St John Ogilvie Primary School

What a week we have had in P1C.

We started learning our first sound in phonics, m. We learned how to write the letter in upper and lower case. We used our cutting skills to make m monsters and had lots of fun feeding m words to the red monster.

We continued our learning on numbers with 4 and 5. We looked at ordering numbers and learned the vocabulary before and after. We love number songs to practice counting.

We started looking at Our Senses, with this weeks focus being the sense of touch. We learned the vocabulary for describing how different materials feel – smooth, hard, bumpy, soft, rough etc.

This week we learned about the red Zone of Regulation, concentrating on angry and scared. We thought about situations that make us feel these emotions and drew black line drawings for them. We then tried to write a sentence to go with our picture.

We hope everyone has a lovely weekend and we look forward to another fun week in P1C!

This week we have been learning all about the letter ‘m’ and the common word ‘I’. We had lots of fun finding words beginning with m and trying to write the letter correctly. We also wrote a sentence using I and Mrs McKissack and Mrs McLaughlin came to our classroom to see our fantastic work. We have been making the letter m and I using different toys in the classroom and some people even used their snacks!

In Maths, we have been learning all about 4 and 5. On Friday, we learned how to log into Seesaw and we completed a task on there.

For Science and RE, we have been learning about our senses. This week we focussed on our sense of touch. We had to feel balloons and guess what was inside them by matching them to different pictures. We then spoke about how we can feel different textures and used materials to show each one.

Here are some of our personal highlights:

Freddie – I enjoyed learning about number 5.

Yahya – I enjoyed learning ‘I’.

Nevansh – I enjoyed using the blocks.

Penelope – I enjoyed drawing.

Rio – I enjoyed learning about number 5.

Well done to our Hot Chocolate winner this week. They have been very kind to others and have been working very hard on all their tasks.

Hello Everyone

We have worked very hard in P3 this week. In maths we continued working on numbers to 1000. We learned how to read and write 3 digit numbers and did lots of place value work. We started practising writing the numbers as words.

In literacy our new spelling sounds were a-e, ai and ay. We wrote super stories about Castles. We had lots of different types of castles, including, Haunted, Sparkly and Boat Castles. Our focus was to build good sentences using excellent adjectives.

We had fun exploring maps of Egypt and made our very own maps showing the important places, including the River Nile and Cairo.

Weekly Highlights

Martha, Shourya, Dhawan and Halle – We liked writing our Castle stories and working with 3 digit numbers.

Hallie, Elsie and Alfie – We liked making our maps of Egypt and learning about all of the places.

Zenith and Zoe – We enjoyed doing our new cursive hand writing.

Eden – I liked drawing my cruise ship.

Congratulations to Alfie, our hot chocolate winner. Well done Alfie!

Have a lovely weekend!

From all of P3

What another great week of fun and learning in P1C.

This week we have been learning about beginning, middle, end in Literacy.  We listened to sounds and had to identify the sound was at the beginning, middle or end.   We also looked at pictures of different animals and people and identify who was at the beginning, middle or end.

We have been learning about the emotion sadness.  We listened to stories about sadness and discussed what makes us sad and what strategies we can you to help us feel happy and calm again.  We drew a pen drawing of what makes us sad and tried to write about it.

In Maths, we have been learning about the numbers 2 and 3. We played ‘show me, throw me’ and looked at all the different ways to make 2 and 3 using ten frames, numicon, dice, fingers, blocks.  We also practised how to write the numbers correctly using whiteboards and large paper on the floor.

In RE, we have been talking about our gifts and talents. Everyone spoke confidently about their talent and we drew a picture in our jotters to show our talents.

Here are some of our personal highlights for this week:

Taro ‘I liked drawing and running’

Olivia ‘I liked learning about the spot of sadness’

Robin  ‘I liked listening to the nursery rhymes’

Falyn ‘I liked learning about a spot of sadness’

Ariya ‘I liked writing the number 2’

Mikolaj ‘I liked playing outside’

Ruaridh ‘I liked playing with the cars’

Samuel ‘I liked playing with our friends’

Fraser ‘I liked playing outside with my friends’

Mrs Russell’s ‘I loved how confident everyone is at coming over to the teaching table and completing tasks.  You are all working very hard and we are very proud of you’

Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

Hello families of P1A!

I cannot believe another week has passed already!  The children have all been superstars!  They have been working hard on Wonderful Walking through the school and know this means walking with our hands by our side and lips closed.  This means that not only is everyone keeping safe but also no other classes are being disturbed.

Here are the learning highlights from the Blue table:

Levy enjoyed the story of The 3 Little Pigs.  This linked to our learning all about the number 3.  The children successfully answered many comprehension questions throughout the story which impressed Mrs Brown!

Aleigha also reported that she enjoyed our learning about the number 3.  We discovered that if we form it the same way as the beginning of the number 2, that then just gets repeated.  Aleigha enjoyed writing in on her friend’s back as well as on an LCD writing tablet and whiteboard.

Joshua said that the best part of his week was listening to the story called ‘Bear’s Woobly Tooth’.  This story linked to our learning about our feelings.

Nathaniel liked when we went up to our school woodland.  We talked about how to keep safe in the woodland and had time to explore.  Our class will have our outdoor learning day on a Tuesday afternoon, when possible.

Cooper enjoyed looking at the pictures of all the adults in the school again and trying to remember their names.  We had a discussion on what is a Trusted Adult and who we would like as ours.  The children know that they can always talk to me about their worries but if there was someone in particular they would like to share that with, their Trusted Adult, then I will arrange that for them.

Bianka loved learning about how we are all given different gifts and talents from God and how we are all unique.  We looked at images of fingerprints and the different shapes and lines they make.  The children then dipped their finger in to ink and made a print in their jotter to see what lines and shapes they could see that were unique to them.

My highlight was the beautiful singing of the song, ‘He’s Got the Whole World in his Hands’.  The children have been learning how we are all part of God’s family and are therefore, brothers and sisters in Christ.  They enjoyed pointing to the boys when they sang, “He’s got you and me brother, in His hands” and pointing to the girls when they sang, “He’s got you and me sister, in His hands.”  There was lots of giggling and fun.

I hope you all are having a lovely weekend.

Mrs Brown
