St John Ogilvie Primary School

Hey Awesome Ogilvies!  As you know, we usually celebrate our children who have gone “over and above” in school with Milkshake Monday and, in the past, Hot Choc Friday.  I am nominating every single one of you for an “over and above” reward today for the way that you have adapted to learning from home and got stuck into the tasks that your teachers have set for you.  You might not have milkshake or hot chocolate in the house but talk to your parents about a special treat that you can have.  If you want to, take a picture of you enjoying it and send it to our school email wlstjohnogilvie-ps@westlothian.org.uk or tweet it to the school @WLStJohnOgilvie (remember not to include your name if you are tweeting).  Enjoy your well earned “over and above” treat!

Love Mrs McKissack and Mrs Egan x

Good Morning Primary 1. We hope you enjoy your tasks today and you all enjoy your Easter Holidays too.

Good morning, P4B!

Today is Friday and Friday is day for………… Spelling assessment and Big Maths, beat that!

For the Spelling assessment:

1 – Please ask someone to dictate the spelling words for this week to you.

2 – Mark you’re your words against the spelling grid I sent on Monday.

3- Share your scores! That would be nice!

After, it’s time for Big Maths!

1. First, copy the sums on the picture of the level you have been working at to your jotter/or print it out.
2. Second,I will try to insert the sound files from Big Maths, but if they don’t work, just use any phone to time it!asking  a very nice person close to you, to time you while you do it – giving you only the time written on the sheets, of course!
3. Third, ask that very nice person to help you correct it and write down your score! No cheating allowed!
4. Share your score if you feel like it. You don’t have to!

I will try to insert the sound files from Big Maths, but if they don’t work, just use any phone to time it!

Easter time related activities for today

1. Because in a bit more than a week it will be Easter, I would really like you to think about its true meaning and understand why we value and celebrate it.

So, I am sending you The Easter story cards for you to put them in the correct order. You don’t need to print them, just read them after watching the Easter Story  powerpoint and then write down the sentences in each of the cards in the right order.

The Learning intention will be knowing everything about the Easter story and being able to pass it on to your families. If you think you’ve done that, then I’m sure you’ve been very successful with your learning! You can even record yourself doing it and share it on Teams!

2. I will attach some Easter time colouring pages but if you can’t print them, try to draw them just by carefully looking at them and see how accurate you can be!

Then, colour them in and have some Easter fun!

3. I will also attach a Easter wordsearch – if you can’t print it, just use the words in the box to make your own wordsearch in your jotters and then try to find the words!

I wish a very Happy, Holy and safe Easter to all of you and your Families!

Good Morning Primary 7, Friday again and nearly the holidays.  We know it will be strange and that for some of you, you will be missing trips away with your family but it’s very important to remember to follow the advice and to stay safe.

This morning we have a couple of tasks for you:

RE – Making your own Cross for Palm Sunday

https://ucatholic.com/blog/palm-cross-instructions/

How To Make A Palm Cross PDF

Obviously you wont have a palm leaf lying about the house but perhaps you can find something to use instead – use a bit of paper 24cm long and 2 cm wide or use your 30 mins outdoor exercise to see if you can find something suitable in nearby woods – only with permission from a parent and following social distancing rules.

Do your best to come up with something, then using this follow the instructions (PDF and video) to create your own Palm Sunday Cross.

Science & Technology – Egg Drop Day Challenge

Egg Drop Day Challenge PDF

Egg Drop Day Challenge WORD

You are being asked to design and build a protective casing for a raw egg.  We all know how delicate eggs are so using materials that you can find from around the house (and have permission to use) you should build a protective shell(haha) that will stop your egg from being smashed when dropped.  Start at 1 meter and keep dropping your egg until it no longer survives – who can successfully save their egg from the tallest drop.  Record your planning and results on the PDF/WORD document and if you also want to take pictures or videos you can post all of your work to your Personal Learning Blogs.

We can’t wait to see your results and the eggstraordinary ideas you come up with to protect your eggs! It’s very eggciting!

Have a great Easter P7, stay safe and we’ll see you soon.,

Mr McGurn & Mrs McLaughlin
