St John Ogilvie Primary School

This week we have been learning the sound ‘t’ and ‘n’. We also learned the word ‘my’. We have been using the magnet letters and the Alphablock tiles to make words. We are getting really good at spelling our words. In writing, we used Room on the Broom to help us write a sentence. We wrote what was on our broom and we used our sounds to help us spell out the words.

In maths, we have been learning about number 11 and 12. We have been using our finger patterns to help us add. We are also practising numbers before and after to 20. We used a number line to help us.

We have had lots of Halloween activities in the classroom. The potion lab has been very popular. We have also been creating our own pumpkin designs in the Creative Zone.

On Friday, we had a visit from our Buddies. We made pumpkin pictures to decorate the area for our Halloween Joining the Learning Day on Monday.

Some of our personal highlights this week are

Summer Rose – I liked drawing.

Vedansh – I liked reading.

Eve – I liked colouring.

Olga – I liked writing.

Vasilisa – I liked drawing the love hearts.

Connor – My favourite thing was learning the Word Boost words.

Miss Stebbing – I am very proud of everyone counting all the way to 50 and backwards from 20.

Well done to Darragh, who is this week’s hot chocolate winner.

Dear Parents,

Lots going on this week in Primary 7! Miss Davis, our student teacher, has been leading lots of interesting lessons and Mr McGurn is still around helping out too.

In maths, we have continued our work on addition and subtraction and enjoyed an ‘Escape Room’ on Tuesday. Luckily we escaped on time and got out of the class in time for lunch.

We have been writing limericks and especially enjoyed hearing some of Edward Lear’s famous funny Limericks. We’ll post some of our finished ones next Friday.

In HWB we learned about Article 24 of the Rights of a Child and have been discussing the dangers of alcohol. We also had some special coaches in for this week’s PE for football.

We have started our Sustainability and Renewable Energy topic and were learning about the Beatitudes in RME.

On Friday we got to meet up with our buddies to do some Halloween art.

Here is the Termly Overview for P7 up until Christmas:

Pupil Highlights:

Alex: We were revising how to multiply a number by 10,100 and 1000. The numbers move to the left. It depends on how much you are multiplying the number. If it is 10, the numbers move once in their place to the left. If you multiply by 100, the numbers move along two places.

‘Every number has a place and every place has a value’ thank you Mr Pentland for this useful place value phrase.

Rupert: We have been collecting our words of the day and encountered vocab.

Kieran: When we are given our word of the day, we use the ipads and go on word hippo or nifty word and search the meaning of the word.

Debbie: We have to identify the number of syllables, the word class, synonyms, antonyms , prefix and suffix.

Hanna: We also have to provide an example sentence to show how the word can be used.

Caiden: Our words in context this week have been :

‘The library has a diversity of books.’

‘The Clyde Side had a diversity of boats.’

‘The police man deprived the prisoner of their phone.’

Rebecca: ‘ I am sleep deprived.’

Hannah: We went into working groups with primary six to learn and test each other on maths vocabulary.

Rupert: We had to ascertain the definitions of maths vocabulary.

Liam: The two maths skills we have put in our How to Maths Diary are:

How to plot  missing numbers on a number line with intervals.

How to plot missing numbers on number line without intervals.

Hot Chocolate Winner This Week: Congratulations to Monique for all her hard work and being such a helpful member of the class.
