No ants were visible, however the KGE asked her students to make mask of ants and the children pretended to be ants while waiting for transport to take them back to school.

Marathon Walk at Buskett Gardens

Beating all odds today the Year 3, 4, 5, and 6 students walked along the Dingli cliffs to Buskett Gardens.  Beating strong winds, the students gave their utmost to reach their destination.

Although the weather was very challenging, the students and members of staff still managed the make the best of the day.Seeing happy faces on students was the most rewarding experience. Once at Buskett Gardens students finished their fieldwork which was prepared by their class teachers.

They also enjoyed their lunches surrounded by nature in a one of the few woodlands of our island.

The younger students from K2 to Year 2 walked along the woodlands and had hands on activities related to Dinja Waħda projects and science.

The older students had some time for orienteering and also enjoyed venturing around the woods and having a go at tree climbing.

Well done to all… Special thanks to the peripatetic teachers, Ms Rebecca Bonello, Ms Pauline Gingell, Ms Speranza Spiteri and the complementary teacher,  Ms Cora Calleja, for coming forward 🙂

Finally, special thanks to Ms Borg Vella, assistant head, for organising the smooth running of transport.

Baa! Baa! A milking they come…

The K1.1 students of Ms Josianne had a very interesting lesson prepared by Ms Semira Camenzuli, student teacher, during her teaching practice. Ms Sharon invited a farmer who visited our school. During his visit he spoke to the children on how sheep are taken care of and what is involved in the process of milking sheep.

A model was prepared and students had a go at pretend play by “milking” the model. This session helped students to appreciate that milk, and other milk products, go through a long process before they can be enjoyed.

Well done to Ms Camenzuli.  The school shall miss you 🙂
