We talked about what plants need to grow, the lifecycle of a plant and how to plant a seed. We got to plant our own sunflower seeds and we wrote instructions about how to plant a seed and we used our new common word &#8216;put&#8217;.\u00a0 We are very excited to see how quickly our plants grow.<\/p>\n<p>In Literacy, we have been learning the &#8216;oo&#8217; and &#8216;igh&#8217; sounds. We got to play some games to read and spell words with these sounds.<\/p>\n<p>In Maths, we have been practising using a counting on or counting back strategy to complete addition and subtraction sums. We also did our first Building Thinking Classrooms task. We had to connect coloured dots without crossing the lines. We got random partners and we were very good at writing our partners ideas when we had the pen.<\/p>\n<p>For Outdoor Learning, we read the book \u2018Not a Stick\u2019 and then found sticks in the wood and used our imaginations to change them into something else. We also did some bug hunting and played on some obstacle courses that some upper area classes had made.<\/p>\n<p>We all agreed the highlight of our week was planting the seeds.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23491\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/stjohnogilvieprimary\/uploads\/sites\/6314\/2026\/04\/17121254\/IMG_5474.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1008\" height=\"1260\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/stjohnogilvieprimary\/uploads\/sites\/6314\/2026\/04\/17121254\/IMG_5474.jpeg 1008w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/stjohnogilvieprimary\/uploads\/sites\/6314\/2026\/04\/17121254\/IMG_5474-240x300.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/stjohnogilvieprimary\/uploads\/sites\/6314\/2026\/04\/17121254\/IMG_5474-819x1024.jpeg 819w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/stjohnogilvieprimary\/uploads\/sites\/6314\/2026\/04\/17121254\/IMG_5474-768x960.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1008px) 100vw, 1008px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23492\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/stjohnogilvieprimary\/uploads\/sites\/6314\/2026\/04\/17121258\/IMG_5473.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1008\" height=\"1260\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/stjohnogilvieprimary\/uploads\/sites\/6314\/2026\/04\/17121258\/IMG_5473.jpeg 1008w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/stjohnogilvieprimary\/uploads\/sites\/6314\/2026\/04\/17121258\/IMG_5473-240x300.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/stjohnogilvieprimary\/uploads\/sites\/6314\/2026\/04\/17121258\/IMG_5473-819x1024.jpeg 819w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/stjohnogilvieprimary\/uploads\/sites\/6314\/2026\/04\/17121258\/IMG_5473-768x960.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1008px) 100vw, 1008px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23493\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/stjohnogilvieprimary\/uploads\/sites\/6314\/2026\/04\/17121302\/IMG_5458.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1008\" height=\"1260\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/stjohnogilvieprimary\/uploads\/sites\/6314\/2026\/04\/17121302\/IMG_5458.jpeg 1008w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/stjohnogilvieprimary\/uploads\/sites\/6314\/2026\/04\/17121302\/IMG_5458-240x300.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/stjohnogilvieprimary\/uploads\/sites\/6314\/2026\/04\/17121302\/IMG_5458-819x1024.jpeg 819w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/stjohnogilvieprimary\/uploads\/sites\/6314\/2026\/04\/17121302\/IMG_5458-768x960.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1008px) 100vw, 1008px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23494\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/stjohnogilvieprimary\/uploads\/sites\/6314\/2026\/04\/17121305\/IMG_5457.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1260\" height=\"1260\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/stjohnogilvieprimary\/uploads\/sites\/6314\/2026\/04\/17121305\/IMG_5457.jpeg 1260w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/stjohnogilvieprimary\/uploads\/sites\/6314\/2026\/04\/17121305\/IMG_5457-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/stjohnogilvieprimary\/uploads\/sites\/6314\/2026\/04\/17121305\/IMG_5457-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/stjohnogilvieprimary\/uploads\/sites\/6314\/2026\/04\/17121305\/IMG_5457-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/stjohnogilvieprimary\/uploads\/sites\/6314\/2026\/04\/17121305\/IMG_5457-768x768.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1260px) 100vw, 1260px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23495\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/stjohnogilvieprimary\/uploads\/sites\/6314\/2026\/04\/17121309\/IMG_5456.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1260\" height=\"1260\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/stjohnogilvieprimary\/uploads\/sites\/6314\/2026\/04\/17121309\/IMG_5456.jpeg 1260w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/stjohnogilvieprimary\/uploads\/sites\/6314\/2026\/04\/17121309\/IMG_5456-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/stjohnogilvieprimary\/uploads\/sites\/6314\/2026\/04\/17121309\/IMG_5456-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/stjohnogilvieprimary\/uploads\/sites\/6314\/2026\/04\/17121309\/IMG_5456-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/stjohnogilvieprimary\/uploads\/sites\/6314\/2026\/04\/17121309\/IMG_5456-768x768.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1260px) 100vw, 1260px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have had a great first week back in P1B!
