P6/5 Buddies in the Nursery
The P6/5 children have joined the nursery today to meet their new buddies. Over the year, the buddies will be involved in lots of different activities with the nursery children. They had lots of fun getting to know each other. 
Nursery Fun
Children have been enjoying their first term in the nursery and we have been making the most of the nice weather and getting outdoors as much as possible. Our newsletter has gone out and we will keep you up to date through the blog, newsletter and notice board of any events happening in the nursery. We have our nursery big book for you to look through in the nursery. You will find pictures and information about what your children enjoy and what they are learning inside the book. Parents are welcome to leave comments as well. 
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.
P7/6 What is Going on this Week!!!!
We have a very busy week ahead. Children are finalizing their Dragon Den topic and preparing for their presentations next week, they are working on imaginative writing and creating an adventure story with beginning, middle and end, they are helping out with some baking for the Fairtrade Event on Friday, we have a motivational speaker coming into see us on Thursday, an art teacher visiting us tomorrow afternoon from Stoneyburn and we are creating a wall display for the hall. As you can see, there is a lot happening and so children have been excused from written homework this week, although learning tables and practicing reading can still be done!!!! Hope to see you all on Friday and keep eyes peeled for pictures of the Dragon’s Den topic.
P7 Meet Stoneyburn for Messy Learning!
P7’s were given the opportunity to work with their peers at Stoneyburn Primary School last week. Their task was to work together to show the impact of humans on a coral reef. Here is how they got on.
P7/6 West Lothian College Challenge
P7/6 have been challenged to a Dragon’s Den competition with West Lothian College. Children have been set the task of making a business, creating a product and pricing, advertising and marketing their product. They will face a panel of judges at the end of this challenge and pitch their ideas. They will be competing for best primary prize and best overall prize when they pitch against students from the college. Watch this space for pictures and updates of how they are getting on.
Good Luck, Robbie!
P7/6 are saying goodbye to a member of our class today. We hope that Robbie has enjoyed his time with us as we have enjoyed getting to know him. We will miss you, Robbie. Keep in touch. Best wishes from P7/6, Miss Watson and Mrs Irvine and all of Greenrigg Primary School.
Robert Burns
Primary 7/6 are learning about the life of Robert Burns and why he is an important figure around the world. Â We are making fact files on his life, learning poems, creating our own poems and acting out scenes inspired by some of his famous poems. Children will be reciting their own laddies and lassie toasts at the Burn’s assembly tomorrow. We hope to see you there.
