Natalie brought in her baby box to share with us. It is full of all the things she had when she was born. We could see how much she has grown. We enjoyed seeing all the different items.

Pirate homework challenge
Sam, Natalie and Stephanie have completed their homework challenge to make a pirate with movable arms and legs. They are fantastic. John said they look cute. Poppy-Grace said they look good. Abigail said they look amazing. Well done! We can’t wait to see more pirates in P1.
P1 health topic
Kayla’s mum has just had a baby boy called Cooper. They both came to visit us in class as part of our health topic. We asked lots of questions. David asked if the baby came out with his clothes on?Mum said no, he didn’t have any clothes on. We could see how tiny he is and how much we have all grown. We can all do lots more than Cooper can. Louisa said Copper can’t go on a trampoline yet! Scot said he can’t talk yet. Abigail said he can’t walk yet. Cate said he can’t ride a bike!
Playmaker Award – JASCs
The JASCs (Junior Active Schools Co-ordinators) took part in training last week with Ben Boatman and pupils from Stoneyburn. The training is called the Playmaker Award. This is a leadership course to promote confidence and leadership within the school.
Our JASCs
They loved the training, Ellie said it gave her confidence, Elise said she learned how to encourage others and Ryan enjoyed taking part in all the competitive games.
The JASCs have some challenges to undertake in school over the next few terms, amazing opportunities such as:
- Leading warm ups and small sessions during their class and other classes PE lessons
- Helping to run after school club sporting sessions
- officiate games
- lead activities in the playground
- lead or help out at a sports day/health week event
- attending sports committee meetings and making suggestions and implementing changes to ensure pupils are engaging in sporting success
Well done boys and girls we had excellent feedback from Miss Benson on your fabulous effort and sportsmanship, Elise Hastie in particular received praise for her game she created and how she delivered it to the group.
Thank you to Ben Boatman for this opportunity it is a truly fantastic opportunity for the school and our staff couldn’t be prouder of the JASCs.
Staff Netball League
A huge congratulations to the ladies of Greenrigg Primary who took part in the first staff netball league. Although two teams only participated we had a lot of fun (which of course resulted in aches and pains). We played Polkemmet Primary School at Whitburn Community Center this week.
Congratualtions to Polkemmet on their victory and we will see them again next term (or we will dress pupils up like us)
Well done to Mrs Croser (and her goals), Mrs Bradley, Mrs Woodhouse, Mrs Crow, Mrs Berginis, Mrs Monahan and Mrs Millar (who fore-fitted her high heels for trainers to be part of the team, very impressive!)
Football Festival
I would like to say a massive congratulation to our school football team. I was so proud of how they played at the festival today. All the team worked together to make sure they were passing the ball and holding their positions. We were undefeated in our games and we drew all the way today with Stoneyburn but were beaten in our final game 1-0, therefore we came second in the league table. Thank you to Ben Boatman for refereeing and the fantastic silver medals. We have really enjoyed being part of the football festival.
Mrs Monahan
Greenrigg did themselves proud all season. Congratulations to Stoneyburn who won and congratulations to Longridge who play an excellent game of football.
Certificate of Merit
Stephanie has been awarded a Certificate of Merit for her dancing. Well done to Stephanie!
