The Year 5 students started a series of equestrian sessions at the Sunflower Park.
Students had some time to get to know the lovely ponies and horses residing at this park.
They also had great fun riding the ponies and horses.
This was a great experience for the students. In fact one student told his teacher that this was the best outing ever. In the following sessions students will learn how to groom ponies and horses and how to take care of them.
The year 3.1 students had a blast counting in tens and learning how to subtract 10 from a 2-digit number.
They learned how to do these by means of a story, hands-on activities involving manipulatives like interlocking cubes, games and it was even integrated with physical education.

The Mġarr Music Band organised a Christmas Carols Concert at our school. Students joined in, singing and dancing, adding to the fun of Christmas. Merry Christmas to all 🙂
Heartfelt thanks to all the members of staff, parents and students for a wonderful Celebration Day. Team work is what makes our school a daily success 🙂
The Year 2.2 students of Ms Stephanie Azzopardi, enjoyed cooking a Gingerbread Man. The students enjoyed the session while learning about measuring, food hygiene and and team work!
With all the modern technologies, the sending of Christmas cards is something, which our kids do not do often. That is why I decided to enroll on an e-twinning project with 6 foreign schools where we had to create Christmas cards and send them to each other.
Kids were excited in creating these cards. They were much even excited when we started receiving these Christmas cards. The kids learnt a lot from this activity as we noticed several things such as different stamps, cost to send a card, addresses to be written, how long it took to arrive to destination and how letters arrive from one destination to another.
It was truly an experience which the kids will never forget!

The Kindergarten 2 students visited Mdina for a session of symbol literacy. The students walked around the Mdina ditch, followed by a lunch break. With their tummies full, the students entered the wall of the Silent City and were asked to find the door to the main entrance of the Cathedral Museum. Once inside the museum, the students had to find St Michael. Upon finding him, a story telling session and follow up activity kicked off. The students were prepared in advance about the character of St Michael.

An internet e-safety event was organised for the Year 5 and Yr 6 students by the healthy and safety teacher, Ms Jacqueline Abela and the digital literacy support teacher, Ms Laura Schembri.
Students used their laptops to scan QR codes which were displayed in the school hall.
Every code was linked to a safety measure that needs to be taken to make our homes safer this Christmas.
In the above photos students have shared some of the safety tips they learnt. Such sessions are a true example of how technology can be used to embrace a meaningful learning experience.
While learning vocabulary related to this time of the year, the students of Yr 2.2 prepared a live crib and enjoyed a number of activities related to Christmas.
