Little Scientists at Work…
Students in Ms Claudine’s class of Yr 4.2 today conducted an experiment that is sometimes called Elephant’s Toothpaste. In this experiment they mixed food colour, detergent, hydrogen peroxide and yeast dissolved in water in a plastic bottle using a funnel. This created foam that shot up from bottles. Experiment created heat too as bottle was warm.

The year 4.1 students of Ms Angelique Attard prepared a special assembly for their schoolmates. During the assembly they demonstrated how electrostatic electricity can be produced by simply rubbing a balloon again a jersey. Students had a great time watching one of their classmates’ hair rising due to the electrostatic electricity that was produced.
In another experiment the students demonstrated how a volcano erupts by making use of various material which when mixed together react to cause a volcanic eruption.

Young Entrepreneurs
“Entrepreneurship is an engine of job creation, innovation and economic growth.”
Our school is currently participating in a college based project, which is partly funded by the EU, to enhance our students’ entrepreneurship skills. The students had a session about “Our Community”. More sessions are to follow in the coming weeks
Students and teachers were awarded certificates for participating in this venture 🙂
Marathon Walk
The school organised a Marathon Walk to raise funds for the purchase of literacy and numeracy resources for the students. The parents were very generous and a greatly appreciated donation was given to the school. 11 families donated more than €20. The highest amount collected was that of €32.60. A book will be given to all these families show our appreciation.
The students walked across the countryside of Mgarr, leaving from the school, walking to Bingemma and up to Lippijja. From there the students walked back to the school covering approximately 5.4km.
During the walk the students were given water break and lunch breaks. The students had leaflets prepared. The aim of these leaflets was for the students to appreciate all that can be found around them in this beautiful village of Mgarr.
Students also had the the opportunity to see a wind turbine, walk past a pig farm and a cemetry, see a number of green houses, olives trees and numerous fields. The fields were growing tomatoes, broad beans, marrows, onions, strawberries and artichokes.
Well done to all the students and members for staff for the effort put into this walk and heartfelt thanks to the parents helpers who made this a successful event.
Vanishing Homes…
Caring for our environment is essential. We live in an ecosystem where every organism depends on one another. If an imbalance is created, this may lead to the extinction of a number of species and may lead to natural disasters.
Bird hunting, deforestation, burning down of forests, farming, the industrial revolution and other factors have a direct impact of the habitat of a number of animals. Trees are homes to birds, snakes, insects and many other creatures. When trees are cut down, the homes of these creatures vanish.
The year 4.1 students were made aware of these issues during another Dinja Waħda activity.
