Primary 6/7 had a fantastic morning spent with the ex service men, at the Lady Haig Poppy Factory. Children learned the significance of the poppy and how the money raised is used to help ex service men, woman and their families in times of need. They were able to chat with the ex service men working there and take part in making some poppies themselves. The men at the factory also made a wreath for our school, with our school badge, which we will be able to display in the school.
Each year, the school reports on how well we are doing. We value the partnership with parents and that is why it is important to share our standards and quality report with you.
Below are two files that you can download that inform you of the progress the school has made; a summary document and the school’s full standards and quality report. If you would like anything clarified, please contact the school via the usual channels.
Remember we are dressing up on Friday. What a better way to get excited about reading!
Children can also swap one of their unwanted books for another book.
Here is a list of after school clubs and lunch time clubs for term 1. 
CONGRATULATIONS to the staff, pupils and parents of Greenrigg Primary for achieving their Active Schools Silver Award. This was achieved over the year for promoting a wide range of sports and health activities from nursery to primary 7. We have worked so hard that we are the first school to achieve this level within the Whitburn cluster! Great work everyone!

On Tuesday we went to the science centre with primary 6/5 we all had fun and we were there all day. At the science center we went to see how our bodies work and because our class went my class knows how their bodies work.
Today our Health Week activities began with a healthy picnic at Polkemmet Country Park. The upper school were visited by Morrissa Morris from Healing Paths who talked the children through basic steps to meditation and relaxation techniques. This was followed by an interactive demonstration and explanation of the history of Tai Chi and Qigong by Stuart Brown.
Our lower school pupils spent the afternoon at Whitburn Swimming Pool where they were given an initial assessment followed by a fun session.
We would like to thank Morrissa, Stuart and Whitburn Xcite staff for making our day so enjoyable.
