From Monday 12th till Friday 16th April 2010 a Healthy Lifestyle Week was organised at school. This event was meant to make students, teachers and parents aware of the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle. Different talks by the Home Economics Department dealt with healthy eating and healthy lunches. Wasteserv Malta gave talks about the three Rs – Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Carmen Tedeco gave a lecture to interested parents about how to prepare varied and healthy school lunches. Here are some pictures of these talks.
On Thursday 15th April, as part of Healthy Lifestyle Week, our students participated in a bikethlon organised by Birkirkara St. Joseph Sports Club. The event took place just outside the school and in the driveway of the University Residence opposite the school. Year 4, 5 and 6 students participated in the activity which was really fun!
As part of Healthy Lifestyle Week, students from Year 6A prespared puppet shows for students in Kindergarten 1 and 2 and Years 1 and 2. Students worked in groups and wrote a script for the puppet show about helthy living. Among the topics which featured the most were the importance of eating fruit and vegetables and of doing some form of physical activity everyday. It was a very educational experience both for the students who prepared the puppet shows and also for those who wathced. Here are some pictures of the activity!
Il-Logħob Olimpiku
Nhar it-Tlieta, 20 t’ April, il-klassi tagħna Year 5.2 tellgħet assembly bit-tema tal-Logħob Olimpiku. Tkellimna dwar dawn il-logħob li jsiru kull erba’ snin u li fihom jippartċipaw atleti minn pajjizi madwar id-dinja kollha. Fakkarna lill-istudenti li dan il-logħob beda f’Ateni, il-Greċja fejn l-irġiel biss kienu jiehdu sehem. Ma tistax ma ssemmix lill-Baruni Pierre de Coubertin li hu l-fundatur tal-Logħob Olimpiku Modern. Dan jgħallimna li:
L-aqwa li tieħu sehem u mhux li tirbaħ!
During Holy week, Year 4 students acoompanied by their teachers, Ms. Josianne Hili and Ms. Alison Said, visited several exhibitions hosted at various Band Clubs in Żebbuġ. Students had the chance to admire the beautiful works of art made from coloured semolina, salt and rice. They also visited scenes from the Passion of Christ with life-size figures. This educational visit helped students to appreciate the rich cultural heritage of the Maltese islands and also to enter more into the spirit of this holy time of the Liturgical Year.

On Tuesday 13th and Thursday 15th April all students attended a special assembly in preperation for the Pope’s visit to Malta. They watched a short clip about Pope Benedict’s life and his mission as head of the Catholic Church. A poster of the Pope was also displayed in the School Foyer. You can also watch the clip by visiting this website: http://www.kdt.yolasite.com
Year 6C students together with their teacher Ms. Rita Debono prepared these charts about different types of animals for a special assembly. Students were divided into groups and each group chose a particular group of animals like, for example, farm animals, animals that fly, pets and so on. Then they cut out pictures of these animals and organised them to make an interesting chart. These are the charts these students made!
The students in Year 1.1 (Ms. Francesca Saliba) and Year 1.2 (Ms. Jeanine Sciberras) made these posters about the villages and towns they come from as a follow-up activity to a Social Studies lesson. They found pictures and wrote a couple of sentences about their locality. Here are some pictures of these posters.
Kindergarten1 students made these beautiful crafts using recycled materials with their teacher Ms. Maggie Zammit. They made fish bowls from plastic bottles as well as charts recycling paper and pictures from magazines. These activities are also taking part in the Dinja Wahda project. Here are some pictures showing these crafts.
