The students of Ms Joanne Galea of K1.1 have been exploring about symmetry while having fun with paint. Exposing students to these experiences from a very early age, helps them to develop a keen interest in their surroundings and also makes them question why things are the way they are, enhancing their reasoning skills.
As an introduction to the English writing lesson: “How to write good instructions”, the Yr 5.2 students were asked to prepare their own delicious sandwiches.
Following this activity and after a brief explanation by the teacher, students did an interactive whiteboard activity where they were asked to arrange the muddled instructions on how to wrap a present in the correct order.
By the end of the lesson students were able to write the instructions on how to make a delicious sandwich, using bossy verbs and time connectives.
This made learning more fun 🙂

The K1.1 students of Ms Joanne Galea have been busy learning about the topic “Myself”. To complement this topic the students painted an outline drawing of a girl or a boy using pink and blue paint. Apart from enhancing their fine motor skills, the students had the opportunity to learn about themselves and about colours.
Finally the students cleaned their tables to enhance their own sense of personal care and that of taking care of others’ belongings 🙂

There is considerable evidence to show that in summer, students may lose some of the educational gain made during the previous school year. One of the ways of combatting this setback is by encouraging Summer Reading. In view of this the Ministry for Education and Employment has embarked on an intensive campaign: Aqra fis-Sajf to promote Summer Reading. This will be a collaborative campaign by the National Literacy Agency, the Foundation for Educational Services, Malta Libraries and the Directorates of Education.
In this regard access to books is crucial. Arrangements have been made for the extended library opening times of regional and school libraries. A wide range of reading activities for children and their parents will be held during the Skolasajf programme and in libraries through the Aqra Miegħi/Read with Me, Seħer l-Istejjer/The Magic of Stories and Reading Ambassadors Programmes of the National Literacy Agency.
The facts are as follows. Research shows that:
Here are some guidelines for parents/caregivers:

The Kindergarten students have found an optimal way to beat the heat of the summer sun. Children were taken outside in the school yard where they played a number of water games and had a whale of a time with their classmates 🙂
Today Ms Haber and her team visited our school to continue the 2nd phase of the clay tiles being done to create a mural with the theme “Under the Sea”.
The students and their teachers had to paint their tiles using special paint. The tiles will be taken back for 2 more baking processes. We look forward to seeing the end results.
Teachers’ quote: “Our treasures”. We look forward to having these treasured displayed at school. Well done to all for making this project come true. Special thanks to the school council for funding this project 🙂
At school we work hard to promote environment awareness. Students are busy collected used batteries and disposing of them responsibly by making use of the special battery bins available at school.
Batteries contain very harmful chemicals which, if dispersed in the environment, cause a lot of damage. So if you have any used batteries bring them over to school and help us in keeping a cleaner, healthier environment.
Thank you 🙂
