St John Ogilvie Primary School

Good Afternoon Primary 7

Hope you enjoyed getting to do a bit of Easter fun in your maths work this morning – here are the answers for you Mild, Spicy and Hot tasks. They are all in one document today so you will have to double check you have the correct one.

Easter Answers

This Sunday is Palm Sunday which signifies that start of Holy Week, sadly this year we will not be able to celebrate the final days of Lent and Easter as we normally would but it is important we still try to learn lots about it.

Below is a PowerPoint that information about the Station of the Cross, go through each Station to learn what it is about. In churches they always have beautiful displays showing the Stations, can you use you artistic skills to recreate each station? You can do this is by sketching and colouring or if you can be more inventive then why not give it a go!

There is also a music activity this afternoon, here is a song all about Easter, can you listen to it and learn it – perhaps, with permission you could record your voice singing it and upload onto your personal learning blog.

Hope you enjoy your afternoon and the rest of the evening when it comes.

Good Afternoon P4B

Fantastic work carried out this morning. This afternoon’s tasks are again around the story ‘Unplugged’.

1. Data Handling/Fractions task – I would like you to access the Word document I have attached named ‘Screen Time’.

You will find a graph that shows you the percentage of screen media time of children aged 0-8 years. Using the graph, I would like you to analyse the data by answering the first set of questions under the graph. Please answer questions in your jotter.

The second set of questions link to the work we have been doing in class on fractions. These questions will require you to use your knowledge of division to work out the fraction of a number. Remember the ‘Denominator’ (bottom number) is how many the number is cut into and the ‘Numerator’ (top number) is how many parts of the number we have. There are mild and hot questions for this task.

I have also uploaded 2 extension tasks – Mild Fractions and Hot Fractions

2. I would like you to be like Blip. For at least an hour, let’s try to put technology down and discover playing games and having fun. Put on your favourite song and dance to the music. Play a fun game (not on technology!). Learn something new, whether it be to bake something (under adult supervision), try out a new exercise or learn a new skill. Sit down somewhere cosy and read a book. I bet afterwards you will feel energised.

Hi, hope you enjoyed writing a Cinquain poem. I look forward to reading them on your Learning Profiles.

It’s Wellbeing Wednesday and we are on Monster number 9. Have a look at the slide and then poster and journal activity are also there.

Have a lovely afternoon. See you tomorrow.

Good morning. Welcome to April. This morning we are going to learn about a kind of poem called a Cinquain. Here is a Powerpoint to explain what it is and how to create one. There are 3 tasks in the PP. A ‘shared’ one, A ‘partner’ one and an ‘independent’. You can choose which you prefer , or if you want the challenge, you can do more than one.

Ext task. Copy your poem out really beautifully and decorate it.    Writing a cinquain-poem PP

For some spelling practice, check out Sumdog, if you have time.

See you back here at 12.15pm for some numeracy and Wellbeing Wednesday activities.

Good morning P4B

I hope you are all well and have been enjoying your tasks so far this week.

Today we are going to carry out a number of activities linked to a book.

1. I would like you to access and listen to the story ‘Unplugged’ by Steve Antony https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCrUUKklZUw
2. Whole Class – I would like you to draw a picture of one of the activities Blip carried out on his adventure adding some speech bubbles of what you think he might be saying. Remember when we write speech bubbles we do not use speech marks or ‘said Blip’. Underneath your picture you can then write what Blip said using speech marks. Here is an example:

   

   3. Unplugged is all about Blip who spends all day plugged into her computer, playing games and having fun. But when there is a POWER CUT, Blip goes down the stairs and out the front door, where she discovers playing games and having fun . . . OUTSIDE. Isn’t it wonderful to be UNPLUGGED?

   Group 1 – (Those who work with myself for writing)
   -I would like you to write 3 statements for using technology and 3 statements against using Technology. I have uploaded a ‘For and Against Sheet’ in case you want to use it. You then need to choose what side you stand on, whether for or against and write me a letter to persuade me to use more/less technology during lessons. I have uploaded a document with the useful words/phrases we have previously discussed in class when writing a persuasive piece of writing.

   I have uploaded a checklist for you to ensure you have included everything in your writing.

   Group 2 – (Those who work with Mr Glancy)
   -I would like you to make a story map, mapping out Blips adventure using pictures. Some of you will be able to write a short statement for each to explain what is happening at each stage. Start your map from when Blip becomes unplugged, next when he topples down a hill, then goes through the forest and then continue your map to the end of the story. When you are finished you could show it to someone wherever you are and retell the story to them.

Any completed word should be uploaded onto your Personal Learning Blog, accessed through your Glow Launchpad. This will give me the opportunity to look at your work and provide feedback.

Have a great morning and I will post another task at around 12.15.
