Pirate Adventures : Julian

Last week I asked the class to look up some information about any country. Julian is half-Russian so he took this project to heart, he got photos, printed information and told me a lot of things I didn't know about Russia. Since we're still in Pirate mode in class, we had to write a letter from one Pirate to another or write a story, telling about our adventures in the country we were in. We also have this in Unit 11 of our English language book, Way Ahead, different countries, habitats and places people come from. Children took different approaches to this. Some wrote, some typed. 

Here is Julian's work, all done in class. I edited his photos so he could use them in his little story. 

I will upload more as I get to correct the work. 

Enjoy!

Well done, Julian! Harr!

Something we did in class.

For example to make an octagon (8 sides ...do 360 divided by 8 on a calculator)

and see magic happen. 

Also, look up google maps and find your favourite country.

Il-Preżent

Bħalissa qed nagħmlu l-verbi. Importanti li t-tfal ma jħalltux il-preżent mal-passat. Dan kollu jiġi bil-prattika meta jħaddmu Malti tajjeb. Skużawni ma tantx qed ikolli ċans intella' affarjiet fuq il-blogg, imma bħalissa ninsab mingħajr internet fil-klassi. 

VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE :Study Your Tables.

In year 3, children will learn the tables of 2, 3, 4, 5, 10.

Christmas Party. 

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a New Year full of happiness. 

Science : Magnets.

Been meaning to post these photos a few good weeks now, sorry for the delay. 

Posting the Christmas Cards

It's a tradition in my class, for as long as I can remember, to have each child send a card to two relatives, usually grandparents. December is where we learn about letter writing, so it's a fitting lesson. 

Here are my happy pupils posting their cards today.

Here is a song that will help you study this table.

Owls in the House!

This week we had a story about 'Owl in the House', so as a treat, I surprised the class with this lovely lesson. As soon as they came in from PSD, they saw on each desk, a plate with their ingredients ready. It was breaktime, so it was perfect time to make a healthy snack. Here's what we did. I'm sure many of you are making them again this weekend. Enjoy!

Halloween Activities 2014

What a full week we had! Making the hats in preparation for learning about solid shapes, reading from Winnie the Witch books series, writing about witches, reading Rapunzel, writing 'WANTED' posters for the Evil Witch, learning new words, and closing the week with a healthy version of a Halloween party, making toast and popping corn! All in the name of fun!

I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. 

Much love, Miss Claudine.

Winnie the Witch

Winnie the Witch is an award winning book series written by Valerie Thomas and illustrated by Korky Paul, published by Oxford University Press. The books are funny and the illustrations have loads and loads of hidden treats for keen eyes. 

We are super lucky to have this set in our class. 

We've already read three of them. They gave us a couple of hours of fun, giggles, happiness and rainbows. We're also learning how to do spells, changing cats from black to green, making the moon super-big and changing the colours inside the house. 

Here is the official website of Winnie the Witch. Have fun!

Let me know in the comment box what you think of these stories. 

Miss Claudine

September 2014 - Welcome to my Class.

Jelly and loom band bracelets.

This week we revised capacity (that's litres and millilitres). So we made some jelly in class. Miss Claudine deals with the hot water while the children deal with the cold water and the measures. 

Here is a picture of sweetie chef Ema, with assitant Sven. The only photo I managed to take. 

I wanted to take more photos of the children enjoying their cold treat, but I couldn't as the class was super packed with children from other classes. I wanted to do some more activities, but the crowding and the high temperature made it impossible. 

Well, tomorrow is the last day. 

Children are allowed to wear all the loom bands they want, they're allowed to bring their elastics and they're allowed to make friendship bracelets for each other. 

I hope that the last day will be a fun one!

Tfal Żgħar, Qalb Kbira

Dis-sena, għal Jum l-Omm, xi klassijiet għamlu brazzuletta għall-mama'. Giet Tanja Cilia (li tikteb fis-Sagħtar) biex turihom kif, u l-mama' tiegħi  biex tgħin bix-xogħol tal-wajer. Kien hemm ukoll xi affarjiet li nxtraw minn studenti ta' klassijiet oħra. Bil-qatra l-qatra, meta għoddejt il-flus ta' ġol-kaxxa kien hemm €451. Somma sabiħa li marret għand il-Creche tal-Orsolini ta' tas-Sliema. Post sabiħ ħafna, mimli bl-imħabba li għandhom dawn is-Sorijiet-Omm lejn it-tfal li jrabbu. Jekk xi ħadd minnkom ikun jixtieq imur jgħin, jew jagħti dik ix-xi ħaġa żgħira, kull donazzjoni tiġi milqugħa b'ħafna ferħ. 

Minn qalbi nirringrazzja lit-tfal talli flimkien ferraħna lil ħaddieħor. 

Il-Madre ser tibgħatli rċevuta, u jien ser inġib ritratt tagħha fuq dil-bloggata, kif ukoll nuriha lit-tfal l-iskola. 

Grazzi u prosit!

Jekk qed tħossukom ferħanin b'din l-aħbar, aqbdu l-ferħ tagħkom u agħtu biċċa minnu lil ħaddieħor billi turu qalb tajba u ġenerożita'.
