St David's demonstrate perfectly our value of success this term
Wed 16 Feb 2022Today marked our third House Point assembly of this academic year. Every element of the assembly brilliantly reflected how successful our school has been this term. Looking back over the events and stories from the Latest News on our school website was the perfect way to show how individual pupils, classes, year groups, sports' teams, the PTA and the whole school community had worked together, helped each other, overcome adversity, persevered, and on occasion took little steps at a time to eventually become successful in whatever they set out to achieve.
A special well done to Hedgehogs in year 1 who attained the best attendance for this half term and congratulations to Sparrows in year 3 who remain the best attended class this academic year.
However, a special mention to the children who represent St David's house team across the school. At the end of last term, they were challenged by Mr Hornsey to push themselves a little harder in order to gain more house points and help their house improve and get closer to the rest of the houses on the leader board. Not only have they achieved that but they even managed to gain the most amount of points of all four houses this half term. Congratulations children and keep up the successful work.

PCSO Hendy on the case!
Mon 14 Feb 2022Pupils, parents, families and local residents alike will be all very aware by now just how much time Greswold dedicates to promoting active and sustainable travel amongst the wider school community. We're also very lucky to be able to work in partnership with West Midlands Police who help us to reiterate our expectations amongst parents and the general public at drop off and pick up times.
Our very friendly and personable PCSO Hendy is a wonderful resource for reminding vehicle users, in particular, of parking restrictions, turning engines off when parked and ensuring drop offs don't take place on Zig Zags or double yellow lines, all of which help to keep our school and local community safe. Thank you PCSO Hendy and keep up the great work!

Even more Greswold success.....this time at the South Solihull Sportshall Athletics competition.
Fri 11 Feb 2022This morning marked the first time the Coventry, Solihull and Warwickshire Sportshall Athletics event has taken place in two years and, as always, Greswold took a hardworking and hopeful team to the qualifying event against stiff opposition at Tudor Grange Tennis Centre.
The standard was exceptional and the Greswold pupils had to be exceedingly motivated, had to push themselves really hard and use all of their athletic skills to be in contention of achieving a place in the area final. Not only did they achieve this but they even won their qualifying heat with a superb team performance.
Result:
1st: Greswold - 682 points
2nd: Dorridge - 672
3rd: St Alphege - 664
4th: Knowle - 638
5th: Shirley Heath - 576
6th: Bentley Heath - 556
7th: Sharman's Cross - 546
8th: Berkswell - 500
The South Solihull area final will be on the morning of Friday 11th March, plenty of time for more practise! Well done children, you were fabulous.

King Edwards' School Birmingham Year 4 Maths Challenge Final winners....................Greswold Primary!
Fri 11 Feb 2022A huge congratulations to the four year 4 children who attended the final of the King Edward's School Maths Challenge competition on Wednesday. King Edward's School in Birmingham hosts nearly 190 schools in two Maths competitions each year so it's hugely impressive for the team to make the finals in the first place.
However, they worked incredibly well together, solving some very complex Maths problems, which resulted in a superb 1st place win for Greswold, the first Maths Final which has been held since 2019. The children represented Greswold beautifully, upholding our values throughout - I am incredibly proud.

Innovative, creative and informative curriculum work to celebrate
Fri 11 Feb 2022A wonderfully innovative and creative piece of work emerged from year 6 this week which really needed to be celebrated. As you can see below, a map of Europe designed by Seb in Cedars using Lego completed at home was brought in and shared with classmates after being inspired by his recent Geography topic. Well done Seb.
Every classroom and the school hall now contains a map of the World which helps the children to see the connections between what they're learning and it's locality on our planet. The Geography curriculum display board is another example of this lovely and purposeful idea. On the subject of corridor display boards, why not take a few moments to view some other subject curriculum boards from around school, especially considering families haven't been able to see the inside of school for quite some time now. There's always a lot going on at Greswold!!!

Where has this appeared from? A massive thank you to the PTA.
Fri 11 Feb 2022Parents may have noticed a fabulous new climbing structure has appeared on the Early Years' outdoor area this week and the whole school community should be thanked as a result. It has been school's intention to install a structure to help develop the gross motor skills of both the Nursery and Reception children for some time now and, as a result of the wonderful fundraising work of the Greswold PTA, it has now arrived! Thank you to everyone who has had a helping hand in making this happen. The children absolutely adore it!
