Ħarba ... Books galore

Last Saturday me and a quite big number of kids in my class attended an afternoon two-hour session of the International festival of Children's Literature held in St James Cavalier in Valletta between Thursday 22nd and Sunday 25th April. Children enjoyed themselves reading in total silence, or exploring the different styles of kids' literature, drawing or writing poetry and finally listening to an exclusive interview with three of the most popular children's local authors: Carmel G. Cauchi, Charles Casha and Trevor Żahra.








Football festival in the rain ...

Last Friday all the Year 5 classes went on foot to the Birkirkara Football Club artificial training grounds at Infetti for a football festival. The weather didn't promise anything good and in fact it turned out to be a wetty morning with, unfortunately, two or three rain interruptions. But the kids had a great time just the same! They carried out different skills concerning football like shooting, passing, dribbling or holding the ball.

Benvenuti ...


Today a group of Italian students and penfriends (of many kids from our and the 5.3 class) from the primary school of Scicli (near Ragusa), in Sicily, came over for a two day visit to Malta. Their teachers told me that this tour was a reward for the kids' effort during recent exams.


And courteously today they started their short voyage with a visit to our school during the bikeathlon activity. The Italian kids and us soon made friends and started talking about loads of things - hobbies, interests, games and other stuff! The penfriends finally met face to face ... and found themselves in seventh heaven!


Afterwards they came over to our class where we gave each one of them a little souvenir - a postcard about Malta made by ourselves during yesterday's Crafts lesson. Then we watched a short clip, in the media room, about their school and an environmental UNESCO project they embarked upon.



Benvenuti nella nostra classe! Welcome to our class! Merħba!

On your marks ... get ready ....

And finally the finishing line ...


Come on the last bit ...
