Primary 6/5 had a fun filled afternoon attending the Whitburn Cluster Basketball Festival. As usual all pupils attending showed a high standard of behaviour and sportsmanship! Well done Primary 6/5, you are credit to the school!
The Sports Committee were proud to accept a Game on Scotland plaque from our Active School Coordinator Ben Boatman. Mr Boatman nominated Greenrigg for the award for our continuing commitment to developing the legacy of the Commonwealth Games. We are now one of over 350 organisations worldwide who are entitled to display the prestigious plaque.
Below is the Sports Committee receiving their award from Mr Boatman.
Well done to all the boys and girls who competed in the recent Whitburn Cluster Netball Festival. We got off to an excellent start winning 3 out of 4 of our games. The boys and girls were a credit to the school demonstrating an excellent standard of behaviour and sportsmanship. We are looking forward to our next festival in February!
Meet our Junior Active Schools Coordinators-Nathan, Ellie, Ryan, Taylor, Harris and Elise. Together with Mrs Monahan, Mrs Bradley and Mr Boatman (Active Schools Coordinator) they have formed the Sports Committee and are working hard to make improvements to Physical Education in our school. This term they have been busy running a lunch time sports club for Primary 3 and 4 pupils and will be offering a sports club to Primary 1 and 2 pupils in term 3. They have also arranged for a score board to be put in the gym hall for use during class lessons and after school clubs. We will be applying for a school sport award which recognises excellence in physical education and school sport.

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!
