Pubblikazzjonijiet
Waqt l-aħħar lezzjoni tal-iStudju Soċjali, l-istudenti tas-Sena 4.1 analizzaw rivisti differenti – kollha pubblikazzjonijiet Maltin. Huma nqassmu fi gruppi u għamlu riċerka dwar min ippublikahom, kemm fihom paġni, kemm fihom riklami, min kiteb l-artkli u dwar xiex kienu. Fl-aħħar nett, huma iddiskutew dwar artiklu li kieku setgħu jiktbu huma fuq xi waħda minn dawn ir-rivisti. Prosit ħafna lit-tfal kollha!
Anti-Bullying Week
This week it was Anti-Bullying Week. To commemorate this, the students of Ms Lewis in Year 4.1 prepared a special assembly encouraging each individual to believe in themselves and know that they are WORTHY! The children thoroughly enjoyed preparing for this assembly and had an amazing time performing it in front of all their school mates. A very big well done! 🤝#bbrave #antibullyingweek #changestartswithus
Book Fair
It was a wonderful day spent at the Book Fair held at MCC Valletta. All the students of Year 4.1 thoroughly enjoyed this experience and they were extremely excited to purchase their own books. Each child was given a wrist band and a voucher to use during the event. They were also shown a performance by fantastic actors! All in all, it was a great outing through which they continued to enrich their love for books! Ms Lewis
Different Leaves
Year 4.1 learnt about the different types of leaves during their latest science lesson. They also learnt why leaves fall in the autumn season and why they change their colour. Some trees never shed their leaves and are called ‘evergreen’. The students collected leaves and these are now beautifully displayed in the school corridor! Well done. Ms Lewis 🍂🍁🍃
