Waqt il-lezzjonijiet tal-lingwa tal-Malti, it-tfal tat-tielet klassi ta’ Ms Calleja tgħallmu dwar is-singular u l-plural. 

Huma tgħallmu li biex nagħmlu l-plural ta’ xi kliem, hemm bżonn li nżidu xi ittri fuq wara tal-kelma (plural sħiħ). Eżempju: klassi-klassijiet. 

L-istudenti tgħallmu wkoll li xi kliem jinbidel meta naqilbuhom fil-plural (plural miksur). Eżempju: mejda-mwejjed.

Bħalma jsir fil-lezzjonijiet kollha, it-tfal tgħallmu dwar is-singular u l-plural b’mezzi differenti sabiex jintlaħqu l-abbiltajiet varji tat-tfal kollha. Fost dawn il-meżżi t-tfal raw preżentazzjoni tal-PowerPoint, raw stampi u tkellmu dwarhom, ipparteċipaw f’diskussjonijiet, ħadu sehem f’taħriġ u attivitajiet orali kif ukoll bil-kitba u lagħbu logħba bil-Beebot sabiex jirrevedu l-plural (sħiħ u miksur).

Last week the year 3.2 students were learning about magnetic and non magnetic materials during the Science lesson with their class teacher Ms Sharon Calleja. 

The children watched a video about magnetism and later they discussed the topic of magnetism with their teacher. They also carried out an experiment to determine whether certain materials are magnetic or not.

In groups, the children were given a magnet and a set of different materials, namely a plastic spoon, a 2c coin, a piece of foil, a pair of metal scissors, a metal nail and a key. First, the children had to guess if each object would be attracted to the magnet or not. Then, they had to test each object and match their prediction with what actually happened during the experiment. Finally, they recorded their results in a table, thus integrating Mathematics with our Science lesson.

Whilst revising number bonds, the year 3.2 students participated in hands on group activities. First, they practiced the number bonds with bottle caps. For instance, for the number bonds of 5, they could use the caps to represent 0 and 5, 1 and 4, 3 and 2, 5 and 0, 4 and 1 as well as 2 and 3.

Next, the students were given a set of cards with sums on them. Each group had sums of different number bonds in their pile. Their task was to work out the sum and determine to which number bond it belonged. Then, they had to record their answer on the worksheet provided. Each group exchanged their cards with the other groups until they found all the number bonds for 5, 7 and 9.

Finally, they played a board game to consolidate different number bonds. They threw a dice and uncovered a sum under that matching number on the board game. The children worked the sum out and assessed their own work instantly by revealing the answer under the sum to check if their answer was correct.

Making a sandwich

The year 3.2 students were learning about instructions. They learned that instructions tell us how to do things. They are usually numbered and written in short, simple sentences so they are easy to understand.

The students learned about sequencer words such as first, next and then. They also learned about bossy verbs like spread, put, cut and get.

After discussing how to make a jam sandwich and writing the instructions themselves, they finished the lesson by actually making a sandwich with a spread of their choice and they enjoyed eating it 😊
