Symmetry

Symmetry is the line which divides a shape or an object into equal parts. First we saw a video explaining what symmetry is. Then using the IWB we investigated the lines of symmetry of some shapes. We  played a game where half of the word was covered and the children had to guess which word it was. And then finally it was time for some on-line games and some cut and paste activity. Below are the links for the games and photos showing hte children busy in action.

Hundreds, Tens and Units

Below is a link from where you can print different number cards which help you understand better Hundreds Tens and Units. I'm also posting the link to a game where you are asked to make 3-digit numbers using your knowledge of hundreds, tens and units (click on the button showing HTU)

Sport Activities

One fine day we had an unusual PE lesson. Children were grouped and were asked to think of games with the different equipment they find in a particular station. They came with really good ideas. Here is a Photostory of our day.

Our visit to EMBED 2012

This Photostory is a collection of the activities that some of my students experienced during our visit to the EMBED exhibition.

Food Chains

In this week's Science lesson we explored different food chains in different habitats. We saw a video about different food chains and how these help us transfer energy through food. We said that there are the producers (grass, plants, wheat), herbivores (the animals and insects which eat grass), carnivores (the animals which eat other smaller animals) and the omnivores (the animals which eat both grass and other smaller animals). Then we worked out a worksheet and played different games to further explore how these food chains function. Then after completing the food chains some children had to orally explain what is happening. Here are some videos of their excellent work.

Oliver Musical

Hey dearest children,

I've uploaded the videos of the 2 songs which we will be singing on our Merit Day celebration. Start practicing to do a wonderful job on the day. I'm sure you'll make me and your parents proud.

Advert writing

In this week's Maltese lesson, children had a go at writing an advert. After watching real adverts, we held a discussion with regards to the main points an advert focuses about; short, clear and descriptive sentences which allows the reader to picture it in his mind and most importantly contact information. Here are some shots of our work, well done to all :-)
