Students had pictorial investigations of different equivalent fractions. They had to find out which fractions were equivalent. The pictorial representations helped them to observe that although the numerators and denominators were different from each other they represented the same value or proportion of the whole. Students then worked in groups to join different equivalent fractions together.

Congratulations to Thea Sammut who is in Yr 4.2 for winning the competition by creating the best poster about Cyber Security using her tablet at Esplora Interactive Science Centre. Well done 🙂
The Year 4 classes visited fort Saint Angelo. Students watched a play about reading which was prepared by popular Maltese actors. After lunch, students had time to walk along Fort St Angelo while stopping at some points to listen to the guided tour. Students had such a good time admiring the views of the Grand Harbour and learned many historical and geographical facts.

The year 4 classes went for a Maths trail at San Anton garden. Students had fun doing Maths concepts outside the classroom. Students were encouraged and motivated to investigate problem-solving situations. They also had the opportunity to discover Maths application in the real world.
The year 4 students had the experience of a life time watching the release of turtles which were being taken care of by Nature Trust during rehabilitation.
An anti-plastic campaign followed the turtle release. Students were engaged in fieldwork including filtering sand to find plastic particles.
The school would like to thank the Mayor, Mr Paul Vella, for offering this opportunity for our students. This will surely be a day to remember 🙂
For their Social Studies Fieldwork both Year 4 classes went around Mġarr and observed different areas while answering questions on their fieldwork booklet. Both students and teachers enjoyed it to the full 😊

Students have learnt about halves, quarters, thirds and eights. After sharing the learning outcomes and the success criteria, students had a presentation where they had to identify which shapes are divided into equal parts, and the fraction of each part being shaded. During group work the students had to divide their shapes into equal parts and shade their parts according to the fraction being told.

Students were given the opportunity to share some information with the class about something they like or love and to share information about their favourite book. Some students prepared a presentation while others made posters and charts. I really enjoyed listening to each and every one of you! Well done!

Students used their tablet to play a quiz on Kahoot. This was done during a Social Studies lesson where children had questions about weather conditions. Students enjoyed it very much 🙂
