• Year 2 visit St Alphege Church

  Fri 30 Nov 2018

  Year 2 had a fine winter morning for their walk to St Alphege Church. They visited the church in Solihull to go on a 'journey to the stable' and learn more about the Christmas story. On their journey around the church the children met an inn keeper, shepherds, Mary and Joseph. There was even a real baby in the manger. Many thanks to Linda and the team at St Alphege for making us feel so welcome and to all the parents who came with us on the visit.

• PTA Movie Nights

  Thu 22 Nov 2018
  Pupils from Key Stage 1 came together to watch a film at this term's PTA Movie Night. This time the film was Peter Rabbit and the children enjoyed the modern take on Beatrix Potter's classic tale. There was lots of laughter at the slapstick comedy and the children also got a snack to make the experience a real treat. Thank you to the PTA for organising the event and the movie night or Key Stage 2 last week. All money raised will go back into supporting projects here at Greswold.

  

• Year 3 Roman Day

  Tue 20 Nov 2018

  Pupils from Year 3 brought their learning about the Romans to life with a special themed day. Children came dressed up in Roman costumes and got to try lots of exciting learning activities including being archeologists, tasting Roman food and trying out some military tactics. A great day. Many thanks parents for all the effort that went into creating the costumes.

• KS2 relax with yoga

  Fri 16 Nov 2018
  Children in Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 had a different lesson on the timetable today with a yoga session from Nichola from True Colours Yoga. The children learnt different yoga poses on their own and with a partner. They will be following up the learning with sessions in their classes next week as part of our school-wide Respect week. We hope that the yoga lesson was enjoyable and will give our pupils a way they can help themselves to relax.
