Plurals

This week's English lesson  was about the plurals.
Remember that to some words we add:

s = boy - boys
es = fox - foxes, dish - dishes, church - churches, glass - glasses
ies = lady - ladies
ves = shelf - shelves

Others called irregulars do not follow one of the patterns above. They might change completely or remain just the same.

goose = geese, mouse = mice

Healthy Lifestyles

This week we had several initiatives at school encouraging healthy lifestyles. Us at Year 3 visited the President's Kithchen Garden. There we learned about the goodness of eating fresh, local produce. We learned about the importance of having more trees and plants in our environment to have more clean and fresh air. Then we had a stroll at San Anton Gardens and children were made aware that spending free time surrounded by greenery and peacefulness is healthier than staying closed at home in front of the TV or playing with the playstation.

At school children were also given the opportunity to play traditional games. These games help children stay active and enjoy the outdoors. I must say that they were enthusiastic and enjoyed all of the games most especially the 'bocci' and 'zibeg'. Here are some photos :-)

Food Groups / Food Pyramid

As part of the healthy lifestyles week, even our lessons were focused on this topic. Our class discussed the topic of healthy eating. We learned that the food pyramid is a guidline for having a healthy diet. We played several games to enhance our learning. Below are the links.

Unmuddle the meals

Water Conservation Posters

As part of the EkoSkola campaign each year group was given a task related to eco-friendly measures. The Year 3 group was assigned the task of drawing up a poster which illustrated water safety measures. After a class discussion, the children were grouped and each group decided on which measure their poster will focus on. This was done to avoid having all groups doing the same thing. Here are some photos of our work. Well done to all the children. They really worked hard and achieved great results.
