Week Ending 7th December 2018
This week, the following children have received a Head Teacher’s Award:
Scarlett – Year 4 – for Wonder and curiosity. Last week, she told the class about the endangered orangutangs and she is going to be writing to Teresa May to ask for help. Amazing!
Emma – Year 6 – For writing a beautifully presented recount of the water cycle! The adventures of Rosie the Raindrop was full of information as well as humour.
Positive praise home is as follows:
On Wednesday, I found out about more musical talent and success across school from a child in year 5. Mrs Deb Fox emailed to say that Catherine has passed her Grade 1 musical theory with distinction. She achieved a whopping 96% and we are all very proud of her. She has also passed her Grade 2 piano exam with distinction.
Attendance figures this week are as follows:
1st place goes to Orange 1 for 98.6% attendance.
2nd place goes to Orange 2 for 98.3% attendance.
3rd place goes to Violet 1 for 98.2% attendance.
Week Ending 7th December 2018
Welcome to another week at Greasley Beauvale Primary School. A busy one and a week of preparations and hard work.
The week started with Grandparents afternoon, where we opened our doors to over 300 grandparents. This was a fantastic event and one where the adults saw what we truly are about at Greasley Beauvale Primary School. There was an array of different activities around a Christmas theme and there was truly a festive feel. Thank you to everyone who came and enjoyed sharing their time with the children during their Christmassy fun!
Throughout the week, I have heard Christmas concerts being practised and it has warmed my heart at this special time of year. The children, and staff, have worked incredibly hard and they all sound wonderful. I can’t wait to watch the EYFS and KS1 production throughout next week, and I look forward to welcoming you all in at this festive time of year to see what the children have been producing.
Thursday after school we had the annual Christmas Fair. I was so immensely grateful to the Greasley Hub who have worked tirelessly over the past few months to organise such a successful event. The stalls were well run, the chocolate tombola was a massive success and the raffle was extremely busy. Santa and his little elf met a lot of children and said afterwards what lovely children we have. It truly was a great festive feel, which was also created by our very own Greasley choir. I had a great time and look forward to sharing the news with you on how much we raised.
Have a great weekend everyone and I look forward already to another super week next week
Warm regards,
Michelle Bates
Head Teacher
