Hello P2A families!

Here are the learning highlights of the week from the Green Table:

Nathan enjoyed making a ‘Save our Oceans’ poster with a partner.  Wednesday was ‘World Oceans Day!’  We have been learning about what we can do to help take care of life below water (Global Goal 14).

Emily liked learning about Mother Teresa and how she helped the sick.  We learned how she won the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition for all her good works.  Mother Teresa was called ‘Agnes’ at birth.  We designed a medal for her.

Ben enjoyed our continued learning about The Zones of Regulation.  We did some ‘Whale Breathing (linked to World Oceans Day) to help us get to the Green Zone.

Isabel said her favourite part of this week were the maths stations we had to revise addition.

Lucas loved our learning about digestion.  We learned that food gives us the energy we need to move.  Once it goes into our mouth, it goes on a long journey, a bit like a rollercoaster ride.  We watched an AMAZING video showing food inside a stomach.  We then made our own stomachs using a small bag as the stomach, crackers for the food and lemonade to act as the digestive juices.  It looked “disgusting” according to our little learners!

Kayla liked working in the Area with a group independently.  They completed a comprehension activity called ‘Getting Dressed’.

Mrs Devlin’s highlight was our note-taking lesson.  The children listened to lots of information about different sea creatures and had to make notes.  We heard about penguins, sharks, narwhals and octopuses.

Congratulations to Ben, our Hot Chocolate award winner this week!

We also want to wish Ollie luck as he travels to America next week for the U.S. Kids World Championship Golf competition!  What an achievement!  We, at St John Ogilvie, are all so proud of him and look forward to hearing all about his trip! 🏌️‍♂️🏆🇺🇸
