160 WOW badges given out this week!

Wed 09 Apr 2025

The Junior Travel Ambassadors have been very busy this week giving out Travel Tracker WOW badges to 160 pupils who have earnt one for travelling actively in March.

Overall, there were 3546 active journeys logged with only 89 non-active journeys being logged. It's really important for families to still log non-active journeys as it helps school to track our current targets for Sustainable Travel so thank you for your honesty. 98% of all journeys logged were active which is great.

A particular well done to Y6 Willows, Y5 Oaks and Y5 Sycamores where two-thirds of each class are engaging with the Travel Tracker.

Our school aim is for one third of our school community to interact with the Travel Tracker and March's figure was 25%, below the previous two or three months.

Hopefully, the good weather and the initiatives mapped out on our Sustainable Travel page, located in Parents on the website, will help families to ditch the car and push that engagement figure up further.

Year 5 inform and entertain us all through their Victorian performance

Wed 09 Apr 2025

This week, all year 5 pupils have been involved in performing their curriculum production, all about the Victorian Era, to the parent community. These two very impressive performances were preceded by undertaking dress rehearsals for the rest of the school and spending weeks learning the songs and their lines.........and what a performance it was!

Lots of character and personality were on show throughout, with staff working very creatively to adapt some of the scenes for a modern audience and to accommodate current events.

The singing, acting, dancing and teamwork on show was immense and every pupil represented their class, year group, school and family so well. Well done to everyone involved.

An early Easter present from the Renewal Church

Tue 08 Apr 2025

Yesterday, Dean and Beth from the Christian Renewal Church visited Greswold to take a Y1-6 assembly about the Christian festival of Easter. Not only that, but they brought a present with them too!

Through donations from their church, they were able to provide a chocolate Easter Egg to every single pupil in school, that's nearly 700 eggs! What a generous donation from our local community. Thank you for working in partnership with our school.

Tue 08 Apr 2025

This month's language of the month is Urdu. We have over 30 pupils in school who can speak Urdu and, after English, is Greswold's most popular first language. Thank you to our Language Leaders who have designed such an attractive and informative poster.

Greswold in action - English Schools' Football Week

Fri 04 Apr 2025

As part of English Schools' Football Week last week, families were invited to share photos of Greswold pupils playing football out of school hours.

Here at Greswold, we always like to celebrate the interests and achievements of our pupils in and out of school so it's a pleasure to present our wonderful children doing what they like to do best!

We also held a writing competition to see who could create a Greswold chant. This is Bryar's marvellous attempt:

Greswold, Greswold, hear us cheer,

We're the school that has no fear!

Kick it, pass it up the field,

We're the champions, never yield!

Greswold, Greswold, watch us go,

We're the best and we will show!

Blue and white, we're full of might,

Victory's ours, we'll fight, fight, fight!

Year 1 step back in time by visiting Warwick Castle!

Fri 04 Apr 2025

On Tuesday, Year 1 visited Warwick Castle as part of their History, English and D&T learning, and what a fabulous day they had too!

They visited the Conquerors' Fortress, the Kingmaker exhibition, the tower and its ramparts, the Great Hall and even watch an impressive falconry show.

They also got the chance to explore Zogland (linked to their English lessons) and the Horrible Histories Maze.

Thank you to the staff for organising such a memorable and relevant experience and thank you to the parent volunteers who also attended. Without this additional help, it would have been near impossible to arrange such a fabulous visit, so thank you again.

The Animal Rumble Grumble marks the return of the Y2 spring performance!

Fri 04 Apr 2025

This week marked the return of year 2's spring performance and what a treat it was for both pupils and families.

After performing for the rest of the school in rehearsals, the children gave two memorable performances to their families on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The children's acting, dancing, narrating and singing, in particular, were so good with many parents showing their admiration at the end, giving positive feedback to staff. .

Thank you to the year 2 staff for organising such a lovely experience and still being able to link it to the children's learning too!

Well done everyone.
