Children started learning about capacity. They learnt new vocabulary related to the topic: full and empty, nearly empty, half full, half empty and nearly empty. They were give containers and were asked to fill them up in different amounts, and put them in order.
Children were then asked to get their containers from home. They could clearly identify that not all containers hold the same amount of water due to the size of the container.

In our class, children are learning new letters and vocabulary in English. They often participate in games and activities which enhance their learning activities. In this activity children matched a picture card to the corresponding initial letter written on bottle caps.
In another game the children played a memory game where they needed to match the letter/word to the corresponding picture. They also played a board game where they are asked to read words and they were also asked to find words starting with particular letter from a given book.

Children learnt that preparing healthy treats can be easy! For these banana cookies, they only needed to mash a banana and add some oats. Then, they added some raising and cinnamon. They left the mixture to sit for about 10 minutes and rolled the mixture into balls. These were flattened out and put them in the oven.

A Road Safety Awareness Day was organised at our school by the Health and Safety Teachers together with the Civil Protection Department, Police Force and Transport Malta.
The year 6 students s walked to school from Kastell Zamitello, escorted by road Police and marshalls.
Prior to this event the students were given a map of the Mgarr and they had to plan a safe route to walk to school taking into consideration any safety precautions that are to be taken.
The year 4 to year 6 students had several workshops. Above students can be seen on a bus for talks held by Transport Malta personnel. The talks were about passenger safety on a bus.
A fire engine was brought to school by the Civil Protection Department and demonstrations were held for students in the school yard.
The Police Forces held interesting talks for students about road safety and the use of the emergency number 112 (which must always be used responsibly!)
Students were also given a quiz, using tablets, about road safety and how one should behave him/herself on the road.
Finally the students had another workshop about road safety and what one can do in the event of a bicycle accident. This incident was simulated and students were given a demonstration about First Aid and assistance that can be given.
