St John Ogilvie Primary School

Good morning everyone,

This morning we are going to continue our work using money in our maths.  Begin with the number of the day: 52,693 then do as much of the starter slide as you can:

Maths Starter 27-05-20

There are two main tasks.  The first sheet is subtraction of amounts of money then there is a set of Problem Solving questions.  You will need the Problem Solving Prices sheet to complete the Problem Solving questions:

Our next task for this morning is a topic one.  This tells of a short lived third attempt at a Jacobite Rising in 1719 and contains a copy of a handwritten letter from James VII/II to his loyal subject, John Cameron of Lochiel, who was exiled (banished or forced to live outside his home country) as punishment for supporting the Jacobite cause.  Try reading the letter before you read the translation, I think it is amazingly easy to read considering it was written almost exactly 300 years ago (last week).  You won’t be able to do all the activities as they are meant to be done as a class but think about the questions they ask, how do you think John Cameron would feel about his exile and receiving this letter from his King?  Write a reply to King James as if you were John Cameron.

Remember to upload your work to your Personal Learning Blog.  You shouldn’t need to print any of these sheets out.

Have a good morning!

Have a lovely morning

Good Morning P4!

This morning’s tasks are:

Handwriting

Using cursive writing, write 3 sentences about:

1. Something I have enjoyed learning about this week and why?
2. Something I have enjoyed doing this week and why?
3. How I have been feeling this week.

Literacy

Today, we are going to be thinking about ‘Paragraphs’.

1. Look at the Paragraph PPT to find out what a paragraph is and when they are used. Paragraphs PPT
2. Choose a fruit or a vegetable and write a description of it using paragraphs, considering size, shape, colour and texture. Remember a paragraph is used for each new piece of information. I would also like to see at least a couple of sentences for each paragraph and use of descriptive language.

Maths

Today we are going to use our knowledge of fractions/division to work out sums to colour in and find a picture.

Remember a fraction is made up with a ‘Numerator’ (the top part of a fraction and tells us how many pieces we have) and a ‘Denominator’ (the bottom part of a fraction that shows how many it is cut into).  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orI0oL9_q9c

Tuesday 26.5.20 Afternoon Post

Good Afternoon everyone.

Some French this afternoon. Two videos to choose from to learn about parts of the body.

Using the vocabulary cards to practice or make your own to help you. Can you complete the labelling activity about the face. French-Body-Parts-Powerpoint

French-Body-Parts-Vocabulary cards                    French-Parts of the Face labelling

Finally can you use the French words to describe what parts of your body you are using during todays Virtual Sports?

Have fun.

Good afternoon everyone, I hope you’ve had an enjoyable morning.

Our tasks this afternoon are Art and Virtual Sports’Day.  Mrs Lafferty has posted her activity for you all on the main school blog.  Please remember to email any photos or videos to the main school email address so Mrs Lafferty can include your score for your house points.

Our art task is looking at geometric shapes and creating a monochrome (one colour) picture.  Here are some examples:

You don’t need to use these shapes though, you can choose as complex or as simple a shape as you’d like.  It works really well in paint but coloured pencils or crayons will also give you an excellent effect, felt tip pens might be a bit harder unless you have lots of shades of the same colour.

This is another version you can try if you’d like a bit more of a challenge:

We’re looking forward to seeing all your creations – lots of photos please.
