Our Work of Art at Hobby Craft!
Our beautiful canvas is now being displayed at Hobby Craft at Livingston Retail Park.
The whole school, pupils and staff, worked together to create this magnificent piece of work by printing their thumb print and turning it into their face!
Thank you to Mrs Scott for donating the canvas and supporting us through this project.
Earth Hour 2013
Our Eco team lead Greenrigg Primary School pupils and staff through Earth Hour on Friday.
The whole school spent an hour on Friday Morning, between 8:45am and 9:45am in darkness to raise awareness about the need to take action on climate change.
Primary 7 took a greater challenge in switching off all the electricity in their classroom!
The official Earth Hour 2013 is being held on March 23, 2013 from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
Saturday Chick Update
The chicks have settled in well and April has been getting used to her weekend visitors and she is being gentle with them. The chick that hatched on Friday is all fluffed up and quite happy in beside the others now. Here’s a photo from breakfast time:
Chick News – Friday
At 2 clock today another chick hatched and its name is Super Chick and primary 1 named it. Primary 6/5 named thier chick Buttons and primary 7 named there chick Spring.
There are only three more eggs to hatch!
Thursday chick update
Nearly all of the chicks are hatched ,there are only 4 more eggs to hatch. Today we helped to clean the brooder and we held the chicks and they where chirping. They were very happy to see us and were comfortable enough to fall asleeep as we held them, a part from Allison’s who was a bit jumpy. We think they are very cute and fluffy.

Wednesday Chick Watch!
Our first chick hatched last night and we are trying to think of a name for it.Can you help us please! The chick is starting to become fluffy and is a light yellow colour. One of the eggs has got a crack in the shell so it may hatch over night. If you want to see the chicks tonight go on to Glow at home.

Our chicks have arrived!
Our 11 chick eggs arrived safely yesterday and are currently snuggled up in their incubator at the front office.
The programme designed by Living Eggs (see www.livingeggs.co.uk for more information) aims to promote awe and wonder across the curriculum at all levels. Over the next two weeks the children from nursery to primary 7 will be learning about the life cycle of a chicken by a variety of class work and will provide the children an opportunity to see chicks actually hatching from their eggs.
By next week the chicks will be old enough to be held and handling sessions will be made available to children during school hours and to parents during Parents’ Evening. If you can’t wait until then, or you would like to follow the progress and watch the chicks hatch LIVE! a link is available through our Glow page. You will find a tab on the main page called “LIVE Chicken Hatching”.
We would like to thank the PTA for donating money to the school and making this exciting school project possible.
P1 Snow Day Activities
Snow Day 2013
Well everyone, it’s a bit later than we may have expected but 2013 has seen its first snow day. Hopefully everyone will have a safe day. Don’t forget there are activities to keep you busy on GLOW and the school blog. Perhaps you could visit your class page and leave a comment on what you have been doing today. Or even better, email the school a photo and we will upload it to GLOW for everyone else to see.
