Three students proudly presenting certificates awarded by the Karate Sensai. These students attend Karate lessons after school hours. Such sessions allow students to be more self disciplined, while keeping fit 🙂
The year 1 students have embarked on a creative project. This project is being funded through the school council. Every student was to prepare a clay tile. The students went to the Alka Ceramics work shop where they had the opportunity to see how a clay can be transformed into beautiful works of art by Ms Haber.
Following the tour, the students started their work. The theme chosen was “Under the Sea”. Every student was give a clay tile to work on and they had to create their own underwater scene.
The tiles had to be baked in the special urn and work will be continued at a later date at school since the tiles have to be painted and then glazed and cooked again. The tiles will finally be mounted in the school corridors.
The Year 2 students have just received their first Holy Communion. For Christians believers this is a very important milestone. To commemorate this event a mass was organised at school by the Yr 2 teacher and the school council.
May you cherish this day forever!
The Year 6 students had a very interesting robotics workshop organised by the our eLearning support teacher, Ms Laura Schembri, together with the eLearning centre support team.
The students had the opportunity to build their own Lego robots. The robots were connected to a laptop and they had to be programmed to do particular movements.
With the help of this workshop the students had the opportunity to work in pairs or in groups, build their own robots by following a set of instructions and then work out a programme using the LEGO WEDO software.
One can tell from happy faces of the students that this was a very interesting workshop, where students had the opportunity to learn by doing.
Special thanks to the eLearning support team 🙂
All good things come to an end… Our year 6 students will soon be proceeding to middle school. Their journey at our school ends, but ahead of them is a long road which will hopefully lead them to reaching their goals and dreams. To bid our year 6 students farewell, the teachers took them for a bowling session where they had the time to relax and chill out with their friends after the benchmark exams.
On behalf of the staff at Mgarr Primary School we wish you all the best of luck for the future 🙂
The Kindergarten students of Ms Joanne Galea and Ms Janice Vella are gearing up for summer. Who does not like a dip in the sea in the the hot summer months? However, from a very early age, students must learn to take the necessary precautions.
The session kicked off by applying sunblock before going out in the sun. Students were asked to bring sun glasses, a hat or cap and a beach towel. The students then proceeded to the playing area. Beach towels were spread all over the place, an umbrella was secured in place, all had ample water to drink and all were ready to spend a “day at the beach”.
During this activity students pretended to go diving and learnt about the use of goggles and fins. They later went for a boat ride and they had to paddle themselves to safety away from a curious shark.
The session ended by having a story read to the children “The Shark in the Park”. Students really enjoyed this session, while learning how to protect themselves from the harmful rays of the sun 🙂
The Kindergarten students of Ms Maria Debono have been painting circles in yellow. Such activities help students to develop their numeracy skills and fine motor skills… We will have to wait for more photos to see the final product 😉
The Kindergarten students of Ms Josianne Camilleri have been putting their fine motor skills at work, while creating a very effective collage of an octopus using cork printing. Moreover, this session served to make students aware of some of the beautiful marine creatures that live in our seas.
