Fun Walk ġewwa l-Buskett mill-Istudenti tal-Ħames Sena

Nhar il-Ġimgħa 18 ta’ Diċembru 2011 l-istudenti tal-Ħames Sena attendew għal fun walk ġewwa l-Buskett organizzata mill-Kunsill Malti għall-isport.  Tlaqna minn taħt it-tinda tal-Buskett u ġbidna lejn l-inħawi ta’ Clapham Junction fejn rajna diversi raddi tar-roti – cart ruts. Bqajna tilgħin aktar ‘il fuq u wasalna ħdejn Għar il-Kbir li sa madwar mitt sena ilu kienu għadhom jgħixu fih in-nies. Rajna wkoll xi oqbra li kienu jintużaw mill-Puniċi madwar elfejn sena ilu. Minn hemm erġajna nżilna lura lejn il-Buskett. Madwarna smajna t-tpespis ta’ diversi għasafar fosthom il-pitirross li beda jfaqqa’ u jgħanni mis-siġar. Kienet esperjenza sabiħa għalina u tgħallimna li barra li jgħinna biex inkunu b’saħħitna, il-mixi jista’ jkun ta’ pjaċir ukoll meta mmorru f’xi post sabiħ tal-kampanja Maltija.

A leasure walk to San Anton Gardens

As part of Healthy Fun Week our students took part in a walk to San Anton Gardens which are a short distance from our school. Through this activity, students learned about the importance of physical exercise – in this case, walking – and admired the beauty of these gardens in central Malta. On-site and follow-up activities were also organised by the respective teachers. These photos show Year 6 students at San Anton Gardens as well as pictures drawn by Year 1 students.

The Wall!

Another Dinja Waħda activity carried out by Year 6 students was “The Wall!” focussing on rubble walls found in the Maltese countryside and their importance as habitats for plants and animals. The activity was carried out in a rural area just outside the village of Lija. Students were given a worksheet to fill in with their observations. After being given a short explanation by the teacher, students had time to observe and note down on their worksheets what they saw on and around the rubble wall. In class, after a short discussion, the students drew pictures of rubble walls and the creatures and plants that live around them. Here are some pictures showing the activity!

Out of Africa!

Through this activity, students learnt about migration through a game and a drawing and craft activity. Children played a game about migration in which they learnt about the dangers faced by swallows during migration. Then they made cardboard swallows which were displayed in class and ‘migrated’ from one side of the classroom to another.

Birds I View!

Students were familiarised with 6 birds found in Malta, namely, the Sparrow (Għasfur tal-bejt), Sardinian Warbler (Bufula sewda), Black Redstart (Kudiross iswed), White Wagtail (Zakak Abjad), Robin (Pitirross) and the Starling (Sturnell). The activity consisited of a powerpoint presentation about the six birds in which students learnt about each bird and heard their song. Then students coloured pictures of these birds which were displayed in class and on the Green Board. A game followed in which students represented birds and raced to a box in which there were cards with the names of types of food birds eat. Students learned a lot about birds from this activity and enjoyed themselves very much.

Robin Roundup!

In this Dinja Waħda activity, students became more aware of the repect we shoud show towards robins. The robin is a migratory bird that migrates south in autumn. Robins arrive in Malta in mid-October and some of them spend the winter here. In March, robins migrate back north to reproduce. In class, students discussed a story about a boy who used to trap robins. Then they made pom-pom robins and displayed them in class and on the Green Board.
