Educating our children about the anatomy of the human body is important. Children should learn, from an early stage, how the body functions and what is needed to keep our body healthy.
During one of their lessons, Ms Marilyn of year 1.1 helped the students become aware of some of the major bones in our body. Not only is the skeleton an essential part of the human body because it helps to keep us upright, but it also is an amazing set of bones and joints which helps us move the way we do.
Learning through play is one of our school’s philosophies. Ms Marilyn Bugeja of year 1.1 thought of helping her students learn directions by playing a game in the school yard. Not only were the students learning their directions, but the teacher also linked this activity to numeracy.
Well done 😉
On Wednesday, 30th January, Year 1.1 children, were very excited because they were going to prepare a healthy tasty pizza on a wrap. Children were asked to follow the instructions carefully. After preparing the ingredients, they placed them on their wrap and then, these were put in the oven for a few minutes. When wraps were cooked, children enjoyed their delicious wrap.
Special thanks goes to their teacher Ms Marilyn, and their LSAs Ms Josephine and Ms Alison 🙂
It-tfal ta’ Ms Louise tal-yr 1.2 kellhom lezzjoni interessanti dwar l-ittri kapitali u l-ittri żgħar. Hawn fuq qed naraw lil dawn it-tfal waqt ħinijiet differenti tal-lezzjoni u naraw kif dawn it-tfal jaħdmu flimkien biex jitgħallmu affarijiet ġodda. L-użu tat-teknoloġija ma tonqosx. Prosit tassew 🙂
The students of year 1.1 of Ms Marilyn Bugeja, together with Ms Josephine Galea have been putting their aritistic skills at work, creating beautiful paintings using poster colours. Well done for the fantastic works of art 😉 
On 12th December 2013 they year 1 students of Ms Marilyn (yr 1.1 teacher) and Ms Louise (yr 1.2 teacher) had fanstastic maths workshops which were organised with the help of the maths support teacher, Ms Joanne Vella.
Organising such maths workshops required a lot of preparation and co-ordination between the class teachers and the maths support teacher. It is very satisfying to see the results of great team work.
During the maths workshops, Ms Janice Vella Muscat (Yr 2.1 teacher), Ms Josephine (LSA), Ms Isabelle and Ms Morris (both maths support teachers) assisted the class teachers and their students. It is through such experiences that in our education system we work hard to instill a love towards maths.
The workshops included: sponge printing (to learn shapes), decorating the Christmas under 1 minute (to learn time), sorting caps according to colour (sequencing), sorting thinsel (to learn longer and shorter), helping Bee-Bot eat his chocolate treat (thinking skills, direction and counting) and matching number cards to value cards (number concepts).
Well done to all and keep up the good work 😉 Special thanks goes to our photographer Ryan Micallef, a year 5 student 🙂
On 10th December 2013 the year 1 students visited the National Aquarium at Buġibba.
The children were amazed by the different species of fish found at this aquarium. They learned about these fish, their different characteristics and their habitat.
After seeing the fish in all the sections of the aquarium, children were guided to another section where they had their lunch. Afterwards, they were given a colouring sheet to colour one of the fish found at the aquarium.
L-għalliema tagħna dejjem jagħmlu ħilithom biex lit-tfal jagħtuhom tgħallim b’mod mill-aktar kreattiv u prattiku. Għalxejn inpaċpċu… L-aħjar mod ta’ kif it-tfal jitgħallmu huwa billi jużaw mod konkret fejn it-tfal imissu b’idejhom stess dak li qed jitgħallmu.
Ms Marilyn, għalliema tal-year 1.1, toħloq ċirkustanzi ta’ tgħallim fejn it-tfal iridu jħaddmu moħħhom, jużaw idejhom u fl-istess ħin jiddiskutu ma’ sħaba fuq l-aħjar soluzzjoni.
F’dawn l-attivitajiet qed naraw lit-tfal jagħmlu eżerċizzji differenti biex jitgħallmu b’liema ħoss jibda ċertu kliem u liema hi l-ewwel ittra. Dan huwa eżerċizzju importanti li l-quddiem iwassal biex it-tfal jitgħallmu jaqraw. Ta’ min jinnota li anke l-użu tal-kompjuter jilgħab rwol importanti meta jinħolqu eżerċizzji addatti mill-għalliema stess.
Prosit tassew 🙂
Another activity year 1.1 students of Ms Marilyn like to do in their classroom is to have Show and Tell sessions.
Children are given some time to talk about a particular subject or item. One of our Show and Tell sessions was about the children’s favourite animal. Children were given some time to look for some information about their favourite animal and then present their research. They were very creative and came up with some interesting facts!
Well done children and well done to Ms Marilyn 🙂
Children love to stretch and have a short break between lessons. The children in yr 1.1 of Ms Marilyn Bugeja sing rhymes, do some stretching and move to the children’s favourite song – the Move Week song which one can see below:
The picture below shows the year 1.1 children enjoying the song and dancing to the music.
