• Celebrating Success, Dreams and Goals

  Fri 17 Feb 2017

  In today's house point assembly the focus was on success. Mr Hornsey went through some of the successes Greswold's teams have had this half term - such as our Year 6 maths team coming second at the King Edward's final. Of course achieving success is not always easy and the path to get there is difficult. There are often lots of set backs on the way. Our house captains from Years 2 and 6 shared some of their successes and the steps they took to achieve them.

   

  Also in the assembly Mrs Woodcock celebrated the learning everyone has been doing in their Jigsaw lessons on the theme of 'Dreams and Goals'. Each class brought some of the work they have completed which will go into a special garden-themed display. We look forward now to next half-term's theme of 'Healthy Me'.

• Safer Internet Day 2017

  Tue 07 Feb 2017
  Today we have been thinking about how to keep safe online. Year 2 have been busy completing research into their own online habits including what type of apps and websites they use. It was also a great chance to use their data handling skills. In Year 6, pupils used the Safer Internet Day website and checked their online safety knowledge by completing the Safer Internet Day quiz. We will continue to post useful websites for parents via our Twitter feed @greswoldschool.
