• Year 2 visit to St Alphege Church

  Fri 29 Nov 2019
  Pupils from Year 2 were invited to visit St Alphege Church in Solihull to find out about the Christmas story. After a brisk walk, the children were welcomed by Linda and her team. They then visited different stations around the church to listen to the story from the point of view of the shepherds and inn keeper before making a special Christmas bookmark. The highlight for many of the children was meeting a real baby taking on the role of Jesus. Many thanks to everyone at St Alphege for making us feel so welcome.

  A really positive start to the South Solihull Large Schools' Football League season culminated in an impressive 3-0 victory for the school football team against Our Lady of the Wayside in blustery, wet conditions on Thursday evening at Old Silhillians.  The victory means the team have won 3 of their first 4 matches and are on course to compete for one of the semi-final spots.  Previous results: Greswold 3 Knowle 1, Greswold 3 Ulverley 2 and Greswold 0 Monkspath 2.  Congratulations to all the players involved over the two rounds of games so far.

  Over the last few weeks, pupils from Year 5 have been learning songs and singing techniques from a specialist teacher from Solihull School.

Many thanks to Solihull School for this opportunity.

  Year 3 got on their bikes for a Bikeability taster session.

They also learnt the importance of looking after their bike and, of course, why wearing a helmet is so important.

  The normal blue jumpers and cardigans of Greswold's uniform were replaced with togas and chitons as Year 5 enjoyed an Ancient Greek themed day. Pupils got to take part in an Olympics with events including running, the javelin and even arm wrestling. The children also got creative and working as a group created their own Greek temples.

• Unveiling ceremony for new play houses for Early Years

  Mon 04 Nov 2019
  The whole of Greswold Primary school community were very proud and extremely grateful to members of Solihull Council's Environmental Initiative team and Birmingham Bentley after they voluntarily built three new playhouses, over half term, for our Early Years' pupils to use and enjoy in their outside area.  This afternoon, Mrs Scott had the honour of unveiling the houses to the children in a lovely ceremony.  As a school, we pride ourselves in working in partnership with our local community and this is an amazing demonstration of how our community selflessly volunteers its time to benefit our children.  It also highlights the lengths our fantastic staff will go to in organising such events with the sole purpose of enhancing the learning lives of pupils here at Greswold Primary.
