School Fruit and Vegetable Scheme
The school is participating in the local initiative of providing a fruit or vegetable portion on a daily basis to students, better known as Skema ta’ Frott u Ħxejjex. The year 2 students had a hands-on session during which they planted basil and parsley in pots. Students had the opportunity to learn about the importance of such herbs in daily diets to provide the body with minerals needed for a healthier lifestyle.

Learning about Adjectives
The Yr 2.2 students of Ms Stephanie had an interesting lesson about adjectives, also referred to as describing words. The teacher introduced the lesson by showing the students a book about Simpi, the elephant. Students were asked to describe the elephant and to find the adjectives on a presentation.
The lesson continued with a set of games and activities where students had to match the words to the correct adjective using Bee-Bot, worked interactive games on the computer, matched flash cards to pictures and also wrote sentences to describe objects. These hands-on sessions allowed students to learn by thinking and sharing.

L-għ u l-h…
L-istudenti tat-tieni sena ta’ Ms Stephanie kellhom lezzjoni dwar l-għajn (għ) u l-hakka (h). Dawn huma żewġ ittri li jħawwdu bosta studenti. L-għalliema użat sistema multi-sensorjali fejn l-istudenti użaw għodod differenti biex jesploraw kliem li jibda bl-għ u bl-h. Fost dawn l-għodod użaw “plasticine” u ittri tal-plastik biex joħolqu kliem li jibdew bl-għ u l-h. Fl-istess ħin it-tfal kellhom l-opportunita’ biex jaħdmu fi gruppi jew f’par biex flimkien johorġu b’aktar kliem.
Counting in 2s and 5s
The Yr 2.2. students of Ms Stephanie had a very interesting Maths lesson. Children explored various ways of counting in 2s and 5s. Such learning sessions are very important as they prepare the foundations for manipulating numbers when learning tables. During one of the activities the students made their own hand prints, using paint, and then wrote the number of fingers under each hand print by counting in fives.
