• This summer's reading challenge launched by Solihull Core Library

  Mon 01 Jul 2024

  This morning, Alan from the Core Central Library came to visit Greswold to promote this summer's reading challenge.

   

  All the children have to do is register at your local Solihull library from Saturday 13th July to take part.  The challenges finished on the 7th September. 

   

  This year's theme is Marvellous Makers with the children needing to read only six books throughout the summer to win a certificate, some stickers, a medal and a free swimming pass. 

   

  Alan also told the children about lots of events happening at Solihull libraries this summer called Solidays.

• Have you ever wondered how butter is made? Reception children can tell you!

  Mon 01 Jul 2024

  Mr Hornsey was treated to an absolute feast yesterday after he was invited to Reception to watch them add the finishing touches to their lessons on a class book they'd been recently reading.  

   

  Using the story of the Little Red Hen, the children had listened very carefully and worked really hard to make their own bread rolls which were absolutely magnificent.  However today, their final job was to make the butter to spread on their rolls.

   

  Each class were taught how butter was made and then each child got a chance to turn cream into butter by doing lots of vigorous shaking to separate the butter from the buttermilk. 

   

  The children then spread their butte onto the rolls and tasted their finished products.  Mr Hornsey tasted bread rolls and butter from each of the three classes just to be fair!!!!!!

   

  A wonderfully engaging experience for the children and very typical of how EYFS staff weave together different high level learning opportunities simply from storybooks.
