Here are some photos of us on the first day, we are so excited! Some of us felt very nervous about coming back to school but we have had fun settling in and making new friends.

Well done to our schools Handball team. They have been a great inspiration in our school, working well as a team and motivating others. The team took part in the Whitburn cluster Handball League and finished second. This then secured Greenrigg a place in the Handball National Primary Championships with Whitdale Primary School. Well done to all pupils who participated, we were so proud of your sportsmanship, attitude and teamwork.
Well done to our Primary 4’s who participated with great sportsmanship in the Whitburn cluster Benchball Festival. They represented our school with great pride and excellent behaviour. They cheered each other on and had a great time.
This last few weeks we have been getting organised for the school show Peter Pan. The children were a massive success and had a great time. With a lovely surprise at the end where the Primary 7’s were given their surprise leavers hoodies. It’s been lovely having the Primary 7’s back after their week at the Academy for transition. We have been enjoying the weather and having PE outdoors when ever we get the chance. Well done also to the Primary 6’s who did an excellent job of creating the scenery for the school show, it was amazing.
Enjoying  Futsal training outdoors.

This is the poem Primary 7/6 created with Poet Julie Anna Douglas. We focused on the wind turbines outside our classroom. We created a poem to celebrate the uniqueness of where we live. Each pupil contributed a word to the poem and created beautiful art work to complement it. We have also been using lots of activities that Julie taught our school to do further poem writing and creating different styles of poetry.
Thank you to Marv from Destination Judo who came in to give the whole school excellent taster sessions. Our pupils always look forward to him coming and we have such a great time. Primary 7/6 had a great time and some of our pupils have joined the local Judo club.
Wel done to the members of the school football team. During their club this year, Miss Benson has allocated two or three pupils each week have planned and coached the sessions. They are given time together to research and try out new warm ups and skills activities. The pupils of the team have then been transferring what they learn to their own class PE lessons. Well done. Here we have a picture of Elise Hastie carrying out her session.
Ross from Zoolab came to visit the school with some interesting friends. Primary 7/6 experiences the work shop Habitats and Adaptations, we have been learning about the Habitats and how to care for them. How humans have an impact on animals habitats and our actions can force animals to adapt to survive.
