St John Ogilvie Primary School

This week we learned about Roger the Rooster. We learned about his important job to make sure everyone wakes up in the morning. He told the little lost egg that he was going on a journey home and should remember EAT…SLEEP…LEARN… REPEAT. (IS)

We also learned that routine is very important and a good sleep will help us learn and grow. We gave the message to our little lost egg. (CC)

We have been practising finding numbers that are greater or than each other and finding nouns around the classroom and in our reading books. We have had our first week of having a book to read at home and a book to use in class. We also have been working on our spelling. We got our sumdog login details too.

Our hot choc at home person went over and above in trying to listen and show his learning. He tried hard to improve his handwriting and attempted everything he was asked to.

Have a great weekend and we will see you all on Wednesday.

Dear Parents,

It’s been another busy week with rainforest poems in writing, Qwizdom in maths, climate in our rainforest topic work and UN rights of a child in HWB.

The biggest highlight though was building a fire from scratch in our outdoor learning and cooking marshmallows over the flames.

Here are a few pictures.

Have a great September weekend!

This week we have been writing our numbers and letters on our new clipboards.  We also drew some pictures.

We have been working on our new sound ‘s’.  We had to listen for the sound at the beginning or the end.  In writing we wrote all about what Ogilvie Bear can see.  He was at the zoo.  We need to remember the full stop at the end.

This week we learned how to write 6 and 7 correctly. We need to keep practising.  We can show different ways of making 6 and 7 using our finger patterns.

In Science we learned about our sense of sight.  We learned about our eyes and some important words ‘pupil’ and ‘nerve’.  We know that the eyes have to work with our brain to see things the right way up.

In Outdoor Learning, we had a Scavenger Hunt to find things in the woodland.  Then we got to play with the mud kitchen.  We had woodland soup, salad and spaghetti.  Some people were playing with the sticks.

Here are some of our personal highlights:

Ollie – I liked going into the Woodland.

Minny-Lydi – I liked finding things.

Nathan – I liked playing with everybody.

Julia – I liked colouring in.

Ben – I liked the Scavenger Hunt.

Aiden G – I liked going to the Woodland.

Joseph – I liked drawing on the clip boards and the post it notes.

It’s been a busy week in primary 7.  On Wednesday we were in the woodland with Mrs Craig and we created a large picture of a rainforest.  Here are some photos of our rainforest:

We have also been learning more about measurement and have been converting between different units of measure.  We went out into the playground to do some large scale measuring of our own:

We wrote letters to Prime Minister Boris Johnson to persuade him to use his political powers and contacts to help stop deforestation of all rainforests around the world.  Do you think he will reply to us?

We have been learning about inference and trying to use logical thinking to glean information from pictures without making up information using our imaginations – it’s quite hard sticking to only what we can see!

We also had a fun time with Mrs McLaughlin discussing the difference between equality and equity and realising that fairness doesn’t actually mean we all get the same but rather we get what we need.

Have a lovely long weekend!

On Monday we learned about Symmetry with Mrs McLaughlin. In the afternoon we were learning about the different faiths and made religious symbols to celebrate the different faiths in our class.

On Tuesday, we started our day with our magic number and learned to be number detectives. Our Place Value knowledge is wonderful and we are beginning to complete more math challenges. Everyday we complete a spelling task and now we are starting to use describing bubbles to make our sentences even better. We carried out a listening game outdoors on Tuesday afternoon which was lots of fun.

On Wednesday afternoon we were practising our Spanish vocabulary then we made fans with Spanish greetings and emotions.

On Thursday we watched a video about Henry ” The Incredible Book Eating Boy” and we wrote excellent describing sentences. During our outdoor learning, one group went to the woods and made birds nests by using natural objects lying around. We could only use one hand because birds only use their beaks to build their nests. The other group had their turn to weed the school garden. It was sunny and warm so lots of fun working with our partners.

Today we did our Beat That, CLIC, Spelling and a listening game before going onto complete an emotions activity.

Our homework activities will begin on Monday the 28th of September. Mrs Miller will post them on Teams.  In the meantime we have just to make sure our passwords work for Prodigy, Sumdog, Glow and Studyladder.

Thankfully we have Monday and Tuesday to have a little break in the sunshine and we will all be back on Wednesday 23rd of September which is a very special day for two of our pupils.
