In this Kindergarten class children are playing Snakes and Ladders. The board is a laminated wrapping paper. All the children are eager to have a turn at throwing the dice and moving the counter. And since everyone is having fun no one minds when a mistake is made.
The Kindergarten classes in our school use recycled materials like cereal boxes, magazines and left-over pieces of coloured and crepe paper to produce colourful art and craft. The children are introduced to the ideas of reuse and recycle. Nothing is wasted, and what would otherwise have finished in the trash bin is given a new lease of life. The latest project is a big garden scene, with various kindergarten classes participating.
Prize Day preparations are underway in our school. This is a very important event as it celebrates our students’ achievements and good qualities. Our teachers teamed up to give their invaluable contribution. This year the highlight is going to be a play on Healthy Living. Our creative teachers pooled their ideas and then came up with a spectacular production. This way, they will be entertaining the audience as well as promoting healthy living. In this slide show a group of teachers, who have student teachers in their classes, are working on the stage props.
On March 9th, the Kindergarten classes held an Activity Day. Parents could visit their children’s classes and watch them go about their various activities. It was a day anticipated by both parents and children. The teachers did their best to welcome the parents. In fact, one teacher made some biscuits in class in the shape of flowers, in keeping with the topic of the week. Then the parents were offered these biscuits the next day.
The activities in different classes varied from games to painting and play dough modelling. Whatever the activity the main emphasis was learning through play.
A parent took time off his work to come and paint a Snakes and ladders in one of the school yards. This is going to help students use their playtime better. Our P.E. teacher has suggested a number of other games which will eventually be included.
This is not the first time that parents have made useful contributions to our school. In January, a parent shared the experience that he and his family had at Għajnsielem, with our Year 5 students. He showed our students a video of the live crib that had been set up at Christmas time.
These Year 4 students in Ms. R. Fenech’s class, created these beautiful works of art. They had to colour this intricate design paying special attention to colour sequence. Most of them got the idea straight away. Then, the design was glued on to a piece of cardboard in a corrugated manner, creating a 3D undulating effect.
During the second basketball session, Year 5 students enjoyed half a day of training. They acquired all the skills necessary and the two classes played games against each other. Then, there was a scoring tournament. This time, Ameur Galea and Sherose Cassar were rewarded for scoring most points.

On Wednesday, 3rd March our football team took part in the Futsal Tournament at Ta’ Qali. All four College Primary Schools played against each other. Our young footballers, wearing green gear, won two out of three games, narrowly losing first place by just one point! Well done to our school team! And a very big thank you to Darren Bonnici, the dedicated coach and a teacher in our school, who trains our team every Friday after school.
Year 5 students have attended the first of five Basketball training sessions, at Ta’ Qali. During this session students were given basic skills – dribbling, catching and throwing a ball. By the end of the session all the students were scoring goals. Tamara Micallef was rewarded for being outstanding.
