Posted on November 27, 2015 by mgarrprimary

The Year 3.2 students of Ms Stephanie went for a Maths shopping activity in the locality of Mgarr. During this activity the children had the opportunity to experience, first-hand, shopping groceries for a recipe they had to prepare at school. The children went to a grocery and to the bakery to buy ingredients for a healthy sandwich. They had to pay for the ingredients and make sure they were given the correct change. This activity helped children to learn more about bills, estimates, prices, change and euro coins.

Sunny Fieldwork at Marsaxlokk

Posted on November 17, 2015 by mgarrprimary

On Thursday 12th November 2015, our Year 5 pupils went to Marsaxlokk to carry out a Social Studies fieldwork exercise valid for their half-yearly exams. The weather was fantastic for this time of the year (thanks to St. Martin) which put a smile on everyone’s face.

Friendly fishermen and street hawkers readily exchanged a few words with the children, and also complimented the latter on being very well behaved. Many tourists were also amused to see them diligently carrying out their tasks, and the kids repaid their attention with lots of waves and hellos.

It was a truly enjoyable and instructive experience for the children, who were keen in showing their appreciation both during the outing as well as following our return to school. What a fun way to learn!
