A meeting was held for parents of students in Year 4 regarding the use of tablets. The session was delivered by our eLearning Support Teacher, Ms Laura Schembri. The aim of this session was to inform parents about how tablets are used as a tool to enhance teaching and learning. It also provided parents with an opportunity to bring forward any queries or difficulties that their children may have encountered.
The Kindergarten students had a very positive experience at the Fire Station. The students met the fire fighters who, on a daily basis, help out the locals in moments of distress. Apart from getting to know what the job of a fire fighter entails, the students had the opportunity to ride on the fire truck, see the fire fighters using a water hose and Ms Janice, one of our KGs, had the guts to climb onto the fire truck’s extended ladder. All members of staff had words of praise for the way the fire fighters explained things to our young students. The school take this opportunity to thank the fire fighters for their work and for their hospitality!

Carnival 2017 was celebrated in style with the help of the School Council and parent helpers. This year, the show was animated and prepared by the parents. The parents prepared a dance which the students adored. Then every year group from kinder to year 6 had to dance to music according to the choreography prepared by parents. Finally all members of staff were invited to dance one final dance before closing the show with the Maltese Carnival Hymn, Viva Viva l-Karnival.
The school would like to thank the all the parent helpers and the School Council members for ensuring the success of such an event 🙂

The Year 3.2 students have been learning about opposites. To consolidate what they had been learning during the previous weeks and this week the students participated in an activity. The class was divided into four groups, each group was given a set of flashcards. In turns, a member from each group had to pick up a flashcard, read it and then point to the opposite flashcard underneath the Bee-Bot mat. Next, they had to give the proper commands to the Bee-Bot so that it could reach the correct opposite. Students had lots of fun!

On Friday 17th February, the two Year 3 classes carried out the Social Studies fieldwork entitled Madwar l-Iskola Tagħna. The pupils started the fieldwork at school as they had to answer questions about it. After, both classes observed the streets surrounding the school. Amongst other things students had to write down what they could see in these streets, observe the vehicles passing from a busy street and mark down the shops one can find at the local square.
Finally, students had to answer questions about the local playing field. There they also had a well deserved break.

The Yr 1.2 students of Ms Marilyn prepared some delicious pizza wraps. Students were given a variety of ingredients and choose their selected topics. Students also discussed the importance of avoiding the consumption of processed food on a daily basis and discussed alternative ways for making a pizza topping healthier. They also learned about the basics of hygiene and the importance of wearing an apron and washing up hands before touching food to avoid contamination.
Last week the year 1 classes of Ms Marilyn and Ms Louse joined forces during a PE lesson. Four different stations were set and the main focus was jumping. The children had a great time jumping on the large bouncing balls and trampolines! These activities also help to build a sense of balance and coordination. Physical Education is essential to activate the brain and help students concentrate during lessons.
