Primary 2

1 Comment

The boys and girls in Primary 2 have had an exciting first week settling into their new class. We have been learning about numbers to 100, counting forwards and backwards, writing and sequencing numbers. We have been practising our handwriting and writing about our summer holiday adventures! For the first four weeks of term we are lucky enough to have Miss Angus, a student teacher, in our class helping out. This term we will be learning about dinosaurs as our class topic.

Our PE days will be Thursday and Friday. All children should keep a PE kit in school and take this home at the end of term to be washed.  Could I also ask parents if they could send in a small Tupperware box or tin for reading words. Reading and spelling homework will commence on Monday 4th September.  Homework will be issued on a Monday and should be handed in on a Thursday.  More details regarding homework will be in homework diaries.

Sports day 2017

Leave a comment

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.

Jump for Joy

Leave a comment

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.

“Right of the Month”

1 Comment

As a school we are working towards Level 2 for Rights respecting Schools. We have decided to introduce a “right” to focus on each month.

Article 12

You have the right to give your opinion, and for your adults to take it seriously

 This article says we have the right to have our say and help make decisions.

In school we watch Newsround and share our opinions and discuss recent news. We make sure we listen to others opinions, take them on board and respect them.

Learning to give our opinions now will help us to be more confident making decisions in the near future.

There are a lot of things in our school that lots of pupils agree and disagree on so we let every pupil say what they think.

Things you can do at home:

* Watch CBBC Newsround

* Look at newspapers with your parents

* Discuss news with your family and give your opinions
