Oh Rapunzel!!!



Today we watched this video in class :





You probably saw the book inside your child's bag, it is the book of the week. 


Over the mid-term holidays I'm giving some homework connected with this book. 


IF  you want to do anything extra, 


HERE is some reading material. You can also print the book and let the child construct it.

Ġietni idea...

Minn għada ser nibda nistaqsi lit-tfal ituni suġġett fuq xiex nibbloggja...xi annimal, grupp favorit, pajjiz, tim tal-futbol, kartuns ... li jħobbu. Jien nagħmel naqra riċerka bl-għajnuna tagħhom u nitfa' artiklu fuq hawn.

Dan mhux għat-tfal biss, jekk tridu tkunu tafu xi ħaġa intom ... ibgħatu kumment jew email u jkollna artiklu fuq x' niddiskutu hawn. Ġietni idea wkoll fuq l-ewwel lezzjoni tat-tisjir li nagħmlu. Dan inħobb nagħmlu meta jkolli l-lezzjoni tat-tisjir jew dwar l-ikel tajjeb għas-saħħa. Jekk tixtiequ lit-tfal jitgħallmu xi tisjir ġdid (eż : ikel Malti, insalata tal-frott, smoothies u milkshakes eċċ)... għiduli.

Adding Elevens

This was the lesson I wanted to broadcast live, but here's a  recording of what we did. I apologise for the bad audio in the video.



Here is a handout which you can do as extra work :

Adding Elevens.

Xogħol għall-Erbgħa, 4 ta' Novembru.

Fuq il-Project book tal-iStudji Soċjali għandhom iwaħħlu l-ħendawt li nħadmet fil-klassi, iwaħħlu l-Bronja (għandhom ħendawt tagħha wkoll) u jsibu xi stampi/ ipinġu fuq Ħaġar Qim u l-Mitħna tax-Xarolla.

Biex tifhmu aħjar fejn morna, HAWN issibu xi nformazzjoni fuq iż-Żurrieq, u msemmija l-Mitħna ( u l-Katakombi li hemm biswitha).

U HAWN issib xi nformazzjoni fuq Ħaġar Qim.

Dan hu filmat fuq dan it-Tempju megalitiku.



Ikun tajjeb kieku ssibu ħin u tmorru mat-tfal, speċjalment jekk għandkom tfal li qegħdin fl-ewwel sena tas-sekondarja. Dawk li jkollhom sħubija fil-Heritage Malta jkollhom prezzijiet specjali.

Ix-xogħol tal-lum.

Studji Soċjali : Nies li jgħinuna. Ikkopjaw dawk is-sentenzi irrigati biss fuq Id-Dinja Tiegħi. Waħħlu xi stampi li għandhom x'jaqsmu. Dan ix-xogħol hu għal nhar it-Tnejn ħalli ntikom ċans issibu l-istampi.

English Dictation : Children have word list 2 on the English Study copybook. English Dictations are on Thursdays.

Maltese Dictation will be on Mondays. List will be given tomorrow.

Il-Healthy Breakfast.

Illum kif tafu konna l-healthy breakfast. It-tfal kielu ċereali li fihom anqas zokkor, u ħadu jowgart ukoll.

Ixxukkjajt ruħi kif minn klassi ta' għoxrin, sebgha
biss jieħdu kolazjon kif suppost. Is-sebgha li jieħdu, fil-maġġoranza jieħdu ċereali taċ-ċikkulata.

Mhux ta' b'xejn li meta ddoqq il-qanpiena tal-brejk ikunu jridu jibilgħuh il-ħobż.

Hafna tfal li jkunu fuq stonku vojt ma jikkonċentrawx. Hemm bżonn li jiġu l-iskola b'xi ħaġa sustanzjuża ġo fihom. Ċereali, ħobż mixwi, frotta...ttuhomx kejkijiet u gallettini għax ħafna zokkor iraqqadhom.

Għada ser nagħmlu il-fruit break, nispera li nara aktar tfal bil-frott fil-basket. Jistgħu jġibu jowgart (mhux minn dawk tal-ismarties jew mimlijin zokkor). Min iġib frotta/ħaxix/jowgart ser jieħu stilla fuq iċ-ċart tal-frott.

Today is Wednesday.



