• Greswold supports Breast Cancer Haven

  Thu 19 Oct 2017
  Staff and parents at Greswold have been supporting the charity Breast Cancer Haven. Mrs Cooper arranged a cake sale for staff while Mrs Rochelle Smith organised a raffle. Other staff and parents supported by donating prizes and helping with the raffle. Tickets were sold during the parent-teacher consultations and it is fantastic to reveal that the amount raised is £1140.50 - a brilliant result. Many thanks to everyone who supported the fundraising.

  

• Harvest Festival

  Thu 19 Oct 2017

  Greswold came together to celebrate our annual harvest festival at St. Helen's Church. While it was a bit wet for the walk, it was lovely to see our older children looking after younger pupils on the journey through the woods. Each year group had learned a song to perform and there were also some communal numbers including 'Big Red Combine Harvester'. Reverend Helen encouraged our pupils to reflect upon where their food comes from and to be thankful. Many thanks to everyone at St. Helen's for making us feel so welcome. 

   

  We must also say a huge thank you to everyone who sent in donations for the harvest festival. Items received were distributed to residents at the Hermitage and to the charity Helping Hands. The PTA also gave invaluable assistance in organising the items ready for collection.

• Year 5 Samba Workshop

  Mon 16 Oct 2017
  The Upper School Hall was moving in time to some Brazilian rhythms when Year 5 enjoyed a samba workshop delivered by Solihull Music Service. The children got to try a range of different percussion instruments and managed created a shared performance with everyone joining in. A great afternoon all round (though the Office did think it was a bit loud!) Thanks to Solihull Music Service for the sessions.

  

• Red sky at... day?

  Mon 16 Oct 2017
  Our pupils were displaying lots of curiosity about the sky today as it turned a strange red colour. There were lots of questions in class about the phenomena, which was caused by Saharan dust dragged to the UK by the remnants of Hurricane Orphelia. It certainly made the playground look very different for the morning!

  

• Key Stage 2 Orienteering Day

  Fri 13 Oct 2017
  Today Key Stage 2 headed outside for a morning of practical geography skills. The children enjoyed a range of activities which developed their geographical language and map reading. They also got to complete an orienteering course around the field. Thanks to Miss Lewis for organising the event.

  

• Key Stage 1 Dance taster sessions

  Wed 11 Oct 2017
  Children in Key Stage 1 have enjoyed a dance taster session with Animated Dance today. The children got to learn a routine to Salute by Little Mix which they could then perform in groups. There are still places left for the after school dance club if your child has been inspired. See the letter they have brought home tonight for more details.

  

• Cross Country Team

  Tue 10 Oct 2017
  Pupils from Year 5 and 6 represented Greswold at the South Solihull Cross Country event at Old Sils. The children did really well, with the boys team finishing 8th out of 22 teams and the girls team finishing 10th out of 17 teams. Well done.
