Visit from waste serve representative
Yesterday, we had a lovely visit by Ms.Doreen Micallef from wasteserve Malta. Ms Romina invited her in class as part of the eTwinning project ‘Water water everywhere’. Children listened attentively to Ms.Doreen and actively participated throughout the activities.
Ms.Doreen spoke about the importance of disposing of litter properly. She also helped the children understand the consequences of not disposing of our litter in the right way. She showed examples of sea animals and birds that end up dying because of plastic such as straws and balloons.
She read a lovely story of a garbage truck and his important work towards our community! Ms.Doreen praised the children for their behaviour, interest and attention.
World Children’s Day
Wednesday, November 20 was World Children’s Day and during this week we celebrated the children of the world with various activities. We had a video learning session during which we learnt that children have ‘Rights’. All children have Rights to food, to a family and a home, to be protected and safe, to an education and to play. To honour the Right to Play on Wednesday we had outdoor play activities during which the children had time to engage in a tradition Maltese game (Iż-żunżana ddur, iddur), tug-of-war, and several other sports games. We also discussed the Right to Food and Water after which the children drew their own idea of what is good food. Their drawings, which included attempts of writing words, are now displayed in the corridor. The children had an experience of making their own ‘Ħobż biż-żejt’ a traditional healthy snack with bread, olive oil, tomato paste and olives. This gave them the opportunity to learn how to use a knife safely! During the week we also discussed that we are blessed to have food and clean water to keep us healthy. The children became aware that not all children are so fortunate. They came up with the idea of sharing food with other less fortunate children so we are collecting food items to give away. This is a perfect opportunity for the children to learn to be generous and to share what they have with others. #wcd2019

World Children’s Day
Assalamu Aleikum everyone!
In KG1A for World Children’s Day, we discussed the importance and the beauty that is Diversity. We discussed this with the aid of a book titled “Handa’s Surprise” by Eileene Browne. This book is basically about a young girl named Handa who lives in Kenya and would like to give a surprise to her friend Akeyo who lives in another village. The book shows us the different fruits Handa picks up for her friend as well as the different animals who pop up and each take a fruit along the way.
This book helped us understand the way different people from different cultures live which might be a bit different than us.
After the book was read, I explained to the children that each of us has different backgrounds. For example, some children come from Syria while others come from Libya. The thing that connects us together is that we all live in Malta. With the aid of visuals, the children got an idea on where their parents are from as well as where their peers are from.
For the main activity, together, we made a chart which portrays our differences in a positive light. Each child picked a colour they fancied and made their own hand-print which is also a representation of their uniqueness. Finally, each child was presented with a picture of their countries’ flag which they stuck underneath their hand-print. This showcased our beautiful diverse classroom and the children all felt a sense of pride and joy seeing the different colours and the different flags which represent their unique selves. #wcd2019

World Children’s Day
20th November, 2019.
World Children’s Day was first established in 1954 as Universal Children’s Day and each year it is celebrated on the 20th of November. It is celebrated so as to promote international togetherness, awareness among children worldwide, and improving children’s welfare.
World Children’s Day in KG 2R.
Today in KG 2R we remembered this special day and made the children aware of the children’s rights and their importance throughout these last 30 years.
Children were presented with a chart divided in 2 columns. Child one showing a happy child and child 2 showing a sad child. I asked the students how they think the children in the picture feel. After that the students were given different pictures. Some of the pictures are things that normally are enjoyed by children, while others make them sad.
The children had a turn each and discussed different photos and stated if the photo shows something that made them happy or sad and then they stuck the picture under the right column on the chart.
To make this day a memorable one, I prepared an activity that I was sure the children would love! Cupcakes decorations! All Children were given cupcakes, nutella and smarties to decorate and enjoy!#wcs2019
