This morning's House Point assemblies helped to sum up the schools' hard work around this half term's value of Success.

Helping others to achieve their targets, maintaining a positive attitude, having a go and breaking challenges down into small steps were all themes explored this term in assemblies and Jigsaw lessons. 

Mr Hornsey used the story of Miron Muslic, manager of Plymouth Argyle, who beat Liverpool in the FA Cup this weekend, as an inspiration for looking at what success actually means.

Muslic was a refugee at the age of nine, fleeing war torn Bosnia to travel to a new home.  The children realised that for Muslic, success wasn't beating Liverpool but was the culmination of years of overcoming challenges to get where he is today, thus emphasising small steps and retaining a positive attitude. 

The story is not too dissimilar to a number of pupils and their families we currently have here at Greswold. 

On other matters, well done to Y4 Nightingales and Y5 Oaks who achieved the best attendance for this half term and a special well done to Y1 Owls who achieved the most improved attendance this half term.

In terms of this year's House Point Leaderboard, both St George's and St Patrick's have scored 137 points so far, followed by St David's and St Andrew's.  However, we are only at the halfway point of the year so still plenty of time for things to change.
