During another number of Mathematics lessons, the year 3.1 students learned how to subtract 10 and other multiples of 10 from a 2-digit number. The students enjoyed watching songs and videos about this topic as well as participating in hands-on activities to take 10 away from a 2-digit number. In the photos they are seen participating in four different grouped rotating activities during our final lesson about this topic.

The year 3.1 students were learning about different subtraction strategies during different Mathematics lessons. They subtracted numbers by counting back as well as by counting on. The topic was introduced with concrete situations involving hands-on activities. The students later moved on to pictorial representations of taking away and finally, they practiced the abstract part of subtracting number sums. In the photos they are seen using interlocking cubes to help them work out subtraction sums.

Year 3.1 students are seen participating in an activity in groups. This was done as part of their Listening and Speaking lesson which was integrated with Literature. The students were given a set of pictures depicting the story The Fox and the Crow. They were asked to observe and discuss what the pictures depicted. Then, the students put the pictures in chronological order according to their observations and discussion. Finally, the students listened to the actual story and checked the order of their pictures to determine if their ordered matched the order in the story.

As part of their Social Studies learning programme as well as Continuous Assessment, the year 3.1 students took part in a fieldwork inside our school, around the school as well as in places of interest in Mġarr.
The students enjoyed listening to sounds around them, noting different types of buildings, fields and rubble walls, comparing a noisy street to a quiet one, observing and talking about different types of shops found in Mġarr as well as the church and patron saint, a recreational area for children in Mġarr and observing different cars that passed in a particular street and recording the information gathered in their fieldwork booklet.
It was truly a wonderful educational experience which was enjoyed by the students and teachers as well!

The school hosted Mr Preca, husband of her Excellency, the President of Malta, Ms Coleiro Preca. Mr Preca visited the school to officially launch the Piggy Bank Campaign and L-Istrina 2018. The school would like to thanks the parents for their generous donations which amounted to €615.
Above are students working on an painting which was presented to Mr Preca on this occasion.
During this activity the Kindergarten children painted a big cardboard box in red which was transformed into a letter box. On the next day they drew a picture which was placed inside a self addressed envelope. That same evening the letters were posted by the KGE in a real letter box!
The children were very excited when 2 days later they received their letter at home. A week later students received letters at school addressed to the children, thanks to the parents cooperation.
