Are you Ready for the World?
|
Children at Greenfields understand that learning is not defined by the content of their knowledge but combining how they learn with the skill of being able to use what they know; a sense of responsibility and a confidence in their own ability to succeed; essential qualities that will equip them for lifelong learning.
|
Our Ready for the World Awards are to recognise children who are showing that they are developing positive learning behaviours. Our Ready for the World Awards are progressive statements across the school that focus on four key learning behaviours linked to our school values; amazed, brave, original and bold.
|
Look how many children have been ready for the world this week!

Red Nose day 2021

We have been using the day to write a whole school story based upon the book "Maybe" by Kobi Yamada.

Down Syndrome Awareness Day
|
|
This Monday, (Monday 22nd March) we will be celebrating World Down
|
|
Syndrome Day. The theme of this very special day is "you decide" It is important that as a school we recognise that we are all unique individuals all with similarities and differences. To mark this day we are asking our children to wear mismatched socks. The reason we wear mismatched socks is because chromosomes look like socks, and people who have Down’s syndrome have an extra copy of chromosome 21.

Exciting News!
|
You will of course all remember that in September, with the help of the children, we changed our school logo and values statements.
|
I know that many parents have already started to think about next school year. Over the course of the next few weeks we will be bringing you some information about our new uniform for September. We hope that the changes we are bringing will make uniform much more affordable and readily available to all of our families.
|
In the meantime, if your child has out grown their green sweatshirt, please do not replace it; please do contact us as we have some that you can use. Alternatively, if you would like to buy a sweatshirt, we are asking parents to replace with a plain NAVY sweatshirt or cardigan.
|
|
Currently, Asda is stocking blue sweatshirts- 2 sweatshirts for £5.
