• Greswold's Advent Calendar

  Mon 02 Dec 2019

  Last week the children were busy with their Winter-themed writing project and today Miss Nock revealed its purpose. The piece of writing that each class produced has been hidden behind a different door of a special Greswold advent calendar. The doors, which feature fantastic art by Year 6, will be removed each day in the run up to the end of term. So parents can enjoy the calendar we have put the pictures on the website and will be uploading the writing as each door is opening. It is great to think that all of the pupils in school have contributed to this advent calendar - a brilliant way to show our value of belonging.

• PTA Christmas Decoration Competition

  Mon 02 Dec 2019
  Well done to all the children of Greswold who entered our annual PTA Christmas Decoration competition.  It was incredibly difficult to judge just one winner from each class as the standard was again so high this year.  Nevertheless, the winners' creations can be viewed below with all entrees being used to decorate the wonderful Christmas trees in the lower and upper school halls, just in time for our Christmas Fayre.  As usual, thank you to all Greswold families for your continued support 

  

• 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. 

  

• School Football League update

  Thu 28 Nov 2019
  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.

• Our Autumn term writing event

  Mon 25 Nov 2019
  Today Miss Nock launched our whole-school writing event for the Autumn term. This time the theme is 'Winter' and members of Willows helped to set the scene by reading the story of Jack Frost. Each class will now be working on a collaborative piece of writing which will form part of a special Advent calendar. We look forward to seeing what each class comes up with.

  

• Year 5 at Solihull Sings

  Fri 22 Nov 2019

  Over the last few weeks, pupils from Year 5 have been learning songs and singing techniques from a specialist teacher from Solihull School. Today it was a chance for the children to show off what they have been learning by performing alongside pupils from Solihull School. The children did a great job - singing with lots of enthusiasm. Many thanks to Solihull School for this opportunity.

  

• Remembrance at Greswold
