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!
