The year 3.1 students were learning about scientists and what they do. They learned about the Scientific process and took part in an investigation. We posed a question and designed an experiment to find out the answer. The question posed was: How can we tell if an egg we need to cook is fresh or not? The students predicted the outcome of the experiment and then, we tested our hypotheses. We got a container and filled it with water. We placed two eggs in the container and checked whether they floated or sank. If the egg floated, it was past its prime but if the egg sank, it was still fresh! Our eggs sank 🙂
Whilst learning about the five senses, the year 3.1 students took part in different investigations. The students paid attention to different sounds and observed pictures to talk about them, thus using their sense of hearing as well as that of sight.
They used their sense of touch to determine what different objects, placed one at a time, in a feely bag were. Their sense of smell was put to the test when their eyes were covered and asked to smell different objects and guess what they were. Finally, they used their sense of taste to taste different things and determine what they were.
Today we kicked off the day thinking of all the people who are suffering from terminal illness and of the relatives who suffer so much in silence. A dress down day was organised to raise funds for Hospice Malta and also to support the less fortunate in the Philippines. Sr Ceilia Agius Vadala and Sr Annie Catania from the Sisters of St. Dorothy’s visited the school and shared their missionary experience in the Philippines. €648 were gathered on this special occasion. Heartfelt thanks to all 🙂
The Green Club, run by Ms Rodgers, Assistant head, are all hands on deck preparing to launch another campaign at school to promote waste reduction and separation of waste. Students paint used boxes which are given to every class to throw away paper in, thus encouraging waste separation and recycling.
Today’s Math lesson was about flat shapes and their properties. First students had a presentation where they had to try and guess the name of the hidden flat shape. Then students had time to discuss the properties of the various shapes. Finally they had the opportunity to engage in hands-on experience using geoboards to construct and investigate the properties of plane shapes.
