Last week Year 1 children learned more about number value. They were given beans and blocks to make groups or towers showing the value of numbers from 1 to 10. They could clearly understand the meaning of value and easily understood the meaning of more and less.

Exploring parts of flowering plant
Reply
Today children learnt about flowers and plants. They talked about the parts of the plant – mainly the roots, the stem, leaves and fruit and they learnt about their purpose. Then they could analyse and discuss the similarities and differences including length, width of flowers, leaves and buds. They also noticed plants which had flowers and fruit.
In groups the children were challenged to recreate diagrams of plants. They using things they found in the outdoor environment.

Learning Maths Outdoors!!
The Year 2.2 students of Ms Stephanie Azzopardi have been learning Maths in a very hands-on and practical manner. However they are also doing this outside the classroom, while enjoying the outdoors.
On another they learned about subtraction using loose parts available in the school garden.
And another interesting lesson that was extended from the classroom to the outdoors was during English whereby children were learning about houses. After being exposed to vocabulary students enjoyed building their houses of tyres, logs and wood in the school garden.
Measuring using blocks
Today children went out in the garden to measure different items using blocks. They counted the number of blocks and recorded their findings in the Maths Journals.

Model Making
Following a visit at Ta’ Ħaġrat Temples in Mġarr, the Year 1 students were asked to make models of this temple using stones and twigs gathered from the school garden and interlocking cubes. The students’ observational skills were amazing to the extent that one group made a model of the temple and church and placed the church in perspective.
