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 :-)

The Solar System

In today's Science lesson we tackled the solar system. We listened to some songs to become familiar with the planets' names'. Then we saw a video, followed a number of games where more information was given. We now know the names of the 9 planets in our solar system, the order as regards the distace from the sun, that the sun is a star and that our planet Earth takes a year to orbit the sun. We know that our galaxy is called the Milky Way. Here are the links to some more fun facts about space.
