St John Ogilvie Primary School

Hello families of P1A!

We have had another action packed week of learning at school!  Here are our highlights from the Blue table: (Only 4 reporting this week due to absences)

Luke said the best part of his week was playtime with his friends!

Vinayak liked forming ‘m’, our phonic sound this week and was very careful to ensure he wrote down and up on the same line.  Well done Vinayak!

Ellie loved placing marshmallows on the shape that ‘m’ made and then getting to eat them!  This was followed by the ‘mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm’ sound.  Yummy!

Leah really liked looking at the contents of the Mystery Box!  The Mystery Box this week had a meerkat, a marble, a marble run piece, a mask, magnets and a capital and lower case m.  Next week, we will move on to learning the ‘c’ sound.

My highlight was when we went up to the woodlands.  The children had remembered how to keep safe up there and enjoyed working together to form the numbers we have been learning about so far in P1.

You will have noticed that some homework ideas were sent home this week for September.  Feel free to post any photos of your child’s super home learning on Seesaw.  I will access Seesaw at various points throughout the week.  Also, look out there for some photos I will post of learning experiences I may have captured of your child! ☺️📸

I hope you all have a lovely weekend and enjoy the photos below.

Hello Everyone, 

We have had a brilliant few weeks settling into Primary 2 and have had lots of fun learning new things! 

This week in Primary 2 

In maths we learnt about 2D shapes, we made shapes out of playdough, paint and even went outside into the woods to make shapes out of sticks! 

We started our topic ‘when our parents were young’ and created houses we thought our parents would have lived in when they were in primary 2! 

We had fun in Spanish learning about colours. 

We loved playing different games of tig in P.E 

Our Weekly Highlights 

Lincoln – Playing toilet tig in P.E. 

Bella – Going to the woodlands to make shapes. 

Eloran – Printing 2D shapes with paint. 

Niall – Starting our new topic and looking at photos of old technology. 

A huge well done to our hot chocolate winners Monika and Arire. Each week a child will be chosen for showing our school values. Congratulations! 

Have a great weekend, 

Primary 2 

What a week we have had in P1C.

We started learning our first sound in phonics, m. We learned how to write the letter in upper and lower case. We used our cutting skills to make m monsters and had lots of fun feeding m words to the red monster.

We continued our learning on numbers with 4 and 5. We looked at ordering numbers and learned the vocabulary before and after. We love number songs to practice counting.

We started looking at Our Senses, with this weeks focus being the sense of touch. We learned the vocabulary for describing how different materials feel – smooth, hard, bumpy, soft, rough etc.

This week we learned about the red Zone of Regulation, concentrating on angry and scared. We thought about situations that make us feel these emotions and drew black line drawings for them. We then tried to write a sentence to go with our picture.

We hope everyone has a lovely weekend and we look forward to another fun week in P1C!

This week we have been learning all about the letter ‘m’ and the common word ‘I’. We had lots of fun finding words beginning with m and trying to write the letter correctly. We also wrote a sentence using I and Mrs McKissack and Mrs McLaughlin came to our classroom to see our fantastic work. We have been making the letter m and I using different toys in the classroom and some people even used their snacks!

In Maths, we have been learning all about 4 and 5. On Friday, we learned how to log into Seesaw and we completed a task on there.

For Science and RE, we have been learning about our senses. This week we focussed on our sense of touch. We had to feel balloons and guess what was inside them by matching them to different pictures. We then spoke about how we can feel different textures and used materials to show each one.

Here are some of our personal highlights:

Freddie – I enjoyed learning about number 5.

Yahya – I enjoyed learning ‘I’.

Nevansh – I enjoyed using the blocks.

Penelope – I enjoyed drawing.

Rio – I enjoyed learning about number 5.

Well done to our Hot Chocolate winner this week. They have been very kind to others and have been working very hard on all their tasks.

Hello Everyone

We have worked very hard in P3 this week. In maths we continued working on numbers to 1000. We learned how to read and write 3 digit numbers and did lots of place value work. We started practising writing the numbers as words.

In literacy our new spelling sounds were a-e, ai and ay. We wrote super stories about Castles. We had lots of different types of castles, including, Haunted, Sparkly and Boat Castles. Our focus was to build good sentences using excellent adjectives.

We had fun exploring maps of Egypt and made our very own maps showing the important places, including the River Nile and Cairo.

Weekly Highlights

Martha, Shourya, Dhawan and Halle – We liked writing our Castle stories and working with 3 digit numbers.

Hallie, Elsie and Alfie – We liked making our maps of Egypt and learning about all of the places.

Zenith and Zoe – We enjoyed doing our new cursive hand writing.

Eden – I liked drawing my cruise ship.

Congratulations to Alfie, our hot chocolate winner. Well done Alfie!

Have a lovely weekend!

From all of P3
