• The Midland's Air Ambulance charity visit school, helping the children to see and learn life saving skills

  Tue 07 Nov 2023

  This week at Greswold, we have been delighted to welcome the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity to work with our Year 5 and 6 children to teach them the vital life skill of CPR (Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation).

   

  Across the two days, the children learnt about the work of the Midlands Air Ambulance including statistics on how many 'missions' they attend, as well as the level of fundraising they require to continue operating. The children also learnt how to deal with a catastrophic bleed using a bleeds kit or everyday items they could use if a kit is not nearby.

   

  Children in Year 5 as well as other KS2 children at lunchtime also had the chance to visit the 'pod', a mock up air ambulance helicopter to see the conditions in which critical care doctors, paramedics and pilots work to save people's lives. 

   

  Thank you to school staff for organising such an enjoyable learning experience, another example of how Greswold strives to enhance our curriculum offer with added purpose and context. 

   

   

  

• Our Language of the Month initiative, helping to celebrate Greswold's diversity

  Mon 06 Nov 2023

  Greswold's commitment to developing the language skills of our pupils as well as celebrating the school's wonderful diversity is being promoted through our initiative called Language of the Month.  

   

  Languages promoted so far this academic year have been French, Urdu and now, Bengali.  However this year, the children are really getting involved and sharing their expertise by helping to design the posters (displayed across school) and generating phrases which are also displayed in key areas.

   

  As a school, we have over 30 different first languages used by pupils and this initiative helps to demonstrate how wonderfully talented and unique our children and families really are! 

  

• Left over scooters are looking for their owners!

  Mon 06 Nov 2023

  There are a number of scooters that were left at school at the end of July which haven't been collected yet.  They have been put together and are situated by the cycle shelter behind the upper school hall.  Please feel free to collect yours at any time as scooters need homes too!!!

• Exciting changes taking place during half term!

  Wed 01 Nov 2023

  School may be closed for the half term holiday but there's a hive of activity both inside and outside of school!

   

  As well as the upper school hall being redecorated, the replacement for the old KS2 trim trail is currently being installed.  It's taking over the week to complete the work but the results will definitely be exciting for all pupils and staff alike!
