Marvellous Meerkats Rock!

Recently, Marvellous Meerkats were tasked with planning and creating an advert to recruit a new member to Mr Big’s band. Fortunately, Meerkats were up for the challenge and created some fabulous adverts for a variety of different roles. I am sure Mr Big would be happy with our children’s creations.

Year 2 are Superheros

Year Two had an awesome time learning the story of Traction Man! They designed their own superhero and selected powers and an outfit, then created them. They also used a lasso to save damsels in distress in the playground.

Year 2 Have 'Naughty But Nice' Visitors

Year Two have had some unexpected visitors this week...two cheeky elves named Winston and Elfie! They have got up to mischief all around the classroom, but they want spread Christmas cheer instead of mischief. They have started a collection box for Kettering Food Bank and will be accepting Christmas treats and and long life food. A full list can be found by clicking the button below.

The donation box will be outside Year 2 every day next week.

"Terrific, Happy Online Learning"

Terrific Tigers and Happy Hyenas have worked very hard online this week! Here is a selection of their work. They learnt a new model text in Talk 4 Writing, designed their own space crafts in Science and even got to take part in a live workout with Adam Hale from Hale Training (thank you Adam!). They have enjoyed logging onto Teams every day to chat to their teachers and friends. They have even listened to stories and sang songs.

Busy Bees Making Patterns

In Maths Busy Bees have liked creating patterns using objects, coloured paper and cubes. As you can see from their homework all sorts of objects have been used to help with their understanding “it has to repeat!”.

Super Sharks make an Impression

In science, Super Sharks are learning about fossils. They made their own fossil impressions in clay.

September 2021 Reception Intake

If you have a child turning 4 years old between 1 September 2020 and 31 August 2021, you need to apply for their place to start in Reception in September 2021.

Greenfields Primary School and Nursery is now rated as ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted, and as with all outstanding schools the popularity of the school increases. With this in mind, we are expecting to be oversubscribed in our admissions for a place in our Reception class in September 2021. This means that we will not have enough places for the number of children applying and some families will be disappointed and not be allocated Greenfields. More information on admissions can be found on our website

The application process is now available on the Northamptonshire County Council website: click on the button below to apply for place at Greenfields. The closing date is Thursday 17:00hrs 15th January 2021.

If your child is currently attending our nursery and is due to start in our Reception next year, then we do not want you to be disappointed and miss out on a place. You must submit an application before the closing date as places are NOT automatically allocated.

Should you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact our school office.
