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.

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.
