• IMPORTANT - Snow Closure - 2/3/18

  Thu 01 Mar 2018

  Dear parents,

   

  The local area is already treacherous and overnight freezing temperatures are expected to make conditions worse. Many parents and staff experienced lengthy and unsafe journeys home. Therefore, after discussion with other local schools, we have made the difficult decision to close Greswold Primary School tomorrow (Friday 2 March 2018). We expect to be open on Monday 5 March. Please check our website and our Twitter account (@greswoldschool) for further updates.

   

  Yours sincerely

   

  Mrs K Scott

  Headteacher

  

• Year 5 visit to Blists Hil

  Wed 28 Feb 2018
  Pupils in Year 5 stepped back in time to the Victorian era when they visited Blists Hill Museum near Telford. The children got to dress up in period clothes and experience what life was like in a Victorian school. Lessons were rather different in the 1800s, with slates and chalks being the most modern technology in the classrooms.

  

• Sports Hall Athletics Final

  Wed 28 Feb 2018
  Our Sports Hall Athletics team took part in the final of the competition at North Solihull Sports Centre. It was a slightly different line up as Year 5 were away on an educational visit. The team gave it their all and did a great job, ending up coming in 5th place. Well done and thanks to all the parents who supported today.

  

• Fairtrade Fortnight

  Fri 16 Feb 2018
  Mrs Cooper's Eco Club have been busy at lunchtimes making a chocolate bar character out of recycled materials. The character is part of Solihull's Fairtrade Trail around the town centre from 17 February to 4 March. Members of the club visited the mayor of Solihull to reveal their chocolate character. Trail sheets are available from Touchwood Information Desk and The Core library. Why not try the trail over half term and take a selfie with our character!

• Key Stage 1 Gymnastics Competition

  Tue 13 Feb 2018
  Pupils from Year 2 took part in a School Games gymnastics competition at Lode Heath School. Over the past few weeks the children had been learning two sequences demonstrating floor work and using a bench. This was the first time that Greswold has taken part in the competition and the our two teams performed their sequences in front of a packed hall of parents.
