Another super week at Greasley. Once again, the children are working very hard and the children are inspired by their new summer term topics. The children are engaged with their learning based on the following summer term topics:
EYFS:Mini-beasts
Year 1:Deadly 60
Year 2:The World of Roald Dahl
Year 3:Buildings
Year 4:Into the wild
Year 5:World War 2
Year 6:Problematic Plastic
The week started with Year 3 visiting Brackenhurst to experience a day as tribal hunter-gatherers. They went back in time to 2000BC for a stimulating and hands-on outdoors experience. They learnt what life was like in prehistoric Britain as a tribe moving into a new settlement. They learnt what it was like to build shelters, use tools, make animal pens to keep their animals safe at night, practise cave painting skills, how to warn off the spirits and develop orienteering skills. They all had a super day and loved their experiences. We were proud of their behaviour and attitudes and this has enhanced their understanding of the Stone-Age.
Currently, I am so proud of the year 2 and 6 teams, who are all working so hard towards their SATs. The children are all very ‘on it’ and keep persevering and pushing themselves. It’s great to see and I know they will all try their very best and reach their potential.
Well, we are back to cold and wintery weather, but have a super weekend and see you all again next week.

Greasley hosted Larkfields, in the semi final of the league cup.
The game kicked off, on a very warm night, and both sides played with great passion and enthusiasm.
George Moore made a couple of good saves early on and both William Earley and Matthew Salisbury kept the defence very tight.
The game was very even in the first half with some great play from both sides. The first goal was scored by Larkfields after a very clever lob over the home keeper.
The second half began with Greasley on the attack and after several chances they deservedly equalised through Matthew Salisbury who picked the ball up on the edge of the Larkfields box and beat the goalkeeper with a great strike.
Greasley continued to have most of the play but the game finished 1-1 at full time.
Extra time of 5 minutes each way was played but there were very few chances to win the game. This meant that penalties would decide the result. Each team would take 3 penalties.
George Moore saved the first penalty, but, unfortunately, the Larkfields keeper also saved our first penalty. The away keeper then produced an outstanding save from Jacob Brewster's shot by diving to his right to keep out a blistering drive. Larkfields then scored their last 2 penalties to win the game. It was a great semi final that was probably worthy of the final.
I would normally announce a man of the match but I would honestly say that everyone that played in that game was outstanding.
I would like to thank Sandra for her performance as referee and all the support that was given to the players.
Regards
Glenn Chambers coach

Wow…what a brilliant start to the first week of the summer term; the sun was shining and the children came back ready and rearing to go. Their attitude to their learning was brilliant this week and everyone came back with enthusiasm and drive…including our brilliant team.
The sun has been lovely this week, but very hot. Please remember to put sun tan cream on your child in a morning and provide them with a hat and water bottle. Thank you.
On Thursday evening, I was very proud to watch the school football team play against my old school, Larkfields Junior School. The team played exceptionally well and they really 'held their own'. It was 1-1 at full time. This then led to penalties and unfortunately, we lost 2-1. What a great battle they held and I was very pleased to be able to watch them with pride.
Next week, I would like to confirm some dates for summer fairs, sports days and much more so keep your eyes and ears peeled.
What a brilliant end to the first week of the summer term. Have a great sunny weekend and see you all soon.
Warm regards,
