At Dogs Trust’s teachers have a passion for animal welfare and a natural tendency to educate others about animal welfare.

Today, 19th November 2013, our students from year 1 to year 6 had a fun, exciting and educational workshop to help them to learn more about caring for dogs, responsible dog ownership and how to stay safe around dogs.

The students had the opporutnity to learn more about dogs through different interactive and experiential learning activities including brainstorming, role play, debates and discussions, group working, story telling and drama elements.

Dogs Trust believes that by educating the dog owners of tomorrow we can help to reduce the number of abandoned, stray and unwanted dogs in the future, and also have a healthier and happier society.

Aside

Performance of Treasure Island by Year 2 students:

This book was written by Robert Louis Stevensen. The story is about Jim Hawkins, a boy who finds a map that shows a hidden treasure on an island and decides to sail to the island with other sailors going there for the same purpose. Amongst these sailors, there was a group of pirates, lead by Ling John Silver, who devised a plan how to take the treasure without sharing it with the others. A fight ensues and the sailors capture the pirates and go home happy with the treasure.

The year 2 students performed excellently assisted by their teachers Ms Carmen Spiteri and Ms Marilyn Bugeja and LSA Ms Ann Cassar.

Is-sur Siegħa u Bee-Bot…

L-istudenti ta’ Ms Analisa Magro tat-tieni sena kellhom lezzjoni nteressanti mas-Sur Siegħa u Bee-Bot fejn tgħallmu jaqraw il-ħin bil-Malti b’mod mhux tas-soltu. Wara li l-għalliema ntroduċiet lis-Sur Siegħa permezz ta’ preżentazzjoni, t-tfal kellhom l-opportunita’ biex jużaw il-Bee-Bot biex japplikaw dak li tgħallmu.

Ara dan il-video biex tara l-esperjenza sabiħa li kellhom it-tfal.

Bee-Bots

The students at Mgarr have had their first go with Bee-Bots. Bee-Bots are small robot of high educational value. The students have to programme the Bee-Bot for it to reach a particular destination. Today the students had to help the Bee-Bot to sort the various stages of the life cycle of a frog in order. Apart from having to think about which path the Bee-Bot had to follow to reach its destination, the students had time to think about various solutions to the same problem and collaborated to make this task a success.
