Odd and Even Patterns
Students participated in a number of activities during an Odd and Even patterns lesson. The students were given a set of cards and they had to match them according to whether the answer is odd, even or never a whole number. A discussion followed, with examples. Finally an activity using money was carried out. The same patterns were explored by the students through money.

3D shapes…
These are some photos of an activity carried out with the Yr 6.1 students during a Maths lesson. The children were asked to create 3D shapes using blue tac and toothpicks. After doing so, the number of vertices, faces and edges of each 3D shape were discussed. Everyone enjoyed this activity, including the learning support educator.

Childhood Stories
During the last 2 months Mr Matthew Cassar was carrying out story telling lessons with his students. Mr Cassar read to them one of his favourite childhood books, Free Lance and the Lake of Skulls.
Now that the story is finished, a follow up reading activity will be carried out for World Book Day on the 23rd of April. The children are preparing resources from recycled material. They will act out one of their favourite scenes using these resources as props. A wheel spinner with questions related to the story will be used as reflection on the story itself.
Cooking Pizza
Students in Year 5.1 cooked a pizza during the last day of the second term. Each student prepared his or her recipe. 
According to this recipe they brought to school the ingredients and step by step they prepared the pizza. 
After confirming that the steps in the recipe were in a correct order, they published this recipe on their tablet and sent it by email to their teacher.

Outdoor Gardening
Following the installation of a water tank, large pots, an irrigation system and a shed, the students had their first go at outdoor gardening at school. Students were taught the basics required when sowing seeds and how to take care of them. A compost bin has also been installed to start preparing compost from organic waste.
An athlete in the making…

Well done Jake for this achievement 🙂
