St John Ogilvie Primary School

Week Beginning 30.9.19

P1B highlights:

Paige – I liked playing in the woods.  I was the ‘negro’ (black in Spanish) group so we were ‘free play this week’.

Zac – My favourite part was cutting out a snowman (linked with our ‘s’ phonics learning).

Amelia – Amelia liked learning about Tiger Ten this week.  He was such a show off and thought he was much more clever than all the other animals.

Ishani S – I liked walking around the school outside.  I heard cars and aeroplanes (linked to our ‘sense of hearing’ learning).

Mrs Devlin: I especially liked when we learned the actions for the Hail Mary prayer.  The children loved it and wanted to say the Hail Mary a lot this week.  If you wanted to practise it at home, the actions are as follows:

Hail Mary, (Lift your right hand pointing to the sky.)

Full of grace, (Lift your left hand pointing to the sky.)

The Lord is with you. (Bring your hands down folded near your heart.)

Blessed are you among women, (Take your right hand and sweep it across your body pointing to all the girls in the group around you.)

And blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus. (Pretend you are rocking a baby in your arms.)

Holy Mary, (Lift your right hand pointing to the sky.)

Mother of God, (Lift your left hand pointing to the sky.)

Pray for us sinners, (Bring your hands down folded near your heart.)

Now (Point down to the ground with both hands.)

And at the hour of our death. (Point to a pretend watch on your wrist.)

Amen. (Bring hands together folded near your heart.)

Primary 6 participated in the Cross Country competition with enthusiasm and determination. Well done everyone!

From the Lead learners

Carla and Viktoria

P1a have loved learning their new sound.

Ben:  c is yellow because Miss Smith needs a torch to see you make this sound in your throat.

Marie:  I liked making crowns and sticking the ‘c’ sound on it.

All of P1 have been working really hard at counting out numbers 1 to 10 and placing only one counter on each box in  a ten frame.

Ishaan:  5 and 2 make 7 because there are 5 at the top and 2 at the bottom.

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.

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 🙂
