Valentine’s Day Special Assembly
The Yr 3.1 students prepared a special assembly for Valentine’s day with the aim of sharing love among one another. The students animated the assembly with a dance and with messages of love.
Students in year 3.2 were busy discovering what weight is by means of concrete and hands on activities.
They learned about mass by means of pictures, discussions, PowerPoints, predictions, experiments, comparisons and by handling different objects and weighing them to determine which was lighter or heavier.
They had the opportunity to see and use a scale as well as a balance with weights of different masses up to 1Kg.
They each held different objects and weights with different masses to determine if they were light or heavy. They compared the weight of these objects, predicted which one would be heavier/lighter and then used the balance to check.
The students held a 1Kg packet of pasta to feel its weight and also used its equivalent in weights to understand what 1000g/1Kg actually feels like. This also helped them in determining whether something was lighter or heavier than 1Kg.
All in all, learning about weight was a pleasurable experience!

Creating Story Sums
After revising addition and subtraction and working on their problem solving skills, the year 3.2 students worked in groups to create their own story sums. Each group was given bottle caps to help them work out their own story sums. They were also able to choose if their story sum focused on addition, subtraction or a mixture of the two operations. Finally, each group presented their work and we displayed them in class.

Pyjama and Cereal Day
The students came to school wearing their pyjamas. The aim of this event was to raise awareness that although when wearing pyjamas we feel its warmth, one should not forget that there are children and other patients lying in bed in hospital. Cereals were also given to students to encourage the importance of starting the day with a healthy breakfast.
The Year 3.2 students of Ms Sharon Calleja prepared a special assembly. The students sang a song “Fonzu l-Fenek” which promotes the importance of living a healthy lifestyle based on a healthy balanced diet, including plenty of exercise.
