Caring for others is an essential part of our lives. Students, from a very tender age, need to learn the importance of caring for other. Hospice Malta is a voluntary organisation that helps elderly people and patients suffering from serious illnesses.

A session was held at our school to promote awareness about this voluntary organisation. The main aim was to pass an important message… Do not abandon your elderly or sick people. They are the ones who mostly need your companionship.

A Visit to the Old Capital

Mdina01

On Monday 30th March 2015, the eve of the Easter holidays, the two Year 5 classes paid a visit to Malta’s old capital city, Mdina. Apparently many other schools had the same idea as we encountered quite a few groups of students in Mdina and its surroundings, as well as a multitude of tourists.

Yet we did have enough time and space to explore this city and its fabulous treasures. We walked up and down many of the narrow and winding streets and spacious squares, stopping here and there to admire the various churches and palaces, amongst which the magnificent St. Paul’s Cathedral and the most interesting National Museum of Natural History hosted inside Vilhena Palace, which we inspected from top to bottom. We passed through the city’s three entry gates and observed the splendid view from atop the bastions. As we were during Holy Week we also visited a Good Friday Statues Exhibition at St. Agatha’s Chapel. Once again we had a very positive and enlightening school outing.

Jum l-Ilma

It-22 ta’ Marzu kien il-Jum Dinji ddedikat għall-Ilma.

It-tfal tal-ewwel sena ta’ Ms Marilyn Bugeja (Yr 1.2) tkellmu u ddiskutew metodi dwar kif nistgħu nibżgħu għall-ilma. It-tfal identifikaw diversi metodi, fosthom li jgħalqu l-vit meta ma jkollhomx bżonn l-ilma, jew jinħaslu f’eqsar ħin. Huma tgħallmu ukoll dwar l-użu tal-bjar fid-djar tagħna.

It-tfal għamlu preżentazzjoni qasira quddiem it-tfal tal-iskola billi qraw poeżija miktuba minn Sra. Rita Tabone (Skola Primarja Floriana) u wara kantaw kanzunetta qasira dwar li nibżgħu għall-ambjent ta’ madwarna.

When learning about time, the year 1.2 students of Ms Marilyn Bugeja were given the opportunity to work together to practice what they knew. They had fun in finding the required clock faces, drawing the hands of the clock and reading the time.

Apart from identifying and drawing clock hands they also practised other group skills!

Observing Rainbow Colours

bubbles

After talking about the rainbow and its colours, the year 1.2 students of Ms Marilyn Bugeja were engaged in creating soap bubbles. Following this activity, the students were asked to observe the different colours in each bubble.

The children enjoyed creating soap bubbles but were very happy when the sun came out and they could observe all the rainbow colours in their bubbles.

Hands on capacity!

The year 1.2 students of Ms Marilyn Bugeja  were learning about different amounts of water in the different cups. After talking about the different amounts in different containers, children were asked to fill a number of cups and then, putting them in order starting from the cup holding most to the cup holding the least amount of water.

The Year 1.2 students of Ms Marilyn Bugeja, together with the help of their LSA Ms Josphine Galea, have been busy sowing tomatoes in the school garden. Spring is the time when nature is in full bloom.

Students had the opportunity to learn about how seeds grow and the major elements needed for a plant to grow strong and health. These include air, water, sun and minerals from the soil.

The year 4 students of Ms Kylie Said and Ms Angelique Attard prepared an Easter dessert on their last day of school. The dessert was made from cereals, marshmallows and chocolate. The desserts were made into the shape of Easter Eggs.

The students worked very well together and helped each other out to complete their task. Such activities enhance the students’ socialising skills and skills for life.

Our students had the opportunity to meet volunteers from the Hospice Awareness Movement. Hospice volunteers work with great dedication with people who suffer from terminal illness. The aim of this session was to pass on a very important message to our students – that of not abandoning people who are very sick. These people need a lot of comfort and encouragement by their friends and loved ones.

Hospice

A money box was given to each student to collect money. The money will be passed on to Hospice after the Easter Holidays. To commemorate this event the students will be sowing sun flower seeds in the school garden.
