Matt Lockwood comes to visit

Leave a comment

Today we had a visit from professional footballer Matt Lockwood. He has played for lots of different teams during his career. : West Ham juniors, Leyton Orient, Colchester United, Nottingham forest and Dundee United.

He talked to us about working hard and not giving up when things get tough or change.

Some children from Primary 5,6 and 7 had a football session with him too.

We worked on our dribbling with both feet, defending and attacking skills and controlling the ball.

We then had a couple of games of football. Matt stopped us and gave us different tips for when we are playing.

We loved learning from him.

Curling at Braehead Arena

Leave a comment

On Wednesday 23rd November 40 P5-7 pupils from Greenrigg and Stoneyburn went to the Braehead Arena in Glasgow. We went to watch the European Curling Championships. We arrived at the arena at 11:30am so we could get settled before the men’s tournament that started at 12pm. We had a whole section of the stand to ourselves with an excellent view of the curling rink. We were given Scottish Flags to help us support and cheer for the Scottish team. We really enjoyed learning about curling and watching the championship. When Scotland were having their turn we made sure we cheered them on. Later on in the day we then had the women’s championship which started at 4pm. This time they were on a rink closer to us so we had a great view to cheer them on. The other spectators commented on how great it was to see us there supporting our Scotland teams. We had a great day out!

P1 and the JRSO team

Leave a comment

Today, the JRSO’s and JRSO Pupil Voice Group came to show us how to cross the road safely and speak to us about how important it is to wear bright colours when crossing the road, especially when it is dark.

We know to stand behind the kerb, look both ways, listen for any traffic, then cross if it is safe to. We know to cross in a straight line, walking (not running) and to keep looking both ways.

Challenge club – wind powered vehicles

1 Comment

Today we accepted the challenge to build a wind powered vehicle.

We could use any materials in the challenge club box and were allowed one pair of scissors and a metre of sellotape.

 

The winning vehicle would be the one that travelled the furthest by using wind.

We needed to think about different ways to join the materials together as we didn’t have a lot of tape as well as how the vehicle would move using wind.

 

We will continue to make our wind powered vehicles next week
