St John Ogilvie Primary School

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.

Another fantastic week in primary 6!

Maths: This week we have continued to work on addition, subtraction and multiplication. We enjoyed working with a partner to play a game called cops and robbers using addition and subtraction strategies. We showed our determination during our problem solving activity by completing a 9 by 9 Sudoku quiz, we didn’t give up until we solved it! We also enjoyed our Big Math and tried our best to beat our own scores from the previous week.

Literacy: Our focus this week was to successfully up-level sentences. We used a range of openers, vocabulary, joiners and punctuation to improve our writing.  We completed a variety of active spelling activities and this helped us to remember our spelling patterns. We have started to read ‘Gansta Granny’ By  David Walliams as our class novel and found words to add to our word boost lists.

IDL: In order to improve our knowledge of volcanoes further we completed a comprehension activity about Volcanoes of the World. We also created 3D models of a volcano which help to show how each layer is made up.

Art: We created vibrant pictures of volcanoes using paint, oil pastels and chalk pastels. Here are some examples of our work below we would like to share with you.

Over and above: Well done to our over and above winner Niamh! Keep up the hard work.

Have a great weekend,

Mrs Roy

It has been another very busy week in Primary 1B.

This week we have been looking at number 5 and forming all our numbers to five correctly using the correct starting point.

We have been learning about the letter c and the sound it makes.  We know c is a yellow sound and it is a short bouncy sound.  The sound comes from the back of our throat.  We are able to recall words that start with c and also words that end with c.  We made beautiful crowns and practiced forming the letter.

In writing this week we wrote a sentence about what we can do.  Mrs Russell and Mrs Meikle were very proud of us.  We are trying to remember to use finger spaces and a full stop at the end of our sentence to show we are finished.

This week we had our first outdoor learning session we really enjoyed having the opportunity to practice writing our numbers and letters with chalk.

We have started to learn Spanish.  We can say hello and goodbye in Spanish.  We also found Spain on a map and discussed how far away it is from Scotland.  We also looked at the Spanish flag.  We can’t wait to learn some new words next week.

We have had lots of fun this week.
