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.

Netball League

Can you tell by their faces that they did well! We are so proud of the boys and girls in the netball team. At the netball league today they came first! They got a medal each, a cup to keep for the year and a trophy to keep for the school. Josie has also been asked to join the Wildcats Netball team which is a huge achievement.

Well done to the whole team, Mrs Irvine who has been coaching them and a big thank you to Miss Benson who accompanied them today.

Staff Netball League

A huge congratulations to the ladies of Greenrigg Primary who took part in the first staff netball league. Although two teams only participated we had a lot of fun (which of course resulted in aches and pains). We played Polkemmet Primary School at Whitburn Community Center this week.

Congratualtions to Polkemmet on their victory and we will see them again next term (or we will dress pupils up like us)

Well done to Mrs Croser (and her goals), Mrs Bradley, Mrs Woodhouse, Mrs Crow, Mrs Berginis, Mrs Monahan and Mrs Millar (who fore-fitted her high heels for trainers to be part of the team, very impressive!)

Netball Festival

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!
