After School Club 100% Attendance

At Greenside we are encouraging children to achieve their 60 active minutes each day. One way we are doing this is to reward everyone who attends all their after school clubs with a certificate. Everyone who gets a certificate also gets an entry into a prize draw . This terms winners won a Stockport County Family Ticket and a ten pound voucher for Sky High Adventure in Droylsden. Well Done for fantastic commitment to sport.

After starting with tag rugby and hockey in the autumn term we have now moved on to practising hockey ahead of the competition in February.

Multi-skills- Year 1 and 2

Every Thursday our year 1 and 2 children have chance to take part in our fantastic multi-skills sessions that are led by year 5 and 6 children.
