• International Day of Peace

  Thu 21 Sep 2023

  Today, the school council joined three members of our local Rotary Club at our Peace Pole for a special assembly to mark International Day of Peace. The UN International Day of Peace started in 1981 and its purpose is to provide a globally shared date for all humanity to commit to peace above all differences and to contribute to building a culture of peace. The children reflected on the meaning of peace and how it involves understanding each other and working together to find solutions. 

  

• A Successful Start

  Mon 11 Sep 2023

  In key stage assemblies this morning we celebrated the classes with the highest attendance for the first week back. Congratulations to Dragonflies who were our winners for EYFS and KS1 with 99.1%. Congratulations to our KS2 winners, Robins, who managed the perfect start to the year with 100%!

   

  Who will be our winners next week?

  

• Where's the trim trail gone? Watch this space.....

  Mon 11 Sep 2023

  Pupils and parents alike may have noticed that the KS2 trim trail has disappeared over the summer.  Don't worry, it's soon to be replaced by something new, purposeful and perfect for children to use during lessons and at lunchtime.  Staff are very keen to use it too!

   

  The children are desperate to know what it will be and have been very creative with their guesses, however the suspense will have to go on a little longer as the new installation won't take place until the October half term so........watch this space......

  

• KS1 classrooms undergo well deserved window makeover!

  Mon 11 Sep 2023

  School would like to pass on its enormous thanks to Mr Chater and Mr Hindley for all of their hard work and determination in ensuring the installation of the new windows in all KS1 classrooms was finished on time and ready for the new academic year to start. 

   

  A great deal of time and effort over the last few months has gone into the planning, quoting and construction processes and now we have an end product which is not only smart and pleasing to the eye but also energy efficient. 

   

  It perfectly contributes to Greswold's ongoing vision and desire to develop and maintain a learning environment which allows everyone to achieve their potential and a place we can be very proud of and grateful for. 

  

• We love learning!

  Fri 08 Sep 2023

  Take a look at these photos from some of our classes engaged in their learning first thing on Thursday morning. Most children (and staff) were so focused that they didn't even see Mrs Scott popping in. It was a pleasing to see all our BRICKS values being demonstrated across the school.

  

• A great first week back

  Fri 08 Sep 2023

  Despite the heat, it has been a fabulous start to a new school year at Greswold. Mrs Scott was very proud this morning when awarding the first Star Pupils of the Year for reasons including showing our BRICKS values and demonstrating Belonging. She also awarded extra classpoints to the following year groups: 

  Year 1 for making smart choices about their behaviour at lunchtime by being good role models in the hall and playing on their new playground.

  The Den for taking pride in their learniing by being the first to share their new learning with me

  Year 2 for looking smart, especially when moving around school.

  Year 3 for knowing who to go to for help and being excited to be part of the juniors.

  Year 4 for being in the right place at the right time and keeping their cloakrooms so tidy

  Year 5 for making smart choices about their behaviour when moving around school

  Year 6 for looking after themselves and others by saying good morning, checking in on others and showing excitement and pride in being selected as playleaders.

• Showcasing Design and Technology at Greswold!

  Mon 24 Jul 2023

  Following on from a previous Latest News story back in autumn, check out some updated photos below of Design and Technology learning across the school. 

   

  The learning gained from these experiences has been so valuable and has helped children to adopt roles such as architects, designers, engineers and chefs. 

   

  Throughout their time at Greswold, children will experience food technology, learning around structures, mechanisms and electrical systems along with textiles and controlling products using computing.
