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.
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.
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.
Thank you to Gibson’s Martial Arts for coming to our school to give the whole school a taster session in Kickboxing. Primary 7/6 had a great time and we have a few of them thinking of joining a local club now.
Primary 7/6 have experienced some rugby coaching sessions in order to prepare them for their transition games at the High School during the transition week. On transition day one boy in particular was praised by the staff for the skill and talent he showed, well done Euian McWhir! well done to our girls, quite a few of them have discovered a new love for Rugby.
The whole school have experienced a dance taster session with Hannah Craig. Primary 7/6 were very opened mined and really enjoyed themselves. everyone had a huge smile on their face and enjoyed working together to create a finished piece.
Primary 7/6 experienced food tasting in our Health Week. Thank you to Mrs Irvine, Mrs Hendry, Mrs Woodhouse and Miss Benson for preparing a variety of treats for us to try. We commend Primary 7/6 for their positive  mindset to this task and for trying most things. Some foods were very popular like mango and some not so popular like rhubarb, although the faces pulled when eating it were the best! Lots of pupils discovered a new love for muscles and smoked mackerel and re kindled their love of some fruits and vegetables. Well done boys and girls.
Primary 7/6 organised and ran a whole school Jump for Joy day. We raised money for the British Heart Foundation buy having a jump-a-thon. Each class in our generous school tagged in for a half hour jump. Thank you to the parents who came along and also has a go. We have raised a tremendous amount, over £700 so far and still counting. We will tally up the final amount this week and send off your amazing donations. We love our Greenrigg community.