So, as always, we don't give homework. I hope you go for a nice walk, a nice drive, spend time with your parents and loved ones. Maybe kick a ball or ride a bike. Fly a kite or walk your dog.

Tomorrow we have dictation. Most of you are prepared. Do spend a few minutes going over the List 1, which is on the English Study Copybook.

Also, tomorrow we are having A Healthy Breakfast, so please come to school smart in your uniform. Thankyou :)

Maths : Counting Back.

Today we had some activity in the classroom.
Each group was given a 'whiteboard', a marker, a dice, and a set of cards showing from 10-20.

Each member of the group had to turn over one card, write the number on the whiteboard.

Then they roll the dice, and they minus that number from the big one.

Then we take out fingers showing the amount shown on the dice, and we count back from the big number.

ex 16 - 9 = 7
( 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7)

For homework they have some counting back sums.

Watch This!!

Here is the cartoon we watched in class. We have the work on the My Stories Project Book. For homework, you have to draw the picture of the monster, or something from the story on the My Stories project book. Don't worry if your drawing is not too good, mine are not that good either :)


I will post some of your drawings next week.


Not now, Bernard.

Today we are going to read this fantastic book in class.


I read the story for you, in case you want to listen to it again.

HW tal-Malti.

Wara li taraw il- Powerpoint li poġġejtilkom fil-post ta' qabel din, tistgħu taħdmu MaltiManija g u o paġna 7.

Ħafna mit-tfal ma kinux jafu x'inhu vulkan, x'inhi l-Etna, xi tkun Belt Kapitali, id-differenza bejn pajjiz u belt...nixtieqkom jekk għandkom Atlas id-dar uruhom ftit, u tkellmu magħhom.

Kelma b'Oħra.

Illum fuq id-Denfil qrajna l-istorja li hemm fuq paġna 13. Fuq il-pitazz issa mxejna 'l quddiem. Fejn qabel kienu jimlew il-vojt, issa jridu jibdew iwieġbu. Għal bidu ser nibdielhom it-tweġiba jien, imma 'l quddiem ser ikollhom ifittxuha huma.


Rajna dan il-vidjo waqt li qrajna l-istorja.



Mistoqsijiet kienu dawn :

1) X'jisimha l-istorja? 2) X'kien qed jagħmel it-tifel?
3) X'beda jgħajjat?
4) X'għamlu l-irġiel? 5) X'għamel kif waslu ħdejh?
6) Fl-aħħar min ġie?
7) Min tah widen? 8) X'għamillu l-lupu?

Handwriting practise.




I found a good site that will enable you to print worksheets which will help your child to write in cursive writing.


The yellow dot on each worksheet will show you where the letter should start.

Choose the letters you want to practise, then click 'Make worksheet'. You will see the worksheet in a few seconds.

Then
File > Print :)

Here is a handout to practise the letter k.

Otto's Family.

I've given the children four sheets of paper which are going to become our first book.

They are to stick the pages from 'Otto's Family' onto these pages, according to the page numbers.

Title page (no pictures, just writing and drawing)

Page 1 : Father

Page 2 : Mother

Page 3 : Brother

Page 4 : Sister

Page 5 : Grandma

Page 6: Grandpa.


We will write on these books accordingly during our English writing sessions.

Maths Homework.

This might look confusing, but it's really easy.

On abacus page 8, children have four empty cards.

They have to fill out the cards with numbers that add up to 10. They can choose the numbers themselves.

On the study copybook there are some examples.

Ex

10 = 2 + 3 + 4 + 1

They can take out 10 fingers, then use their fingers to split the 10 between any 2/3/4 numbers. 

l l l l l l l l l l
       3  + 3 + 4 = 10

We will do these sums again tomorrow :)

Maths Lesson.



Today we had a lesson about tens and ones (units). Please see the maths study copybook for the notes. Homework is from the Abacus Workbook pages 5 and 6.

Also, you can do this handout for extra work.

The Fruit Break.




As from this week, every day (we'll try to keep it every day) at 10.00, just after the second lesson, children will stop writing for a Fruit Break.
This is done to give more importance to the eating of fruit. Please ensure that your child brings one fruit a day to school. The fruit break will encourage children to eat more fruit, as children tend to copy habits from each other.
