• Year 4 brass concert

  Fri 14 Dec 2018

  Since September, our Year 4 pupils have been learning to play brass instruments. Each week, Mr Bull and Mr Jones have been teaching the children and developing their musical skills. Year 4 got to perform to the rest of Key Stage 2 in a special assembly. As well as some of the songs they have been learning, they also snuck in a seasonal number as well. You can watch the performance here.

  

• PTA Christmas Fayre

  Our wonderful PTA did a great job organising Greswold's Christmas fayre. There was lots to do with games, face painting, raffles, hot food and even Santa in a new grotto. Children from Year 2 performed some festive songs with Mrs Jellicoe to get everyone into the festive spirit. A big thank you to everyone who supported the event through donations, helping to run the event or by attending. All the money raised goes back to supporting the pupils here at Greswold.

  Well done to all the children who entered this year's Christmas tree decoration competition. The kitchen staff had a really difficult job deciding the winners.

• Year 2 visit St Alphege Church

  Fri 30 Nov 2018

  Year 2 had a fine winter morning for their walk to St Alphege Church. They visited the church in Solihull to go on a 'journey to the stable' and learn more about the Christmas story. On their journey around the church the children met an inn keeper, shepherds, Mary and Joseph. There was even a real baby in the manger. Many thanks to Linda and the team at St Alphege for making us feel so welcome and to all the parents who came with us on the visit.

• PTA Movie Nights

  Thu 22 Nov 2018
  Pupils from Key Stage 1 came together to watch a film at this term's PTA Movie Night. This time the film was Peter Rabbit and the children enjoyed the modern take on Beatrix Potter's classic tale. There was lots of laughter at the slapstick comedy and the children also got a snack to make the experience a real treat. Thank you to the PTA for organising the event and the movie night or Key Stage 2 last week. All money raised will go back into supporting projects here at Greswold.

  

• Year 3 Roman Day

  Pupils from Year 3 brought their learning about the Romans to life with a special themed day. Children came dressed up in Roman costumes and got to try lots of exciting learning activities including being archeologists, tasting Roman food and trying out some military tactics. A great day. Many thanks parents for all the effort that went into creating the costumes.
