English Oracy Activity Yr 6.1
Mr L Mizzi.
All students in Class 6.1 participated in English Oracy activity speaking about How to take care of your pet or plant…. Denzel Bonnici spoke about his pet dog Cooper.
Unplugged Activities
Ms Rebecca Bonello, our PE teacher, used a collection of free teaching material to teach Computer Science through engaging games and puzzles. Cards with numbers and commands were used. #physicaleducationthroughcoding
Cross-Curricular Activities in Year 6.2
Mr Matthew Cassar used Crafts combined with Maths.
In the first lesson, students had to create a Factor House where the factors of a given number were represented as windows while the multiple was drawn on the roof. This activity helps the students remember better what Factors are and give better examples.
Another activity about Equivalent Fractions was carried out. The students created a jigsaw puzzle where equivalent fractions were drawn on each piece. This helps the students build a connection between equivalent fractions and a jigsaw puzzle- as they are all equal and thus they all fit together as one.
Teaching and learning at Mġarr Primary School is fun for all. Well done to our educators.
Activity for CODE WEEK – Year 6.2
At SNC Mġarr Primary School, we are are working to have systematically creative, active and collaborative learners. In Year 6.2, this was achieved by getting the students to help each other to learn and play through the shared language of LEGO Story Starters. LEGO can be used to help join logic and reasoning with creativity, and provide children with the opportunity to build the things they see in the real world, experiment with their surroundings and get hands-on with their environment. LEGO play and learning sets are just the job for helping children learn more about the communities they live in.
Mr Matthew Cassar gave his students the opportunity to use Lego Story Starters to create an image of the story they were going to write about in their creative writing task. The Lego packs helped the students formulate their ideas better while building a word bank of adjectives related to their story at the same time. Teaching and learning is fun for our students.
eTwinning Closure with San Lawrenz Gozo
Reply
The Year 6.2 students celebrated a year of eTwinning with their partners from San Lawrenz. The projects closure was done at Ġnejna Bay with a fantastic canoeing session and swimming. The students then returned to the school for a healthy lunch and ice-cream. It has been a very enriching learning experience for the year 6 students of both schools.
Special thanks to Ms Sharon D’Amico (teacher), Ms Doreen Abela (LSE), Ms Chanelle (Teacher) and Mr Saviour Tabone (Assistant Head).

More from Literacy Week
The children of 6.2 had to record themselves reading a story or poem, in English or Maltese. Then, they shared their tablets with their classmates who could hear the story being read using their headphones. It was great fun learning to read for an audience!

Literacy Day… creativity, technology and more!
The students were grouped and asked to create a story with characters they created using recycled material (e.g. paper plates, cereal boxes etc.).
Photos were taken using the tablets and the stories were presented in the form of a digital story using various different types of writing strategies (e.g. dialogues, instructions, story, note, directions etc.).

eTwinning between San Lawrenz Primary and Mgarr Primary School
The Year 6.2 students had a fantastic etwinning experience in Gozo between 22nd and 23rd April.
The students met their etwinners from San Lawrenz Primary School during this cultural exchange.
The programme was jam packed with fun, culture, history and new friendships.
The students stayed in Manresa house. On arriving in Gozo they visited the Cittadella, Folklore museum, the Cathedral, silos and battery shelters.
They proceeded to the natural history museum and the Ċitadella Visitors’ Centre where they saw a captivating documentary about Gozitan History. After they visited the dry moat, narrow streets in Il Manderaggio, saw an exhibition of Good Friday Statues, Don Bosco Oratory and the cemetery of the Crusades. Finally they visited Lunzjata Valley and its chapel built on a cliff side. Before retreating for the day, they had supper at House Manresa. After supper the students went to Ta Marziena and enjoyed Munxar’s open gym, then proceeded towards Sannat passing through Ġnien is-Sultan before going back to the dormitories.
On the second day the students visited Ġgantija Temples, Ta’ Kola Windmill, Xerri’s Grotto (famous for its stalactites and stalagmites), Ta’ Karmni’s Museum and finally off to Dwejra where student enjoyed a wonderful boat ride, corals, cliffs and deep blue waters.
