• 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'.

  

• EAL ambassadors

• 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.

  

• Sportshall Athletics

  Thu 02 Feb 2017
  Two teams of children from years 5 and 6 today represented Greswold at the Sportshall Athletics competition at Lode Heath School. The teams did fantastically well, with our B team finishing fourth and the A team getting through to the South Solihull finals later this term. Well done!

  

• Buddy's Big Workout...

  Thu 02 Feb 2017

  Since the NSPCC led assemblies and workshops Greswold about keeping safe, our pupils have been busy taking part in 'Buddy's Big Workout'. Named after Buddy, the charity's mascot, the workout challenge was completed in PE lessons. Our children tried different fitness activities such as circuit training or indoor athletics. Lots of children were also then sponsored for taking part. 

   

  A huge thank you to all our families who were able to support the event. Greswold raised a fantastic £2400 which will all go to supporting the important work of the NSPCC.

  

• PTA Movie Night

  Mon 30 Jan 2017
  Pupils from Year 1 to 6 enjoyed the film 'The Secret Life of Pets' at this term's movie night. The children enjoyed the adventures of a dog called Max and all the other animals he meets. There was also a snack and drink to add to the cinema experience. Thanks to the PTA for organising the evening.
