The Yr 2.2 students of Ms Stephanie have been busy working on various aspects. In the photos students can be seen working with numbers by ordering using a number line, making a plant collage to learn about the different parts of a plant, working in groups to learn new vocabulary and doing Show & Tell about their family or their favorite animal.
The Yr 5.2 students of Ms Melanie, together with their LSA, Ms Josette, were learning about occupations. During the lesson students were divided in 2 groups and had to programme Bee-Bot to reach the correct destination after being presented with a situation. The students had to first write the code that was to be instructed for Bee-Bot to reach his goal. Then, after inputting the code, they had to make sure that the destination, based on their calculations, was reached.
The school organised a dress down day to raise funds for Hospice Malta. Volunteers perform voluntary work with patients and support them with their needs. We would like to thank all the students for having raised €350 🙂
The yr 3.1 students of Ms Sharon working out sums on their mini whiteboards. During this lesson students talked about adding 10 to a 1 digit and 2 digit number. The teacher made use of an interactive grid on the Interactive Whiteboard and chose a number at random. The children wrote the number down on the mini whiteboard and then added 10.
The Yr 3.1 student of Ms Sharon learning about syllables during Maltese Language lesson. The children were divided in groups. Each group was given a different set of 10 picture cards and 10 words. Their task was to read the words and then, match them to the correct picture. After circulating each group to assess their work, the children’s attention was focused on the coloured parts on each of the word cards. Syllables were discussed followed by further practice.
Above one can see the K1.1 students of Ms Joanne having fun with technology… Our little robot, Bee-Bot is out for a ride with the students. Bee-bot helps students to learn directions and counting, among many other things. Below students are having a whale of time in the newly furbished playing area. Special thanks to FTS (Foundation for Tomorrow’s Schools) and to Ms Borg Vella, assistant head, who was instrumental in making this project another dream come true 🙂
The K1.1 students of Ms Joanne have been learning about colours in the past weeks. Above students are cutting small squares of various colours and then mounting them to form a collage. Below students are painting papers plates in blue. Not only are students learning about colours by they are enhancing their fine motor skills while learning how to handle a scissors and having fun 🙂
This week the Yr 3.1 students, of Ms Sharon Calleja, have been learning abut money during Maths. The children learned about the different coins of the Euro currency. They were involved in several hands-on activities and group work to help them understand the concept of money. 
One of the activities involved the students counting an amount of money given in a purse. The students had to count the coins and give the correct total.
The second activity was a group investigation, called “How many coins make …?” Different groups were given different amounts of money and asked to find out how many coins made that amount. (For example, how many 10c coins make €1? How many 50c coins make €1? How many 1c coins make 50c? How many 5c coins make 50c? and so on). Each group was also given specimen coins so as to find the required amounts by handling tangible objects. 
Above are the Year 3.2 students of Ms Sharon Calleja during a group work activity. The children were learning about pairs to 10. After explaining pairs to 10 with interlocking cubes, students were divided in groups. Each group had to discuss and write down all the pairs to 10.
