St John Ogilvie Primary School

We have had a fantastic week in Primary 2, with lots of excellent learning taking place!

We continued to learn about our senses and the children wrote fantastic senses poems about their favourite things.

Our new sounds this week were ‘ch’ and ‘tch’.  We also looked at plurals and learned when we should add ‘s’ to a word and when we should add ‘es’.  Ask your child and see if they can remember!

In Maths, we continued to work on the numbers from 0 to 100.  We did some skip counting in 2’s and looked at the number before and after.  We also carried out some problem solving work in small groups.

We were scheduled for outdoor learning on Thursday, unfortunately due to the terrrible torrential rain we didn’t manage to get out.  It did clear up in the afternoon but many of the children did not have suitable outdoor shoes, therefore we decided to wait until next week.  It would be amazing if the children could try to bring waterproof shoes and jackets for then.  Here are a few pictures of us enjoying the outdoors over the past few weeks:

We made self portraits using materials we found in the woodlands:

Big congratulations to our hot chocolate winner this week, Posy!  Posy is always very well behaved, helps around the classroom and works very hard.

Our new reading champion is Maja!  Maja is a fantastic example to other children, reading quietly and sensibly during ERIC time and showing great enthusiasm for reading.

We hope you all have a great weekend!

Dear Parents,

Here’s what we got up to in P7A this week:

On Monday we were doing art in the style of Mondrian.

On Tuesday we did mime in drama in groups of three or four.

On Wednesday we split up into defenders and pursuers and we were getting ready for Mock Court. We also made delicious apple crumble.

On Thursday we went up to Dechmont Law to look for conkers.   

On Friday we were writing a plan for instructions on how to make an apple crumble.

Francesca was this week’s Over and Above winner and will be Lead Learner with Aarya next week.

Have a great weekend,

Julia and Emili and Primary 7A.

We have had a great week of learning in P1.

We learned a new sound, this week it was the ‘p’ sound. It is a pink sound because we use our lips and its a quiet sound. We enjoyed lots of different activities to help us to learn the sound.

Tiara – I made spotty pants

Ava – We had popcorn.

Guhan Kumar -I made a pig.

Lena – I cut out a penguin.

For writing, we wrote fantastic sentences about what we could see at the farm.

Antosh – I can see the cat.

Arush – I can see the swan.

In math we worked on writing our numbers 9 and 10. We also looked at ten frames and how to make numbers and thinking about adding on 1 more. We started to look at part part whole strategy for addition.

Dawid – I love numbers.

Daniel – I have always wondered why 10 is made up of 2 numbers.

We have started to learn about jobs. We looked at some shops and played a game to see if we could guess the job. Our focus this week was on being an Optician.

Cerys – They check your eyes.

William – They give you glasses.

We hope everyone has a great weekend and we look forward to a new week of learning next week.

Ella – I enjoyed doing the first climate smart lesson because I like learning about the different types of energy we use is fun.

Ema – I really enjoyed maths this week and speaking to others in the class.

Julia – I enjoyed doing the climate smart WAT activity because it was challenging and I was learning new things.

Asim – I liked P.E and I really like dodge ball.

Kyle – I enjoyed reading  a Spiderman book in ERIC with Ruari and Nathan.

Lucas O – I enjoyed creating our questions before, during and after questions about a therapy cat.

Babafola – I enjoyed school this week and I have not enjoyed it for a long time.

Congratulations to Hot Chocolate Winner this week: Without a doubt, hot chocolate winner this week is John. You have consistently been an outstanding pupil this week in primary five.

What a busy week in P4B.

For PE we were dancing in the hall with Mr P (E), it was fun! (CF)

We shared our learning about Scottish Inventors at our assembly on Wednesday. It was good. (ID) Mrs Ross thinks we were absolutely brilliant!

As part of our writing we followed instructions to make paper areoplanes. (EB) We tested them out in a competition. Elvin came first, with Amariah-Grace, Aaron and Aarav were runner ups.

We started using TEAMS for our homework and lots of people managed to get their task and complete it.

Hello P7B families, 

It’s Fatima M and Veerica, this week’s bloggers! 

This week’s highlights include: 

• Our online chat with the Head of Houses from St Margarets Academy in which we asked some questions to Mr. Bennett and Mrs. Munro, 

• Our weekly visit from St Margarets Academy’s math teachers in which we did math relay races, 

• We also did some autumn tree art where we painted a tree trunk then added autumn coloured leaves with cotton buds, 

• In our writing, we researched an animal of our choice. We then started an information report on that animal,  

• We had a look at our interests and thought of a career path that would suit our skills, 

• We also continued to prepare for our Mock Court in December. The lawyers and witnesses got together to find flaws in the opponent’s story. 

That’s all for this week, hope you enjoyed it! 

Tune in next Friday for more info!
