Durham Trinity School

Today Barbara, Caroline and I went to Durham Trinity School to collect some pictures that children at the school had drawn especially for us and our trip to New York.
I for one (and I know that Barbara and Caroline feel the same) will be proud to take them with us, as they are absolutely wonderful. They cover allsorts of Anglo-American icons from London buses to American high rise flats and the Statue of Liberty. There are definitely some budding artists at Trinity!
As well as receiving the pictures, we also got to sit in the assembly and watch the children receive their awards that they had earned with their work during the year - definitely well deserved by the sounds of things.
Unfortunately, we were too late to buy any of the raffle tickets that may have let us win one of those delicious looking Easter eggs.
To give you a bit of background on the school, Durham Trinity is a school that caters for pupils of all abilities between 2 and 19 years old from the Durham region. It is for children who have a range of disabilities.

Ann Southern (Deputy Head Teacher and Rotarian) is a Comenius Ambassador sponsored by the British Council and she generates a lot of international work within Trinity itself. Therefore as a school, it is no stranger to travel or integration of cultures, an invaluable asset as we are about to find out.

There is an Interact Club that is run by Durham Elvet Rotary Club at Trinity and Barbara plays a part in this, hence our group link to the school.

Finally, I would like to thank Ann for inviting us to Trinity to share in their assembly and also a big thank you to the children who created the pictures for us. We will let you know on our return how the trip has gone and who was lucky enough to receive the pictures.
