The youngest children in our school captured the spirit of summer in this frieze with strong brush stokes of vibrant blue superimposed by the outline of underwater creatures. This effect was created with plastic moulds of seahorses, starfish, crabs, lobsters and fish dipped in paint. On the beach, we have the typical fisherman and the children playing. A big yellow sun reminds us all that summer is here and that the scholastic year is over. Enjoy your summer holidays!
On Friday, 23rd April, Prize Day was held at our school. The evening’s event celebrated the children’s achievements in all aspects. One of the highlights was a play on Healthy Living. The script was written by Ms. R. Fenech, a Year 4 teacher. The music teacher took care of the choir and a whole team of teachers helped with props, lights and audio and visual effects. The result was a truely enjoyable evening.
The World Cup is on every man’s mind at the moment and in the Kindergarten classes football was the theme that inspired these Father’s Day Cards.
The teachers did not stop there, however. They prepared activities to familiarize children with the flags of their favourite teams.
By the end of the morning the children could recognize the flags of quite a good number of countries. Then small flags were fixed on the appropriate countries on a map of the world. The relative distance from Malta to these countries was indicated by coloured string.
However, it is this poem with their child’s footprint that is going to leave the most lasting impression on most fathers.
Our school is just a stone’s throw away from the National Pool at University and we make the most of that. All our pupils are taken for swimming lessons at some time during the scholastic year. This week it was the Year 4 pupils’ turn. This activity is co-ordinated by the P.E. teacher, Mr. Keith Bartolo.
Children are fascinated by nature around them. They love to listen to stories especially if they feature animals. In this activity, taken from Dinja Waħda Action Guide, children listen to the adventures of Fiks the butterfly. Then all the six Kindergarten classes make part of a giant frieze. This frieze is made from used materials like jablo, old wrapping paper, magazines and cereal boxes. Strips of plastic create a rainy effect. The final product is a kaleidoscope of colour that captures the children’s imagination.
In this Kindergarten 1 class children are being introduced to the colour black in a variety of ways. First, they shade a sheet of paper black using thick crayons. Then they cut the paper into small rectangular pieces. and make a frame. Next, comes sponge printing. Some of the children are a bit squeamish at first but soon they are sponging away in black ink and enjoying every minute of it. Black might not be the colour of choice for most children but such activities help them see it as a beautiful and versatile colour.
Today, June 8th, was a special day for our Year 2 pupils. The children came to school dressed in their First Holy Communion clothes. It was the first time they were going to receive Holy Communion together at our school. The Hall was decorated for mass and the parents of these children were invited to attend.
On Friday 28th May, four students from our school accompanied by Ms. Jahel Sammut the Assistant Head, left Malta for Rome. On this one day tour of this beautiful city there were students from the four College Primary Schools. They visited the main tourist attractions.
The tour started at the Colosseum. From there, they made their way to the Roman Forum, the Pantheon, the Altare della Patria and Castell Sant’Angelo. They admired the beautiful architecture everywhere and strolled around the various Piazze. At the Fontana di Trevi they stopped to take photos. Then they walked along the Tiber and made their way to the Vatican, where they visited the Crypt of Pope John Paul II.
The Crowning of Our Lady took place on Thursday 27th May, at our school. The Kindergarten section co-ordinated the activitiy. Many parents came to see their children take part. The stage in the school hall was decorated with flowers and a statue of the Virgin Mary was placed in the middle. Kindergarten children, carrying flowers, walked in twos up to the stage. The highlight was the crowning of Our Lady with a garland of flowers.
At the beginning of this scholastic year the College Principal asked the drama teacher, Ms. Daniella Micallef, to co-ordinate a project that would amalgamate literacy with drama. The main aim being that of involving children with different abilities in a project that has its inception in the children’s creative minds and is realized on stage by the composers themselves. During the first term Year 5 children from the four College Primary Schools were divided into groups of five and given the task of coming up with a story. The drama teacher helped the children choose one story for each class. These stories were turned into drama productions with art teachers helping the children to create colourful props. At our school Year 5.1 staged the play Il-Qarnita (The Octopus) and Year 5.2 produced Ir-Renju tal-Ħalib u l-Ġbejniet (The Cheeselets and Milk Kingdom).
