Żjara lejn il-Mitħna tax-Xarolla.

Qed naħdmu biex inġibu l-fonts tal-Malti fit- 2Simple, imma għalissa qed naħdmu mingħajrhom. It-tfal vera għamlu xogħol sabih, min postcard, min gazzetta, min poster, vera kuntenta. Hawn xi ftit mix-xogħol li għamlu. Ir-ritratti ttieħdu kollha mit-tfal permezz tal-Intel Classmate :)

Din hi l-poster ta' Luca Stivala.

Din hi l-gazzetta ta' Eleanor.

                                                         Din hi l-poster ta' Wayne.

Għandi aktar xogħol, imma rrid nikkoreġih l-ewwel. Nispera li jkolli ċ-ċans u ntellgħu hawn. Prosit tassew lil kulħadd. :)



Here's today's lesson...

How to add using friends of ten (also known as pairs of ten)

And how do you make a sandwich?

Today we had a fun lesson, firstly : The Making of the Magnificent Sandwich.

And here are some pictures :)

Then, on 2Simple, we found this wonderful application called '2Sequence'. Where children wrote the instructions themselves and the application shuffles them, so they can put them in order again. Then they can add sounds and decorate their 'recipe'.

Here is Crystalmar's game. Made all by herself.

This is what we did today. Aren't we the coolest class ever!

Eleanor's work

Farmer Duck.

Here is something I did for this story. Enjoy.

The children then had an Activ Vote quiz on this story.
Then they took homework on their pendrives.
And they did a load of work using 2Simple.


Here is one, by Cristalmar and Cassidy.

And one by Martina.

I'm expecting more work to come in, so tomorrow I'll post more.

Glad you all enjoyed this lesson.

Happy Halloween.

Today we had a Halloween themed day.

For Maths we did an addition flipchart on ActivInspire, which had a Halloween theme.

Then we read and saw a video of Rapunzel.

Here's the first link

See you soon...

As you know, I'm away for a few days.
Will miss you LOADS.
Be good and be happy.
Do all your work and help your friends.

Take care and send me lots of emails

Miss Claudine.

And again...we've learnt new things!

Today we've learnt how to use Mythware, an Intel facility that allows teacher to send files, chat to individual pupils, recieve files, do tests that get corrected automatically, and lots more. We have done a comprehension test. I don't do this for grading's sake, but for the sake of it being a reading exercise. The children love it, they love the quick response and the efficiency of the system.
I've also managed to silence a few pupils, which was quite funny too.
So now there are three ways by which we can send and recieve files. By box.net, by email and via the mythware. Each child will have her own file on my computer, and all their work will be stored there. I can correct the work and send it back to them, so they can see where they need to revise.

Here's a few bits they sent me today :)

Autumn by Wayne.

My rabbit - Photo taken by Christabelle Vella.

I've got lots of other files, but I need to convert them to jpg before putting them over here.

I just wanted to give you an idea of what's going to happen in the near future with my class of lovely seven year olds.

X'għamilna llum.

Illum bdejna l-ġurnata bil-kbir. Ilbieraħ rajna video fuq youtube fuq il-Ħarifa u tkellimna ħafna fuq dan l-istaġun. Wara għamilna koċċ punti biex niktbu l-istorja fuq il-pitażż tal-Malti. Kemm ktibtu sentenzi sbieh. Naf li kelli ngħinkom mhux ħażin fl-ortografija (spelling), imma ma jimpurtax, jekk tkomplu taqraw, titgħallmu tiktbu ħafna aħjar.

Wara għamilna daqxejn lezzjoni oħra fuq il-flus. Nispera li biż-żmien tidrawhom aħjar. Ħafna minnkom fehmuhom diġa'.
Sempliċi...kemm tiftakru li hemm 100 muniti tal-1ċ f'Ewro, 50 tat- 2ċ eċċ eċċ.

Wara kellna lezzjoni tal-Ingliż fuq 'This and That'. Mortu tajjeb ukoll. Tkellimtu ħafna bl-Ingliż. Tidhru li ħadtu gost.

