Chinese New Year Celebrations

Greenrigg Primary was visited by Hong Lok last Friday to celebrate the Chinese New Year. The children were given the opportunity to try on the lion costume and also practice keeping a beat with the big drum and the cymbals.

Day for Change

Thank you so much for all your amazing donations for Day for Change. Your spare change has really made a difference and will help children in Syria and the Philippines whose lives have been effected by war and natural disasters. A massive congratulations to the whole school for raising a huge £264.33, although the pupils did bag up the coins so we are probably a few pennies out (this will be a fun trip to the bank)

Another Busy Day for P7/6

Today P7/6 faced the Dragons of Dragon’s Den and the students of West Lothian College to take part in pitching their ideas for a new business. There was a lot to see and to hear and all groups performed extremely well. There was an overall winner between G.P.S and W.L.C and two group winners. Children have worked for weeks to come up with a product, create a business, make a business plan and deliver a pitch to sell their business to some very scary Dragons. I’m delighted to say that it was a G.P.S business which took the overall winner slot. They produced a high quality product which was well researched and pitched well. Their name was Tropicise and consisted of Nathan Hill, Lewis Galloway, Ethan Kellie, Jake Turner and PJ Swan. Well done boys! The G.P.S winner was Battle Monsters Crew (Brandon Aitken, Logan Nuttall, Cody Watson and John Kerr) Please take the time to look at our photos. Lots of confident individuals.

Big well done from Mrs Monahan, you all represented your school so proudly. You all had great team spirit and played excellently. I was so nervous for you all and loved cheering you on. I was very impressed they way you spoke to the other teams and were making new friends.
