Maltese Sign Language Activity

This afternoon I had the opportunity to attend an interesting Sign Language activity organised by our year 2 and year 6 classes.

Ms Maria Galea, a sign language specialist was invited and gave an interactive introduction of the Maltese sign Language to the students. Our students participated actively and by the end of the session students were were able to construct simple sentences using the method presented by the speaker. The school administration would like to thank Ms Galea for her excellent delivery. Particular thanks go to Mr David Tedesco (Year 2 teacher) together with the assistance of Ms Ms Diana Salerno (year 6 teacher) and Ms Souad Elghazzawi (Arabic teacher).

Below are some photos taken during the activity.

You matter no matter what!

On Friday 29th March, the Student Council attended the launch of the report compiled by the Children’s Hub of the President’s Foundation for the Wellbeing of Society. The initiative is called ‘You matter no matter what’ and has given voice to many children around the Maltese islands.

Mariam Albatool School was awarded with a certificate of participation by Her Excellency The President MarieLouise Coleiro Preca and the Director General of the Foundation Dr Ruth Farrugia.

Our school is proud to have taken part in this initiative!

THANK YOU to all students and to Ms Debbie Atanasio for this excellent initiative.

Firefighting!

Both Year 3 classes had a Maltese reading book about firefighters and safety. They really liked the book and we, educators thought about organizing an outing to the fire station in Paola in which the pupils could see what the work of a firefighter actually involves. Everyone enjoyed the outing and the firefighters themselves asked us to visit our school for a follow-up activity in which they themselves talked about safety at home. It was a very fruitful experience for the pupils.

Training session conducted by Mr Gaetano Bugeja (Director – Curriculum)

Training session conducted by Mr Gaetano Bugeja (Director – Curriculum)

During the session Mr Bugeja gave a captivating account of the necessity to continue cultivating a drive for Formative Assessment. He cited numerous examples as to how a culture of continuous assessment is in fact a reality reflected in the place of work. He clearly explained that what is sowed during the formative years in the kinder and primary sectors is reflected in secondary school, in higher educational institutions and later on at work placements.

He praised teachers at Mariam Albatool School for being at the very forefront to embrace changes in the educational sector.

It was real pleasure having Mr Bugeja supporting the initiatives of the school.

A big THANK YOU goes to the Educators present during the meeting and who participated very actively and whose queries were answered by the speaker.

The School Administration and Staff would like to THANK Mr Bugeja for his constant and relentless support to our school. A BIG WELL Done to all
