Kaleidoscopes

Today in class we talked about kaleidoscopes and their brilliant visual effects.

Here is a very interesting video about how to make a kaleidoscope from home ...

My favourite football team

My favourite team is AC Milan.

My favourite player is Robinho. I like how he plays. He is a Brazilian attacker. Milan is a very good team. My second favourite player is Ibrahimovic. He's a very good player too. I love Milan because they are the best.


Forza Milan.

Ħarġa ma` tal-iskola

Meta morna ћarġa ma` tal-iskola konna morna l-Limestone Heritage. Dik kienet l-ewwel ћarġa ma` din il-klassi. L-ewwel ћaġa li rajna kien film dwar l-istorja tal-ġebla.Kien film sabiћ li bih tgћallimna x`kienu jagћmlu fl-antik il-Maltin. Wara morna nagћmlu żjara fil-barriera u tgћidx kemm kien hemm sabiћ. Morna ġo kamra żgћira u bdejna nnaqqxu l-ġebel. Fl-aћћar morna biex nieћdu brejk twil u lgћabna ftit mal-annimali.

Ħarġa Turistika

Morru l-Limestone Heritage u hemmhekk tistgћu taraw vidjow dwar kif ġiet il-ġebla Maltija. Wara tistgћu tmorru fil-barriera fejn qabel ma tidћlu fil-barriera ikun hemm żewġ persuni li jtukom mp3`s u headphones. Wara li taraw il-barriera terġgћu tmorru fejn dawk il-persuni u ttuhom l-MP3`s u l-headphones lura. Wara tmorru ġo workshop u jkun hemm raġel liebes ta` bennej. Hemmhekk tistgћu

toqogћdu tnaqqxu l-ġebel. Nisperaw li tiġu!!

Outing to Limestone Heritage

On Wednesday 16th November our class, together with the rest of the other Year 6 classes, spent the whole morning at a unique touristic site: Limestone Heritage in Siggiewi where we learnt how the rock in Malta has formed millions of years ago, the development of the art of building, the tools used, had a hands-on workshop where we learnt how to engrave in stone while we had lunch amongst the lovely animals being raised in a separate area.

You can see for yourself how much fun it was in the following video:

Creating posters for a school event ...

Learning is fun and last week our class got another first hand experience of how much we’re enjoying learning in our new class! As part of our weekly short writing task, we had to create from scratch a poster, in English, about a future school event. With the help of our teacher, who guided us throughout all the process, we learnt about how are posters designed, how are they meant to persuade us attend that particular activity, how can they attract people’s attention and all the tiny details which make up for an effective poster.

Next step was working on the layout, the style of the poster and the information needed roughly, All along we were exchanging ideas with our teacher and between ourselves so that we could cover as many different activities as possible. We loved every minute of the whole lesson – drawing, sketching and colouring – and when the bell went off we didn’t realise it was time for the first break!

All along the lesson the teacher was going round and making sure we were on the track. And we must say he was quite impressed. Underneath you can watch all our work. Hope you like them too!

Christmas decorations in class ...

From tomorrow onwards the kids are invited to get as many as xmas decorations as possible so to decorate the classroom as beautiful as it can be and thus create an extremely christmas spirit well before this jolly feast. Any kind of decoration is most welcome. From small xmas trees to cribs to decorating spray to vetch (gulbiena) to advent calendars.

Decorations shall be finished by Thursday 9th December.

Thanks very much in advance.

Advertisements

Today we spoke in length about advertisements for this week's comprehension. Their impact and roles and how they are created. And we even watched a couple of adverts which are extremely creative and capture your imagination. Here they are ...



This is funny (and creative too).



This ones makes you WANNA buy a pair of Nike shoes ...



This makes you wanna try out the Pirelli tyres, don't they?

Kotba interessanti u sbieh ghalikom it-tfal ...

Iktar Episodji ta’ Jake Cassar

L-awtriċi Clare Azzopardi, l-illustratur Mark Scicluna u d-direzzjoni tal-Merlin Library Ltd komplew bl-avventuri ta’ Jake Cassar billi ppubblikaw żewġ kotba oħra biex b’hekk f’din is-sensiela issa hemm erbgħa.

Kull ktieb fih erbgħa u sittin paġna u bla dubju huma pakkett divertenti. Jake Cassar jispiċċa għand ir-Re Pankrazju IV; ir-re tal-Uditi. B’xi mod dan it-tfajjel, li jħobb jaqra u jikteb, jispiċċa biex ikun l-eroj li jipproteġi r-renju ta’ Pankrazju. L-aħħar żewġ kotba fis-sensiela huma Ir-Reġina Fidelja u r-Renju Stordut u Il-Bastun tar-Reġina Fidelja. B’hekk issa s-sensiela qed tintroduċi lill-qarrejja ma’ iktar karattri u żżomm ritmu tajjeb.

Hu interessanti kif Azzopardi meta tikteb għat-tfal aktarx tuża l-umoriżmu u l-grottesk imma dik l-istrateġija tinbidel radikalment meta tikteb għall-kbar. Mark Scicluna, bħal f’episodji oħra, jżomm livell għoli fl-illustrazzjoni. Element li jispikka hu li l-kotba f’din is-sensiela aktarx jidhru strambi f’dik li hi preżentazzjoni għax tista’ tgħid li fihom u matulhom jinkisru r-regoli konvenzjonali kollha ta’ kif ikun ippreżentat ktieb; fażi li barra ilha li għaddiet u saret iktar minn regolari. Din il-preżentazzjoni tagħmel is-sensiela iktar fantażjuża fl-aħħar mill-aħħar u tixraq lit-tfal li qed jgħixu llum f’epoka fejn il-kreattività hi kontinwament mhedda.

Clare Azzopardi

Bћalma gћedtilkom tul dawn l-aћћar ġimagћtejn l-awtriċi, popolari ћafna mat-tfal, Clare Azzopardi ћa tkun qed iżżur l-iskola tagћna f’Jannar sabiex tiġi titkellem mal-klassijiet tas-Sitt Sena. Gћaldaqstant qed nintroduċikom ma’ xi kitbiet minn tagћha u nћeġġiġkom li matul Diċembru u waqt il-vaganzi tal-Milied ћalli tiskopru dinja mill-isbaћ …

Iktar ‘il quddiem ћa nkun qed inlaqqagћkom (f’dan il-blogg) ma’ awturi Maltin oћra sabiex issiru tafuhom aktar mill-qrib u nisperaw li Clare Azzopardi ma tkunx tal-ewwel u tal-aћћar kittieba li nġibu l-iskola din is-sena.
