St John Ogilvie Primary School

Good Morning everyone.

Today is International Nurses Day. 200 years ago today a pioneering lady was born who changed what is was to be a nurse and made huge improvements for the sick and injured resulting in the survival of a lot more people. Its an important thing to recognise especially with the NHS being so busy and important to helping those ill with coronavirus. I have added links to choose from some lovely nurse related posters to copy or colour and display in a window to say thanks to all  nurses.

Our next task is very exciting!  We are starting a new novel! (Can you tell how excited I am?)  The novel is called The Last Wolf and is written by Michael Morpurgo.  Today we are going to do some tasks just by looking at the cover and blurb.  There are two cover versions of this book:

The Last Wolf Cover 1

The Last Wolf Cover 2

Have a look at both cover pictures.  What do you think the story will be about?  What does the title mean, i.e.: the last wolf ever? The last wolf in a certain place? The last wolf in a queue? The last wolf to be photographed? Something else?  What clues do the two different covers give you?  Which cover appeals to you most and why?

Next, have a look at where the first part of the story is set (page 1 of task sheet) do you recognise the area?  What do you already know about this area?  Read the blurb (page 2).  The annotations (extra information) should help you understand it.  Look at the Impressions and Predictions sheet (page 3).  Complete the table in your jotter or directly in your Personal Learning Blog.

Enjoy your morning everyone!

Good Afternoon

RME

It is May and we remember Mary. Last year, we watched some stories on Holy Heroes about Apparitions of Mary. I have added a reminder of one of the appearances and a colour sheet. Can you create a comic strip about The Lady of Guadelupe? If you can’t print then just read the page and draw the boxes on a piece of paper.

IT Safety

Seeing as we are spending so much time online at the moment I thought it would be a good idea to review some digital safety guidelines.

Year 2 Internet safety challenge cards-2

Have a read through these and think about them, maybe discuss them with a family member. I will add the answers at 3pm. It might be a good idea to create a poster about staying safe.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

Good afternoon everyone!  I hope that you enjoyed the animation and writing task from this morning!  Here are your tasks for this afternoon:

Task 1 Health and Wellbeing – School Lunch Menu Review

Our cook has asked us for some help.  She would like to introduce a new red tray option (meat based) and a new blue tray option (vegetarian) to try and encourage our P1 children to eat more of their lunch and to try and include more vegetables if possible.  Your task is to come up with these meals.  Use your knowledge of the Eatwell plate to help you plan this.  You can use the template here or record this in your own way.

School Meal Planner

Can you also please complete this survey on School Meals which we have been asked to do by West Lothian Council.  It shouldn’t take too long.

Task 2 – RME

Last week we learned about the Holy Trinity.  Today  I want you to think about why it was important to have God on Earth in human form (Jesus).  Your task is to create a poster about Jesus, highlighting what his job was here on Earth.  Here are some of the things that he did:

•  Teaching humans to love each other
• Leading mankind
• Teaching people about loving God
• Being the “middle man” between God and mankind

Think also about the qualities that He showed and which made him so good at his “job”:  bravery; caring; loving; forgiving; a good leader.

You can create your poster using any media that you have (or use a computer design program).  Don’t forget to upload your work to your Personal Learning blog.

Good afternoon, boys and girls!

This afternoon’s WHOLE CLASS tasks are:

• Science

Today we are going to look further at our eyes and how they work. Look at the PowerPoint ‘Parts on an Eye’. Parts of an Eye

1. Label parts of the eye. The sense of sight

-Look out of a window or sit within your garden. What do you see? Get a bit of paper and draw a big eye, within the big eye, draw what you see.

• Music

Follow the link and sing along Old Joe Clark with Nycos:

This song is adapted from Singing Games & Rhymes for ages 9 to 99.

I hope you have lots of fun!
