Performance of “Iljieli Għarbin” (Arabian Nights) by Year 5 students:

Arabian Nights is a collections of stories that were written by a number of different authors along the centuries. It is said that most of these stories originated from Persia and India and later on other stories from the Middle East, Egypt and China were added to the collection. These stories used to be narrated by traders during their voyages to China to purchase silk.

The students of year 5 gave a great rendition of three popular stories, namely, Aladdin and the Magic Lamp, The Enchanted Horse and Ali Baba, but they did not tell the audience how the stories end in order to encourage them to read the stories themselves! Dr. Simone Micallef, their teacher, was the mastermind behind this performance.
