During one of our vocabulary lessons, the year 3.1 students listened to clues in order to determine which sport the clue was referring to. Then, they programmed the Beebot to move it onto the correct sport picture card.

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!

The year 3.1 students have been learning about verbs in the past tense. They learned about regular verbs as well as irregular verbs in the past tense. To consolidate their knowledge of past tense verbs, all the students participated in an activity whereby the teacher chose a flashcard bearing a verb in the present tense and a student at random was asked to state the past tense of the verb, find the flashcard with that verb under the Bee Bot mat and press the proper commands on the Bee Bot so that it moved on the correct past tense verb. Everyone enjoyed using the Bee Bot!

The Yr 1.2 students of Ms Marilyn participated in the national code week by using the Bee-bot. During this session the students learnt how to control this special robot while revising numbers, quantities, directions and shapes.
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.
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 K1.5 students have been cooking a fruit-a-licious healthy breakfast cup which included strawberry yogurt, plain cereal and fresh strawberries. Apart from promoting a healthy lifestyle, the students had the opportunity to learn about different colours, textures and tastes, while enhancing their find motor skills.
During a maths activity the students used the Bee-bot to learn number. Bee-bot is a robot which moves forwards, backwards, turns right and left depending on the instructions it is given by the students 🙂
The students of Ms Marilyn Bugeja of 1.2 have been having a whale of a time lately learning with the use of technology. The teacher has endeavored on an ambitious project using the school interactive white board, Ms PowerPoint presentations, Bee-Bot activities, activities found on the internet and a number of games away from the computer for the students to get a wonderful session of hand-on experience about subtraction. Learning has never stopped being fun in this busy classroom.
Below is a video of this wonderful session which the students will treasure for life!
