Primary 5/4 Handball

Primary 5/4 took part in the Whitburn Cluster handball festival recently. Here are a few snaps from the event.

A big congratulations to Rafael Alvaro Primary 4, who was praised by all the staff members at the event, they were extremely impressed with his throwing and catching skills. He certainly seems to have no fear when playing and put everything into his performance.

Sophie Kay, Rafael Alvaro and James Wilson were chosen from each team to receive a medal for their performance in their teams.

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.

P5/4 Volleyball

P5/4 have started volleyball in our PE. Ryan thought it was ‘amazing and good fun’. Cian thought that it was ‘off the hook’. Tyler thought it was different from anything he had ever played. We had a few games today and we want to say a special well done in their sporting skills to; Ryan Duncan, Emma McDougall and Scott Lamont. The Primary 5s really challenged themselves by working out a way to change positions while playing.

This week we have been; buying red noses (a lot), enjoying Judo taster sessions (so much fun), talking about World Book Day and sharing our favorite stories, finding out more about King Henry VIII, litter picking in the playground, practicing singing  for our Easter Service, learning about fractions in our maths, learning about proper nouns in our writing and practicing for the Handball Festival next week.

 

Thank you to all the parents who have been sending pounds in for Red Nose Day, we made a graph out of ours to show the most popular noses.

Day for Change

Thank you so much for all your amazing donations for Day for Change. Your spare change has really made a difference and will help children in Syria and the Philippines whose lives have been effected by war and natural disasters. A massive congratulations to the whole school for raising a huge £264.33, although the pupils did bag up the coins so we are probably a few pennies out (this will be a fun trip to the bank)
