• Impressive Year 6 artwork

  Thu 16 Dec 2021

  This week year 6 unveiled their artistic talents with the appearance of a portrait display showcasing their marvellous sketching skills.  The results were just too good to not share with the school community.  A massive well done children for your efforts. 

  

• House Point assembly

  Thu 16 Dec 2021

  This morning's house point assembly looked back at numerous acts of kindness being demonstrated by pupils and staff around school over the past half term.  A recent charity event at a football match in Spain was also mentioned, helping to show that acts of kindness take place all over the world.  Well done to Sparrows in Year 3 who were presented with a certificate to celebrate the children's achievement in having the highest attendance (96.8%) across the school since the start of September.  St George's are still in pole position on the house point leader board closely followed by St Patrick's but there's still a long way to go.  Finally, congratulations to our House Point and Superstar winners who also received certificates today.   

  

• Festive fun!

  Wed 15 Dec 2021

  The last couple of weeks at Greswold have marked the return of a few of our favourite end of term events.  Families of Reception and Nursery pupils were all treated to wonderful performances from their children in Reception's outdoor Christmas play first followed by Nursery's.  Both were absolutely fantastic and enabled everyone who participated and attended to get into the spirit of the occasion. 

   

  This week has featured each year having a Christmas party where children can dress up in their wonderful party clothes and enjoy games and food with their year group and class.  This also coincided with a super Christmas lunch on Wednesday which all the children took part in and enjoyed.  Again, festive jumpers were out in force on that occasion too! 

  

• PTA Christmas Fayre - A wonderfully memorable occasion for both the whole school community and local community

  Mon 06 Dec 2021

  Saturday 4th December marked the return of our beloved PTA Christmas Fayre and what a memorable occasion it was!  Thank you to everyone who came and made the whole event not only enjoyable but safe as well. Your generosity was unparalleled and we're very pleased to announce a magnificent £5,600 profit.  The proceeds will go back into school to provide curriculum and learning enhancements for every single Greswold pupil to benefit from. 

   

  It couldn't have been achieved without the outstanding endeavours of our wonderful PTA members who spent weeks preparing, the Friday evening setting up and hours afterwards cleaning up ready for the first working day of a new school week on Monday.  In short, it was an occasion which really showcased what the Greswold community is all about.  Thank you again.   

  

• A whole school advent calendar is being unveiled each day this month

  Mon 06 Dec 2021

  The children of Greswold have been very busy creating stories and poems associated with Christmas and winter to form a whole school advent calendar.  You may have seen it on the upper school hall at our recent Christmas Fayre.  It's been wonderful to unveil a new door each day in assembly and discover the wonderful work underneath.  The brainchild of this lovely idea is Miss Nock, our English Subject Leader.  Below is a selection of door designs along with the story, poem or piece of writing underneath. 

  

• A neighbourhood Christmas Carol Service at St Helen's Church on 19th December

  Mon 06 Dec 2021

  St Helen's Church on St Helen's Road is holding a Christmas Carol Service on Sunday 19th December.  The service will be held outside on the car park so the organisers have encouraged vehicle users to park on surrounding roads instead.  St Helen's Church is a venue which Greswold already have strong partnerships with.  Previously, Greswold's annual Harvest Festival 

  service was held at the church itself while the car park is one of the two locations offered to parents as a Park & Stride venue.  It would be lovely to show our support to a church that has done so much for Greswold Primary School in the past and present.  Everyone is welcome. 

  

• Christmas carpentry!!!

  Mon 06 Dec 2021

  You may have noticed some new festive editions outside the main office entrance recently.  Mr Cooper, our resident sculpture/carpenter/outdoor expert has rustled up these wonderful creations just in time for our Christmas Fayre.  Thank you Mr Cooper, they're amazing!  

  

• PTA Christmas decoration competition

  Wed 01 Dec 2021

  It was wonderful to receive so many impressively creative entries for our PTA Christmas decoration competition this week.  It has been such a difficult task to choose only one winner from each class.  The children will find out who the winners are in this Friday's certificate assembly.  Thank you so much for your participation and we look forward to using them to decorate the two school Christmas trees in preparation for this Saturday's PTA Christmas Fayre.
