Looking forward to seeing as many families as possible at the PTA Sponsored Walk on Sunday 11th October at 11am.
Wear your onesies or fancy dress or just come along casual…. and have fun raising money for our school.
Our wish list:
– sound and lighting system for the school hall
– listening centre for our youngest children in Nursery, P1, 2 and 3
We all supported Jeans for Genes look how smart we look.
Well done to our Prize Winners…

We are learning about dinosaurs. Today we have learnt the T-Rex is a meat-eating dinosaur and uses it’s sharp claws and teeth to eat. We also know that Tyrannosaurus Rex means tyrant lizard. It looks like Abigail is going to be eaten by a T-Rex! Luca and Sam painted a T-Rex for the classroom display.
Here we are in our P2 classroom with our new friend Szymon who has joined the class. Szymon likes his new school, he said everyone has made him feel very happy.
The Greenrigg Girls Football team played their first game tonight against Livingston Village. The sun was shining and the girls said they had great fun. They didn’t even mind that we got beat 5-0 never mind girls, you were great and full of team spirit. Thank you to Donna Sanderson for volunteering her time to come with me on the bus, the girls and I really appreciate your help and fantastic cheering us on! Thank you to the Livingston Village girls and their coach for the hospitality and refreshments, we will hopefully see you again.
Ellie McDougall was named woman of the match for her excellent work as first striker, then defender and then a fantastic goalkeeper – those were some impressive saves Ellie. Our Greenrigg Girls have no fear.
We are all proud of you
Mrs Monahan
Thank you Donna for these excellent pictures, you are a star!
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:
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.
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!)
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.
