valued and appreciated for they are and all they do. We ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen

A bronze medallist to Australia but a hero to us here at Trinity! Today we had Jayden Lawrence, a Commonwealth Games Bronze Medallist, and Evie’s dad visit us to talk about his bronze medal win in Birmingham and what it is like to be an Australian wrestler. Year 6 students asked Jayden insightful questions and Jayden was so kind to share his medal for all of us to see.
