• New play houses for our FKS area

  Tue 29 Oct 2019

  An amazing, hardworking team from Solihull council have kindly donated their time, resources and expertise skills to create three wonderful pallet, playhouse structures in our FKS outdoor area. A huge thank you to Solihull Council. We are so grateful for your time and we are sure the children will be very excited to see the houses after half term!

   

  Also a big thank you to Birmingham Bentley for their kind donation towards the project. Without the support from the local community and businesses, this project would not be possible.

  Fri 04 Oct 2019

  Greswold is committed to helping our pupils to lead a healthy lifestyle. Today in assembly, we welcomed Mrs McNeal who is Greswold's school advisor from Solihull Local Authority. She was visiting to present two awards that we are proud to have achieved.

   

  Greswold has been awarded a School Games Gold award for the second time for our participation in sporting competitions during the 2018-2019 academic year. Two children who represented Greswold at athletics events accepted the award with Miss Sumner who organises a lot of the sporting teams. We also received a Healthy Schools award for our work promoting our pupils' personal and social development including their physical and mental health. This award was received by Mrs Woodcock and two members of the School Council. Two great successes for Greswold.

  

• The first netball matches of the year

  Our netball A and B teams played their first matches of 2019 against Monkspath School. For our A team it was a league match while it was a friendly for the B team. The competition was strong and despite their best efforts, both teams were defeated. We were pleased with the resilience that both teams showed and they are determined to learn lessons to improve. Well done to both teams.

  

• KS1 and KS2 meet Buddy

  Tue 01 Oct 2019

  This week we welcomed Clelia from the NSPCC who visited Greswold to talk to the children about the charity. She introduced Buddy, the NSPCC's mascot, who is a cuddly speech bubble. He encourages children to speak out when something is wrong and Clelia went through the charity can help children when they are in trouble. Children in Year 5 and Year 6 will be having follow up workshops from the NSPCC focusing on how to keep themselves safe in different situations.

   

  To support the important work undertaken by the NSPCC, each class will be taking part in Buddy's Workout. This workout will be completed in school during the children's PE lessons. Each child has brought home a sponsorship form so that they can be sponsored for completing their workout. All money raised will go straight to the NSPCC.

   

  Many thanks to Clelia for visiting Greswold and thank you in advance for everyone who is able to support this fundraising event.
