A Half Term Full of Adventure!
|
|
Sponsored walk, drama, art, outdoors, trips, Halloween, animals, working together, learning, adventure ...
|
|
This half term our children have been truly amazing and have embraced everything that has been put in front of them with enthusiasm, resilience and most importantly with smiles on their faces.
|
|
|
Resilience, bikes, baking, public transport, trying new things, learning new things, family, adventure ...
|
|
We have had a fantastic half term full of exciting opportunities and adventure. It has been wonderful to watch the children embracing new things and challenging themselves; we couldn't have asked for anything more.
|
We can't wait to see what next half term has waiting for us.

Spooktacular fun!
The children and staff had great fun today dressing up in their Halloween fancy dress costumes.
|
We are looking forward to a spook-tacular evening at the GFPTA Halloween Disco. Children will spend 30 minutes in the disco area and 30 minutes playing Halloween games and Halloween crafts. We can't wait to see the children's dance moves!

Reading recommendation
But the woods aren't all they seem - and are there even any wolves left? Mini Grey re-imagines the classic Little Red Riding Hood fable in an entirely new way. Can Little Red help her new friends in need and recover the wild days of the past?
This is a powerful, moving and funny picture book which will have children and adults revisiting its exquisite pages time and time again, and discussing the important message it holds.

Communication with staff
|
Please be reminded that after 6pm, class teachers will not respond to emails or requests for information on their year group emails, on Seesaw or Google classroom. Many of our staff are in school incredibly early in the morning, and so it is really important that they have time to rest and recuperate in the evening.
|
If you need to tell us about an urgent issue, please email:
|
tellthehead@greenfieldsprimary.org.uk
|
Thank you for you cooperation and understanding.

Parent Pay - school lunches
|
Payment for School Lunches
|
We have been contacted by a number of families unsure about the new North Tyneside payment system for school lunches. Joinos has been replaced by parentpay.
|
We would urge all of our parents to register with parentpay by emailing: parentpay@northtyneside.gov.uk (even if you are entitled to free school meals / universal infant free school meals) as this is not only an online payment facility but an important form of communication with the catering team at the Local Authority.
|
We are also aware in the roll out of this new system, some parents have received letters requesting payment.
|
If you have any questions or queries relating to this please email parentpay@northtyneside.gov.uk where a member of the Local Authority catering team will be able to help you.
