St John Ogilvie Primary School

Last Monday we went to Sky Skills Academy and we made a video about Cyberbullying.

We were split into groups and each group had their own studio.  Each studio had a different part of the video to record. Studio 1 introduced the News report, Studio 2 reported from St John Ogilvie, Studio 3 reported from another school with 2 eye witnesses and Studio 4 interviewed and expert from Twitter.

In each group we had individual roles , such as camera operator, director etc., and each role was important for the studios to record a great part of video.

We enjoyed ourselves and we were so excited.  We would love to go back again.  We each got a USB with the final video so we can share with our family.

Primary 6A

Week Beginning 23.9.19

P1B highlights:

Jonah: I liked meeting Naught Nine.  He squirted water over everyone!

Shelby:  I liked being the Milk Monitor with Daisydee.  We need to check we get 15 milk – 10 milk and 5 milk.

Leah: My favourite part was when I drew a rainbow during Choosing Time.

Freya: My favourite part was when we went into our House Groups.  I went to Miss Stebbing and we were learning about friendship.

Mrs Devlin: My highlight of the week was when we went outside to play hopscotch as part of our Numeracy warm up.  Layla sent photographs in of her playing this at home so she was our teacher and taught us how to play.  Thanks Layla!

We have had a great week of learning this week. We continued to learn about The Wright Brothers and their great flying invention. In science we were challenged not only to make a paper aeroplane with the success criteria that is glides, but were also challenged to make a parachute to safely land a playmobil figure. We all loved these challenges and look forward to next weeks.

In Math we have been learning about rounding numbers to the nearest 10 and 100. We have also been working out the area of shapes by counting squares.

We are all doing brilliantly with our reading and have been learning the skill of looking for clues and reading between the lines to make inferences.

This week we started to think about our new topic and what we already knew about the Rainforests.  We got our Sumdog passwords and had a quick turn of the games.  We are very excited about using this to help us learn and as next week is Maths Week Scotland we will get a chance to do this.

Here are some of our learning highlights from this week.

Emily – I liked when we did the doves.

Aoife – I liked when we were doing maths because it was very fun things.

Adam – We had our first House Group Meetings this week.  We all worked together in a group.

Marriyah – I liked writing the Peace Poems.

Sam – I liked when we were doing the doves because we got to think about climate change.

Josh – I liked when Miss Stebbing built the pizza shop.

Elizabete – I liked when we learned about Peace and made the poems.

PS – P3a, I had a lovely day with you on Monday.  My favourite thing was when we learned about the Spanish words for colours and you were able to teach me how to say some of the tricky ones!  Mrs Egan 🙂

This week in P3B we started learning about compass directions and began directing our friends around the classroom using North, East, South and West. We finished writing our story about Mr and Mrs Twit’s new prank and some people read these to the class. As well as this, we learned more about exclamation marks and tried to use these in our writing. In Science with Mrs Valente we were learning all about freezing and melting. We also talked about International Day of Peace which was last weekend. We spoke about the theme of Climate Change and drew different things we can do to waste less. Tempest Photography were in to take our pictures.

This week in Primary 3 we have been participating in lots of different activities to celebrate National Coding Week. Today both classes took part in activities together over the two classrooms. Some of the activities included Coding a Classmate, using the Beebots, having a turn of coding on scratch and using the Spheros.

Some of our highlights:

“Scratch is fun. I made a bear go away far out the game. It went far I couldn’t see it anymore” – Keaghan

“I played the rocket game with the Spheros” – Zephaniah

“I liked playing with the tablet and helping make the pictures talk” – Niamh

“We played spin to win. We played with the five digit one” – Naman

“I taught someone in P3B how to use Scratch” – Daisy

“I liked using the iPad to make things talk” – Joshua

In P4B we have had the opportunity to build a circuit to light a bulb, sound a buzzer or to work a fan. We learned about conductors and insulators, testing how different materials affect how the circuit works. We really enjoyed this activity.

P4B have been learning about the history of communication. We investigated the invention of the internet as a means of communicating and learned about internet safety. Today we are thinking about our digital footprint and what we want our digital footprint to be in 15 years.
