During a Maltese lesson the students participated in an activity related to verbs in the Past Perfect. Different cards were given and the students had to sort them according to colour. After doing so, they were asked to put the words in order to form sentences in the past tense in order to observe the way the verbs were written.

During one of the Language lessons, the year 5.2 students of Ms Sharon Calleja talked about the present continuous. The learning intention was clearly displayed on the board and the class talked about what the present continuous and when it is used. A powerpoint followed to help students understand this topic better. The presentation served to allow students time to practise using the present continuous in the interactive exercises that followed. The students were also given flashcards with different verbs written on them. Each verb displayed on the flashcard was changed to the present continuous and that verb was then presented in a sentence created by the students themselves.
A class activity followed where the students had to work in groups. The teacher gave each group a picture. The students observed the picture attentively and wrote several sentences using the present continuous, based on what they were seeing. Finally, each group presented their work to the rest of the class.
