• Year 2 Golf

  Wed 24 Jun 2015

  Children from Year 2 headed to Tudor Grange park in Solihull for a mini-golf tournament. It's another new event for Greswold and the children enjoyed a number of different golfing challenges. The weather was glorious and Mrs Howell was very proud of how sensibly the children took part in the activities. Perhaps the day will have inspired a few children to take up the sport. More pictures are available on the Extranet.

• Year 2 residential visit to Dunfield House

  Fri 05 Jun 2015
  Our Year 2 pupils spent two nights away from home at Dunfield House on a residential visit filled with creativity. During their stay, the children enjoyed music and art, in addition to making the most of the grounds and surrounding countryside. Mini-beasts was the theme for the visit and by the time they returned home the children had made sock puppet mini-beasts, sang mini-beast songs and even hunted for mini-beasts. There was also time to play games outside in the sunshine and take a dip in the pool. A great visit!
