On Wednesday 23rd April, Year 2 visited RHS Bridgewater to learn about the parts of a flowering plant and complete workshops to plant seeds and identify trees out in the gardens. This trip was provided free of charge by RHS Bridgewater Schools Team, including a travel bursary – an amazing opportunity for our 75 Year 2 children.
We have had a very busy last week of term in school, with our Easter Hat Competition and Easter Family Bingo.
Well done to everyone that entered the competition; your creativity was truly amazing and Mrs Dunkley had a very difficult job trying to choose a winner from each class. Here are the Class Winners. The overall prize went to Archie in Year 1.
This week, we held two Family Bingo Evenings. Tickets for the event sold out in two days and many children, parents and grandparents had lots of fun playing bingo together and enjoying refreshments provided by our PTA.
Thank you to our school community for supporting the evenings and thank you to all our staff and PTA members for their help at these events.
On Thursday 3rd April, Mrs Dixon’s children presented an excellent assembly about Brazil. They told us about life in Brazil, the main cities and tourist locations and really showed us their enthusiasm with their singing and samba dancing!
Well done to all the children and thank you to their family members, who were able to come along to watch and visit the classroom afterwards.
On Friday 28th March, Year 3 visited Quarry Bank Mill, where they learned more about what life was like for Victorian children.
Our Year 2 children have enjoyed their trip(s) to Staircase House, Stockport, where they learned more about The Great Fire Of London. Here they are ‘re-creating’ the events of 2nd September 1666, from Samuel Pepys’ diary.
On Friday, we celebrated World Down Syndrome Day and Red Nose Day. Our children wore non-uniform and ‘rocked their socks’ – all donations will be split equally to support both charities. Thank you to our school community for your support.
On Thursday 20th March, Year 5LL gave us a tour of Brazil in their excellent class assembly. All the children enjoyed presenting their learning to parents and carers, speaking clearly and confidently; they also treated us to a song and dance!
Thank you to those who were able to support our children by attending the assembly and staying for a while in the classroom to see their children’s recent learning and take part in activities.
Well done Miss Livesey’s children!
On Monday 17th March, we held a special assembly for Mrs Whitehead, to celebrate her retirement and thank her for all her work at Grosvenor Road Primary. Mrs Whitehead has worked in our school as a teaching assistant for almost 31 years, mainly in Key Stage 1 and the Early Years.
All our children made her a special class card (22 of them!) and these were presented in the assembly, alongside a gift and flowers from all the staff.
As Mrs Whitehead leaves Grosvenor Road to have a well-earned rest, we wish her all the very best for a long, happy and healthy retirement. THANK YOU MRS WHITEHEAD!
On Thursday, we enjoyed an excellent assembly by all the children in Year 4DC. They showed off all their recent learning about The Romans – with lots of information, singing and even a rap!
Well done to all the children – you really impressed us with your excellent presentation, showing confidence and projecting your voices so clearly.
Thank you to all parents/family members who were able to join us for the assembly and in the classroom afterwards.
On Friday, we celebrated Word Book Day by dressing up and taking part in various book-themed activities throughout the day.

This year, all our children also enjoyed taking part in storytelling workshops led by Claire Davies:
