Special Assemblies

Diversity (1)Diversity (3)Diversity (7)

Every week a different class is to prepare a special assembly which is held in the school hall. The Year 4.1 students of Ms Angelique prepared a special assembly about Diversity using the metaphor of us being like a box of crayons. Each colour is wonderful in its own way and together the colours give us the wonderful world we live in. We all have our talents and by pooling our talents we can always achieve better.

Special Assemblies

Morning assemblies are an important part of the daily schedule in every educational institution. This gives the students, teachers and senior management team time to communicate, pray and learn together. Every class will be preparing special assemblies throughout the scholastic year.

Another assembly was prepared by the year 5.2 class of Ms Micallef. Her students role played  a situation where one of the students was not allowed to play football with his team mates. Through this experience students were made aware of the injustice of bullying.

Skills Celebration Day (Jum iċ-Ċelebrazzjoni tal-Ħiliet) – 15/05/2013 – Year 4

Performance of The Pied Piper by Year 4 students:

This story is about a Pied Piper who claimed that he was capable of solving a situation of rat infestation in a small village called Hamelin. The village mayor promised  to pay him a number of gold coins if he succeeds. The Pied Piper kept his promise and managed to relieve the village from all the rats, but the same cannot be said of the mayor as he did not give the promised gold coins to the Pied Piper. In revenge the Pied Piper took away all the children of the village and nobody ever saw or heard of them again.

This great performance by Year 4 students was supported by their teacher Ms Angelique Attard.
