Following the successful introduction of the use of tablets in year 4 last year, another scholastic year kicked off with the distribution of tablets to the current year 4 students.

Being an innovative way of teaching and learning, parents were invited to join their children for a hands-on workshop. Both parents and students worked together, while teachers gave a demonstration of how tablets are being used to assist in the daily teaching and learning.

The lessons were prepared by the class teachers, Ms Angelique Attard and Ms Kylie Said, together with the elearning support teacher, Ms Laura Schembri. Apart from sharing good practice with both students and parents, this was a great opportunity to show the hard work being done by teachers at St Nicholas College, Mgarr Primary. Moreover, this was evidence of great team work which aims to include all stakeholders in an highly educational manner.

During the revision for the Half-Yearly Exams the children used their tablets to play a quiz on Kahoot! They had fun while they revised for the exams.

A meeting was held for parents of students in Year 4 regarding the use of tablets. The session was delivered by our eLearning Support Teacher, Ms Laura Schembri. The aim of this session was to inform parents about how tablets are used as a tool to enhance teaching and learning. It also provided parents with an opportunity to bring forward any queries or difficulties that their children may have encountered.

Since from this scholastic year tablets have been introduced in the daily teaching process, the year 4.2 class of Ms Mathea Vassallo used the tablet to work out Mental Maths questions and Religion questions in a form of a quiz. This also served as a revision session for the upcoming exams. Children enjoyed it very much!
