Cross-Curricular Activities in Year 6.2
Mr Matthew Cassar used Crafts combined with Maths.
In the first lesson, students had to create a Factor House where the factors of a given number were represented as windows while the multiple was drawn on the roof. This activity helps the students remember better what Factors are and give better examples.
Another activity about Equivalent Fractions was carried out. The students created a jigsaw puzzle where equivalent fractions were drawn on each piece. This helps the students build a connection between equivalent fractions and a jigsaw puzzle- as they are all equal and thus they all fit together as one.
Teaching and learning at Mġarr Primary School is fun for all. Well done to our educators.

Activity for CODE WEEK
At SNC Mġarr Primary School, we are are working to have systematically creative, active and collaborative learners. In Year 6.2, this was achieved by getting the students to help each other to learn and play through the shared language of LEGO Story Starters. LEGO can be used to help join logic and reasoning with creativity, and provide children with the opportunity to build the things they see in the real world, experiment with their surroundings and get hands-on with their environment. LEGO play and learning sets are just the job for helping children learn more about the communities they live in.
Mr Matthew Cassar gave his students the opportunity to use Lego Story Starters to create an image of the story they were going to write about in their creative writing task. The Lego packs helped the students formulate their ideas better while building a word bank of adjectives related to their story at the same time. Teaching and learning is fun for our students.
