The Green Flag Celebration Day

7th of December 2009, marked our much awaited Green Flag Celebration Day. Attended by parents, teachers, Heads of schools, Eko-skola coordinators, local council members and the students themselves this day was a truly special one for everyone who attended this event. At around half past eight all the students from Kinder to Year 6 classes, together with all those who were invited to this important event in the history of our little school, assembled in the foyer. The Year 4 class opened the event by singing "Heal the World" by the late Michael Jackson - a wonderful song with meaningful lyrics . The Year 6 followed with their song "Healthy Food."

We were then honoured with the eloquent speeches of Dr Paul Pace, National EkoSkola Coordinator,and Mr Vincent Attard, President of Nature Trust Malta who pointed out at our eko-skola members' resilient commitment to the environment. Next, certificates were awarded to those people who had helped or supported us in our Eko skola project - namely, the local Mayor Mr Valvo, Mr JP Micallef -ex-Head of school, and Mr S Borg - the Scout Leader. Their respective speeches all revolved on the authors of this success -the students who committed themselves to actively improve the quality of life in their school.

This was followed by tree-planting in our school yard. Olive trees, our national tree is-Sigra tal-Gharghar and other trees were planted by the kids in various selected areas in the yard. We concluded our ceremony with a fun walk which started off at Zonqor area and ended at our school. It was quite a long walk but the kids enjoyed themselves immensely.

Science Festival

Today, the Year 4 and 5 classes attended the Science Festival which is being held at the University campus by the Malta Council of Science and Technology to promote science among young people. Science was present in a fun environment where children could take part in various experiments in the exhibition. Unfortunately, they could not feel the ground beneath them tremble during an earthquake simulation because it was out of order but the students were encouraged to attend this exhibition with their parents during the weekend where hopefully the simulation would be in working order again. The schoolchildren also learnt about mirages and pulleys, about how waves were generated and how wind turbines worked. Some enjoyed watching the dancing Lego robot while others enjoyed looking at their distorted images in “fat and thin mirrors”.

The festival will go on until Sunday, between 4.30 p.m. and 7.30 p.m. at the University.

Year 4 - The Magic Carpet by Leanne Said and Amberind

By Amberind

By Leanne Said

Once upon a time, I saw a magic carpet. I wanted it because it had special powers. It was in a dark cave all by itself. I spoke to the carpet and it told me to climb on it. It took me to Spain and I saw Madrid, the capital city of Spain. I stopped there and we swam in a lake. Then, the carpet took me to an arena and I watched a bull fight there. I saw lots of bulls. Then when it was time it took me back home.

Year 4- Eco Friendly crafts - The Scarecrow

Last Friday, we worked on our third eco-friendly craft. This time we created the scarecrow which in Maltese we call 'In-Naffar'. Since on Monday we worked on a comprehension in Maltese about 'In-Naffar' I thought it would be a good idea if we continued on the same theme. If you would like to try this craft at home this is what you need:

• 4 old buttons or more
• some straw
• little rags of old cloth
• scissors
• PVA glue
• cotton
• some wool

First, the students were each given a used A4 paper and on the blank side they sketched the 'skeleton' of the scarecrow. Then they stuck some cotton in the circle on top of the scarecrow's sketched head.

Here's Dyshan sticking the cotton onto the scarecrow's head

Next, they placed a piece of cloth over the cotton and drew a circle around the shape of the head. Then, they cut the cloth in the shape of a circle and stuck it over the cotton. They also stuck two buttons for the scarecrow's eyes.

They also pasted some straw for the hands and the legs. The kids started creating patterns for the scarecrow's trousers and T-shirt. They swapped material and helped each other to create different scarecrows. It was lovely watching them work, share and enjoying themselves.

Here's Amberind patiently sticking the little bits of straw

Finally, they added the final touches to the scarecrow like some wool for hair, a little hat, and some more buttons on the scarecrow's tummy.
