Enhancing Thinking Skills Through Maths
The Maths lesson was about adding and subtracting decimals. The students were split into 4 groups and they had to work in stations. After 15 minutes each group changed station.
Station 1: The students were given a set of cards to create numbers with. They were then to add or subtract the numbers (according to their own choice) and then compare answers. A decimal point had to be used!
Station 2: The students were given a Number Search where they were given different adding or subtracting decimal sums and then asked to find the answer in the sheet.
Station 3: The students were given a Crack the Code activity. Each letter represented a digit from 0 to 9. They had to find the answers and solve the sums.
Station 4: Classwork from the Maths Textbook related to the particular lesson.
Modifications: Another crack the code was planned just in case students finished early. Students were asked to create their own sums from the number search in case they finished early as well. An easier Crack the Code and Number Search was also provided for students who found it difficult.

Literacy Activity involving listening to instructions to make a toast and hot chocolate…
The students were also involved in watching a short video clip about the origin of chocolate and answering questions about it thus enhancing their listening and comprehension skills.
Finally they proceeded to write instructions for making hot chocolate (in English) and toast (in Maltese) using the correct step-by-step way of doing so.
While working on their literacy activity, the students enjoyed at hot cuppa!!!

TIP – Teach, Inspire, Protect… An Erasmus+ Journey Begins…
The first transnational meeting of a new partnership in the project Teach, Inspire, Protect (TIP) kicked off with a tree planting event at Salina Nature Reserve. This is a 3 year partnership between Birdlife Malta, the Ministry of Education and Employment (MEDE), Learning Through Landscapes UK, Birdlife Spain, Innovative and Creative (INAK) Slovakia and our school.
All partners introduced themselves with presentations following a planning session with regards to the way forward with the project.
The second day was an intensive day during which intellectual outputs were discussed. The school would like to thank the Mayor, Mr Paul Vella, for taking our guests onsite at Ta’ Ħaġrat Temples in the beautiful locality of Mġarr.

Green Club at Work…
Green Club members planted medlars (naspli) in the school garden from seeds of the trees found at school. We hope to embellish the school garden with more trees, while learning about the importance of trees in providing the earth with fresh air.