Imbagħad kellna lezzjoni bl-ARTRAGE. Kollha pinġejtu stampi sbieħ tal-Ħarifa. Hawn hi tiegħi. Ara x'jidhrilkom. Tagħkom ħafna isbaħ, imma jekk inkompli niprattika, jirnexxieli nsir brava daqskom. :)

Ma naqsux waqt il-brejk il-logħob fuq siti li tħobbu intom (Barbie.com u xi oħrajn), u rajna żewġ episodji qosra ta' Tom and Jerry. Kemm dħaqna hux!

Kellna ġurnata sabiħa ħafna. Grazzi.

Whirlwind Week.

It's been a great week. There's so much we've learnt!

This week we've learnt how to send emails, download files, take photos, draw posters using artrage and most importantly, how to save our work.

Today we used new software called 2Simple, with Miss Tanya. It's just awesome.

Start - All programmes - 2Simple Software - 2 Publish+ - 2 Publish+ again.
Use the postcard. Flip the postcard. Click on the camera. Take a photo. Flip again. Write about the photo. Click on the arrow at the bottom of the screen. Right Click the stamp. Choose a photo from your capture folder. SAVE YOUR WORK.

What we did today :)

Today we did the English alphabet lesson, it was fun seeing the children browsing through their wordlists and getting the words for each letter. They did really well. Then I proceeded to the 'a' or 'an' lesson. I sent them a link on their emails, where they could download a flipchart Miss Tanya, our IT support, did for us.
Always remember to download only from 'safe' people (like your teacher).
Always remember the location you are saving this file. I told them to save on 'My Documents'.
Children had to close the e-mail program and open ActivInspire. Then they go File - Open - My Documents - A or An.
At first I thought it didn't work, but they need to give time for the classmate to load the flipchart. It should work fine.
Earlier in the day, we also did a lesson on Nazareth, and another lesson on Pairs of ten, for which they have this wonderful game to play.
Click HERE

It was a good day, the children are motivated with our technology and are learning fast. I'm enjoying it too, and I really hope that you do as well.

A Video we watched today.

Today we learnt about Nazareth. We saw it on Google Earth (download it) and we saw this video, about the Church of Our Lady.

Children's email.

I had planned to give them their email details yesterday, but I didn't manage. So on Monday, first thing, they'll get them. I will print out login cards with passwords, for them to keep safe.

Here are some instructions in Maltese, so on Monday, you can help them use their email properly and safely.

Morru fuq http://www.skola.edu.mt/


Agħfsu fuq din :





Wara tiġik din :









Quddiem il @ it-tfal jiktbu l-email address li għandhom fuq id-diary.

Fil kaxxa tal-Password, iktbu l-password skont kif qegħda fuq id-diary/login card.

Wara jagħfsu Enter u jidħlu.

Issa meta jidħlu fil-mail tagħhom ser isibu email mingħandi. Jistgħu jiprattikaw billi jagħfsu



u jiktbuli lura.

Xi wħud ser isibu emails mingħand sħabhom. Biex twieġeb lura lil min bagħtlek trid tagħfas fuq din .

Wara li tikteb il-mail (it-tfal imqar jiktbu ‘hello kif int’ biss), agħfas fuq




U l-email titlaq fejn tridha int. Attenti li tittajpaw l-email u l-password sew.

Today's flipchart (ActivInspire by Promethean)

Before I start, here's a good site for you parents. You can look up different flipcharts and download them, to be used as revision by your children. You have to register of course.

www.prometheanplanet.com

Now...

What we did today : How to do a simple flipchart.

1) Take a photo using your webcam.

2) Open ActivInspire

3) Insert - Media -  Documents - Webcam media - Capture

4) Click on your desired photo

5) The photo is now inserted in your flipchart. Click on it. You can drag one of the circles on the corner to adjust the size.

6) Click on the big T, and type away! Play around with your buttons and add shapes, change colours and fonts.

7) Send your work to your teacher the next day (we'll use mythware for this)

8) Coolness!

The Big Cat books.



As from today, your child will have a Big Cat book in his/her school bag. Make sure you read it together. Let the child read, and when they meet a word they can't manage, read it for them. This is important so as the flow of the story is not disturbed. Children need to enjoy reading. I have given them a book that's within their reading abilities. Thanks a lot.

Here's some info on the Big Cat series.

Presenting...
