Thank you to Gibson’s Martial Arts for coming to our school to give the whole school a taster session in Kickboxing. Primary 7/6 had a great time and we have a few of them thinking of joining a local club now.
Primary 7/6 have experienced some rugby coaching sessions in order to prepare them for their transition games at the High School during the transition week. On transition day one boy in particular was praised by the staff for the skill and talent he showed, well done Euian McWhir! well done to our girls, quite a few of them have discovered a new love for Rugby.
The whole school have experienced a dance taster session with Hannah Craig. Primary 7/6 were very opened mined and really enjoyed themselves. everyone had a huge smile on their face and enjoyed working together to create a finished piece.
In Primary 7/6 we had a pirate party to say goodbye and good luck to Miss McGuire. It was a great way to finish of a very interesting topic on Pirates. We wish her well with her class and probation year next session and thank her for all her hard work and amazing ideas.
Primary 7/6 experienced food tasting in our Health Week. Thank you to Mrs Irvine, Mrs Hendry, Mrs Woodhouse and Miss Benson for preparing a variety of treats for us to try. We commend Primary 7/6 for their positive  mindset to this task and for trying most things. Some foods were very popular like mango and some not so popular like rhubarb, although the faces pulled when eating it were the best! Lots of pupils discovered a new love for muscles and smoked mackerel and re kindled their love of some fruits and vegetables. Well done boys and girls.
What a beautiful day for Sports Day. Well done to our amazing Mrs Crow for organizing such a fun and active day. We started out with whole school races and finished with potted sports. Everyone got involved including our teachers and amazing parents. Well done to house Ballie for the most house points today. I wonder if it will put you in the lead now?
Extra well done to the pupils who were all cheering each other on and encouraging each other to try their best in all activities.
Primary 7/6 organised and ran a whole school Jump for Joy day. We raised money for the British Heart Foundation buy having a jump-a-thon. Each class in our generous school tagged in for a half hour jump. Thank you to the parents who came along and also has a go. We have raised a tremendous amount, over £700 so far and still counting. We will tally up the final amount this week and send off your amazing donations. We love our Greenrigg community.
