The programme was jam packed with fun, culture, history and new friendships.

The students stayed in Manresa house. On arrive in Gozo they visited the Cittadella, Folklore museum, the Cathedral, silos and battery shelters.

They proceeded to the natural history museum and the Ċitadella Visitors’ Centre where they saw a captivating documentary about Gozitan History. Afer they visited the dry moat, narrow streets in Il Manderaggio, saw an exhibition of Good Friday Statues, Don Bosco Oratory and the cemetery of the Crusades. Finally they visited Lunzjata Valley and its chapel built on a cliff side. Before retreating for the day, they had supper at House Manresa. After supper the students went to Ta Marziena and enjoyed Munxar’s open gym, then proceeded towards Sannat passing through Ġnien is-Sultan before going back to the dormitories.

Literacy Day… Buxu

Leave a reply

The children listened to the story, Buxu Jsib Tezor. They played a fishing game. The children were split in two groups and used a fishing rod to catch some fish. Once they caught a fish they had to identify the number written on the fish. The children made a cat using toilet paper rolls using their favourite colour.

The children took turns to play the role of Buxu (wearing ears) outdoors. The other children played the role of Buxu’s cat friends. They counted numbers to play hide and seek while Buxu went hiding in a bucket that was full of fish which he shared with his friends and family.

The children had some time to improve their mathematical skills by using the beebot with cards/pictures taken from the book of Buxu.

Literacy Day… Stone Soup

Leave a reply

The teacher animated the story Stone Soup .  Students also enjoyed animating parts of the story.  Then, the class discussed the story elements.  Afterwards, students were given a template of a plan with pictures and they wrote the characters, the setting of the story etc…Another plan was given,  this time they had the question words or phrases only so that they could modify some parts of the story from the previous plan.  In so doing, the students made the text more interesting and relevant to them.

Finally, they were given the text of the story in the form of a paragraph and they had to change the underlined text according to their second plan. During reading sessions students not only draw their favourite scene and character but they also write why.

Fieldwork at Djar il-Bniet

Children enjoyed a lovely outing in Dingli. Although familiar with strawberry fields in our area, children enjoyed a walk down the strawberry fields. They were shown different wild herbs which grow in local fields and can be used with food such as the wild rucola, bay leaves, fennel etc. Children enjoyed the smell of some leaves such as lemon and orange tree leaves. Afterwards, they created their own strawberry muffin using fresh strawberries, homemade strawberry jam and some chocolate chips.
