  Year 3 enjoyed a fantastic day of learning themed around their History topic of the Romans. The children got to dress up in historical clothing and looked great as Roman citizens. During the day there were lots of learning activities including trying Roman food, marching like Roman soldiers and even trying some archaeology. Thank you parents for your support for the day.

• Greswold celebrates School Games Gold and our Heathy School Award

  Fri 04 Oct 2019

  Greswold is committed to helping our pupils to lead a healthy lifestyle. Today in assembly, we welcomed Mrs McNeal who is Greswold's school advisor from Solihull Local Authority. She was visiting to present two awards that we are proud to have achieved.

   

  Greswold has been awarded a School Games Gold award for the second time for our participation in sporting competitions during the 2018-2019 academic year. Two children who represented Greswold at athletics events accepted the award with Miss Sumner who organises a lot of the sporting teams. We also received a Healthy Schools award for our work promoting our pupils' personal and social development including their physical and mental health. This award was received by Mrs Woodcock and two members of the School Council. Two great successes for Greswold.

  

• The first netball matches of the year

Well done to both teams.

  

• KS1 and KS2 meet Buddy

  Tue 01 Oct 2019

  This week we welcomed Clelia from the NSPCC who visited Greswold to talk to the children about the charity. She introduced Buddy, the NSPCC's mascot, who is a cuddly speech bubble. He encourages children to speak out when something is wrong and Clelia went through the charity can help children when they are in trouble. Children in Year 5 and Year 6 will be having follow up workshops from the NSPCC focusing on how to keep themselves safe in different situations.

   

  To support the important work undertaken by the NSPCC, each class will be taking part in Buddy's Workout. This workout will be completed in school during the children's PE lessons. Each child has brought home a sponsorship form so that they can be sponsored for completing their workout. All money raised will go straight to the NSPCC.

   

  Many thanks to Clelia for visiting Greswold and thank you in advance for everyone who is able to support this fundraising event.

  

• Severn Trent assembly

  Wed 18 Sep 2019

  Justin from Severn Trent visited Greswold to lead assemblies for Key Stages 1 and 2. He explained the process which brings water from rivers to people's taps and how it is changed from muddy, brown water into clear drinking water. Justin also encouraged our pupils to save water and gave practical ways they could achieve this at home. At the end of each assembly, the children could then pick how they were going to try to save water.

   

  Many thanks to Justin for visiting us. There are ideas for saving water on the Severn Trent website.

• Happy Roald Dahl Day

  Fri 13 Sep 2019 Mrs Beddow

  We have had a wonderful time in the library celebrating Roald Dahl Day today, on what would have been his 102nd birthday.  There was lots of reading, which I'm sure, would have made Roald Dahl a very happy man indeed!

  A very big thank you and special mention to the brave and enthusiastic Year 5 and 6 story-tellers who read outside on the KS1 playground this lunchtime.  They came back buzzing with excitement - exactly the kind of reading for pleasure spirit we love to encourage here at Greswold.  Well done to you all!

  Congratulations also to Sycamore, Chaffinches, Skylarks and Squirrels who were first to return the Roald Dahl Challenge and get a class point.
