We were thrilled to see so many happy faces on Monday morning, ready for Spring term. As always, we have lots of fun things planned for the children this half term and we are excited to get started.
|
|
|
|
What a start we've had ...
|
The children at Greenfields have started the Spring term with a bang. Not only have they been learning lots of new skills in maths, English and science; they've been exploring the great outdoors, getting to grips with atlases in Geography and continuing swimming lessons in year 4. We've also had whole class music lessons including a drum concert put on by our amazingly talented year 6 children! All this in a week; our children work so hard and as always we are very proud of them.

Remember if you've signed your child/children up to a club, the majority of them start next week. If you haven't and are still interested, we still have space in a few so take a look at the School Gateway or contact the school office.

For safety reasons, we do not allow the children to wear earrings in school, but can provide retainers where this is needed. If your child comes to school wearing earrings we will ask you to put retainers in the following day. If they have PE that day, we will put plasters over their ears for safety reasons.

It's sometimes hard to be your true self and not follow the crowd, but at Greenfields we believe that difference should be celebrated and the most important thing is that you have the confidence to be your true self no matter what.

Tacky the Penguin is a delightful story about being true to yourself--even when it means being a little different from everybody else.
|
|
Tacky likes to do splashy cannonballs and greet his friends with a loud, "What's happening?" His fellow penguins find his odd behavior somewhat bothersome.
|
|
But when fearsome poachers come to the iceberg hunting for penguins, Tacky's odd ways may be just the thing that saves the day

Warm Welcome

Every Monday morning at St Columbas Parish Church in Wideopen between 10am and 12pm, the Church hold a 'warm welcome'. This means that the Church is open to anyone who would like to go along for a hot drink and a scone or a piece of cake. There are craft activities to take part in or if you'd prefer you can simply read a newspaper or do a crossword in the quiet of the Church hall.
