Maths Clocks and Right Angles

Students enjoyed a Maths game. Flashcards of numbers from 1 to 12 were placed in the middle of the classroom to represent the clock. The students acted as the clock hand and were given instructions by the others to face a number.

They were then given instructions with right angles or degrees to turn either clockwise or anticlockwise (e.g. Turn 120° or 1 2/3 right angles) and if they faced the correct number, their group was awarded points.

This game helped a lot since the students themselves became an involved part of the activity and were put in the ‘middle’ of the lesson.

A Quizizz activity on the tablets was then carried after as a consolidation of the lesson.

Professional Training for Members of Staff

On going training for members of staff ensures the provision of a sound education for students. Early years focused in using the environment as a third educator focusing on the emergent curriculum. Yr 3 to Yr 6 discussed problem solving, journaling and challenges faced in numeracy, together with Assessment for Learning and continuous assessment. LSEs were given a refresher on basic First Aid.

eTwinning Activity at Ta’ Ħaġrat Temples

The Year 6.2 students are participating in an eTwinning project with students from San Lawrenz, Gozo. An activity was carried out with Ms Laura Schembri, the digital literacy support teacher this morning, at Ta Ħaġrat Temples.
The students used their tablets and QR codes to find clues and information about these temples. It was great fun and the children participated eagerly.
The children had already done some research about the site prior to the activity and were well-prepared 🙂
