Pupils and staff of Greenrigg Primary School kicked off their Health Week yesterday by participating in a whole school hour long Zumbathon thanks to Joanna Stroud, Livingston Zumba instructor. The pupils then cheered on the school netball team, The Greenrigg Rockets, as they battled it out against the staff team. To end their day the staff and pupils were treated to a variety of healthy foods as part of a tasting session and completed their day with learning some martial arts techniques, including a weapons demonstration, thanks to the Kuk Sool Won group from Bathgate. A fun day was had by all.
Best Decorated Premises 2013
Congratulations to the staff and children who decorated our school gates for the Greenrigg, Harthill and Eastfield Gala Day. Their hard work paid off as not only did our school gates look beautiful, but it also scooped up 2nd prize!
A big thank you goes to Mrs Denholm for her time in organising this.
Rotary Quiz 2013
Congratulations to Laibah, Jamie and Lewis who represented the school at the 2013 Rotary Quiz.
The Greenrigg PS team, made up of primary 5, 6 and 7 pupils, has been studying hard for this year’s Rotary Quiz held at Polkemmet Primary School. Their hard work paid off when they came in 4th place.
Hello from the chicks!
The chicks have sent us a postcard to say that they are having a great time at Ryan’s farm.
They have lost all of their fluffy feathers and now look more like adult chickens.
Thank you to Ryan and Ms Cunningham for looking after the chicks so well.

Our beautiful canvas is now being displayed at Hobby Craft at Livingston Retail Park.
The whole school, pupils and staff, worked together to create this magnificent piece of work by printing their thumb print and turning it into their face!
