Handball

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.

Term 1 highlights p7/6

What a fantastic first term we have had in Primary 7/6

  • Literacy: poetry for Mrs Denholm, recipe writing and fictional stories based on our scientist creation. Our free writing for homework has shown lots of super ideas and just how creative you all are.
  • Maths: place value, multiplying, rounding and decimals. We looked at where to find real evidence of maths so to realise why and where we will use the skills we learn.
  • expressive arts: we have been working with our drama and music teachers learning new skills. We have been painting, making collages, perspective drawings, painting skills and some art through our science.
  • working with others: we have been great Primary 1 buddies, walking to the harvest assembly, playing outside with buddies and most recently we taught primary 2 how to make their own 3D dinosaurs.
  • keeping healthy: we have been bucket filling and learning how to have a growth mindset. We have been very active with Mrs Crow and Scott Woodhouse has been teaching us Futsal. We have also been squeezing in a few daily miles. Well done to our boys for competing in this years cross country. Well done also to the many boys and girls in the class who have been away representing the school in the Football, Netball and Handball teams.

Primary 5/4 news

This week Primary 5/4 have been enjoying getting ready for We Will Rock You. We also enjoyed having Mr Bain in who is teaching us pitch and rhythm in our music.

The Primary 4’s had their swimming assessment this week, we had lots of fun and Eeman can’t wait to go back to the swimming pool. Please take advantage of the lessons if they were offered to your child.

Finally, some of the P5/4’s took part in the first Handball Championships at Deans Community High, we played against 11 competing schools council wide. I was so proud of the children for their teamwork and sportsmanship. You boys and girls made Greenrigg proud, you are excellent role models.
