In the classroom we took part in the project “DINJA WAHDA” for a second time. Here students are seen learning about hedgehogs and how we can conserve and take care of them through a power point. After this, they put their minds and hands to work. They designed a promise card, that says that they promise to take care of the hedgehogs. They also designed a hedgehog badge to put in their parent’s car. This will remind the driver to drive slow in case a hedgehog is crossing the road.
Practicing gratitude
At Mariam Albatool School Paola, we thought of using friendship cards as springboard to practice GRATITUDE. Our year 3 class carefully guided by Roseanne Dimech and myself assisted our students into understanding what gratitude is. First we spoke about gratitude and what it means to be grateful. We asked students: “What does gratitude mean? What does it mean to be grateful?” They friendship card FEELING GRATEFUL was used to help reinforce feelings of GRATITUDE in the classroom. Then the students filled and coloured a worksheet.Then, they practiced gratitude by coming in class one by one and received a hearty welcome from their peers, for example “Hello Ahmed, welcome to our classroom”.Then, the students were asked to share and explain a strategy for feeling happy and to reflect on all of the things they are grateful for. After a period of time reflecting on the activity students were asked to write and draw activities of which they feel grateful for. Students were the assessed for their understanding of interdependence between different concepts related to gratitude through the “web of life” drawing. The lesson ended by motivating the students to draw a token of gratitude fora buddy (or someone who they think deserves gratitude). A very big WELL Done to our year 3 Class.+34

Change of time (for Fridays till end of pandemic).
As Salaamu alaikom
Please be advised that come Friday and all Fridays thereafter and until the corona pandemic remain, the school will end at 1200hrs instead of 1245hrs.
As you all know our school differs from other schools, being that it is not only a school but also an Islamic Centre and mosque. Due to the social distance requirements, areas within the school, may be used for prayers. Due to the fact that many carriers are asymptomatic and until the danger of contagion disappears we will be releasing the children earlier in order that we limit the chances of them and parents from coming into contact with people attending the mosque for Friday prayers.
This will take effect from Friday 5th February.
Thank you,
The School Administration
