Dear Parents,

Here’s a quick update of our learning as we start our final term at St. John Ogilvie PS!

In PE we have started fitness and athletics which will run for this term. On Monday we completed a Bleep Test and we will do that every few weeks to measure and hopefully see progress in our stamina levels. On Wednesday we worked on Running for Athletics, with a few games and them some relays.

We are writing Narratives at the moment so on Wednesday we wrote our own imaginative stories though we had some story starters if we needed an idea to get us started. Next week we will be writing about UFOs so on Friday, for Outdoor Learning, we took a walk to the UFO landing site up at Dechmont.

For maths we have now finished our work on long division and started a new approach to Problem Solving where we worked in trios to solve the problems. We worked on graphing tied to our Topic creating line graphs for temperatures in Edinburgh and The Amazon.

In RME the Confirmands have continued on their journey towards their Confirmation and on Friday we had our weekly prayer service based on Philippians 4:4.

Have a great weekend,

Mr McGurn and Primary 7

This week’s winner of Hot Chocolate at Home for going Over and Above was Inaya, though she doesn’t know yet as we were a little late getting back from Dechmont – she’ll get her prize on Monday.
