• PTA Summer Fayre

  Sat 14 Jul 2018
  We had a fantastic summer day for this year's PTA Summer Fayre with the sun shining all afternoon. There was a wild west theme to the event which featured performances from each year group and the Animated Dance clubs. The food and drink stands were busy all day long dishing out refreshments. We also had plenty of games to play including panning for gold, splat the rat and feed the cowboy. Many thanks to everyone who came along to support and to the PTA for organising a wonderful fayre. All the money raised will support children here at Greswold.
