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.

The Happy Prince at San Anton Gardens

Posted on May 16, 2019 by mgarrprimary

This week Year 1.1 children visited San Anton Gardens. The children participated in a very meaningful play based on the story ‘The Happy Prince’ written by Oscar Wilde. After this, the children had the opportunity to visit the garden where they learnt a lot about nature.

They had lunch next to the turtle pond and then, they had the opportunity to observe several ducks and ducklings in the garden’s main pond. They also saw the black swan’s eggs. The children enjoyed looking at the colourful flowers, some busy bees at work, a lot of insects and also going around and under the magnificent trees.#

Learning Outdoors – Ta’ Ħaġrat Temples

Posted on May 8, 2019 by mgarrprimary

Today the Year 1.1 children visited the pre-historic temple of Ta’ Ħaġrat. Children have been mentioning these temples since our first visit to the Mġarr Centre. They were very enthusiastic about this outing and most of them were very curious about this place.

We set off after talking about this place. We talked about directions and number of steps, shapes and signs. When we arrived we talked about the location of this place, the different sections, and the enormous structure of this place.

Children were asked to imagine who used these temple, who built it and why it was used. At this point, their imagination ran wild! Real facts and findings will be shared with the kids in the following weeks.

Children took photos of different parts of the temple. Soon, they will be referring to the photos which will help them build a model of their favourite part of the temple.

Children felt very lucky that the people from the past have chosen their humble village to built ‘Ta’ Ħaġrat’ in and that people from all over the world are visiting it.

Sillabi…

Posted on March 22, 2019 by mgarrprimary

Din il-ġimgħa, it-tfal tal-ewwel sena kienu qegħdin jitkellmu dwar is-sillabi u kif ser jinqasmu biex jgħinuhom fil-qari. Huma għarfu li f’kull sillaba jkun hemm vokali waħda u l-ittri doppji qatt ma jistgħu ikunu fl-istess sillaba. Dan sar kollu b’eżerċizzju ħafif meta bl-imqass qasmu numru ta’ leħħiet li kienu għamlu huma stess.
