  Thu 25 Oct 2018
  Pupils from Year 1 to Year 6 came together to for our annual harvest festival.

Many thanks for all the donations that have been passed on to residents of The Hermitage and to the charity Helping Hands.

  

• Harvest donations

  Thank you for donating food items for our Harvest Festival today. The corridor certainly looked different this morning. Thank you also to members of the PTA who organised the donations into harvest boxes for The Hermitage and bags for Helping Hands. 

  

• Share a relaxing cup of coffee with Mrs Cooper!

  Tue 23 Oct 2018

  On Friday 26th October Mrs Cooper's Coffee Morning will be a relaxing one. An external provider but a parent from school will be introducing 'Relax Kids' to other parents,which will be provided as an after school club after half term. Children from Years 1 to 4 will be having an opportunity to experience this in school. Their aim is to enable your child to be more resilient and teaches them the tools to manage their physical, emotional and mental health and well being.

   

  Please come along at morning drop off and the kettle will be on!

  The space has been cleared and the house colours are displayed ready for any harvest donations to school from Monday. Let's hope the corridor looks very different by Thursday morning!

  

• Our Year 6 authors

  Thu 18 Oct 2018
  After reading The Highway Rat by Julia Donaldson, pupils from Year 6 were inspired to write their own stories based on the book. The children worked in groups to write and illustrate their own books which were fantastic. When they were finished, Year 2 were the audience and our older children got to retell their stories to pupils in Key Stage 1. Well done to our up and coming authors in Year 6. We are very proud of you.

  

• Pop stars of the future?

  Thu 18 Oct 2018
  Thank you to the willing volunteers who led the singing and actions for our harvest song at the front of  Y1-6 assembly this morning.

  The Book Fair has arrived in school! This October the Book Fair is being provided by The Book People. The children will enjoy browsing the books and hearing some of the stories during their library time this week.  Please come and see us in the library at the Parent Consultation Evenings on either Wednesday 24th or Thursday 25th October.  Why not have your bedtime story in the library before you head home?  Last entry will be 18:45pm please.  Many thanks in advance for your support. 

  Happy reading and browsing!

  Congratulations to our Year 4 Maths team who represented Greswold at KES on a Friday. They tackled the cross number challenge with determination and focus scoring 49/51. Staff from other schools commented on their resilience, patience and enthusiasm. Next was the face-paced speed round which they tackled with attention to detail scoring 24 points. Overall our team was awarded 3rd place with  just 3 points separating 1st place from 3rd place. Well done.
