Kull filgħodu malli nqumu

Qed nistaqsu ‘kemm ha ndumu?’

Forsi nilbsu dik l-uniformi

Blu u oranġjo li tgħaddili ommi

L-iskola aħna qed nimmisjaw

L-Ms Nag u l-Ms Maria nixtiequ naraw

Nisperaw li l-iskola nerġgħu mmorru

U żgur filgħodu mhux ser nibqgħu ngorru

Qawsalli u minn kollox aħna pinġejna

Naqra tisjir u anki żfin ħejjejna

Mixja fil-kampanja morna waħedna

Ngħoddu l-bebbux u ngħidu xi kelma

Illum l-ahhar ta’ staġun Xitwi

Għas-sajf nitolbu li jiġi x’jiġri

Forsi dal-virus jitlaq l’hemm

Ha noħorġu l’barra u ngħidu Amen!

On Friday 7th February Kindergarten Class 2.3 were lucky to visit ‘Charms Pet Grooming Salon’ at Mgarr. This was a good opportunity which was linked to the theme about dogs of the emergent curriculum. With the help of Ms Dorianne Micallef the kids enjoyed a short walk to and from school and the salon. When we arrived we were greeted by Ms Charmaine Martin, the owner of the salon. She showed the grooming salon to the kids and also gave them some rules. The kids had a good time watching an African grey (parrot) which danced and kissed her owner. Later the kids were able to see the groomer taking care of a dog and she checked for swelling and parasites on the skin. The kids loved a Chow Chow dog named Sophie. They had the occasion to feel its fur. When the groomer washed her, the kids had turns to dry her up. We thanked Ms Charmaine Martin for her hospitality in her salon and also the dogs owner.
