Christmas Cards

So around two weeks ago, I pasted a note in the children's diaries for the parents, to send a blank card (or two), a stamp (or two) and the addresses to whom these cards were to be sent. Since this month we learnt how to write letters and emails, I wanted them to learn also how to write the address on the envelope and where to put the stamp...and physically see where the letter goes. In this day and age, with all the marvellous technology we have around us, hand written letters are rare, and a lot of children didn't know how to write addresses on an envelope. Sign of the times. So today, we had a fun lesson writing those envelopes, licking the yummy (or yucky for some) stamps. When the activity was over, we walked down to the post office and posted our Christmas cards, all neatly written, with hearts and kisses tucked in before the envelopes were licked and sealed. I do hope they get to their destination on time, we've been mighty busy of late. 
Here are some photos of my cuties at the Post Office.

Write-ups about our December Outing

As you all know, we've had a very interesting and exciting outing this week. We had three photographers, Mattea, Matthias and Ranya taking (really good) photos. The photos were resized by myself and put into 2Create a Superstory from 2Simple Software for the children to use in class. Here are the books they produced. (Best viewed in explorer)

Class by Ranya




Someone went trigger-happy in class today- with a camera. :) Quite like the three-and-a-half-foot-tall-point-of-view :)

Today's work

These last few weeks we had some intensive work regarding adjectives. We have a word wall which is dominated by adjectives other than 'nice' and 'good'. As you can see from the work below, many children decided to use this resource in their work. Today I decided to do a lesson that allowed the children to choose their presentation according to their tastes. As you can see, quite a lot of them are excited about Christmas, aliens, fairy tales and superheroes. 
Well done. I wish some of you took more care to save their work properly...a lot of work gets lost through rushing from one task to another.

The George Cross

Today we had a handout about the Maltese Flag. I wanted to explain to the children how the George Cross came along, so I showed them some of this video. Would be nice if some great grand parents spoke to the children about the Great War.

Some mashcams

Today we had some people visiting our children so we didn't do any formal lessons.
We sure did learn a lot though!
We had the computers all day and we went on
educationcity.com and played some science, language and maths games.
We also went on purplemash, designed a few cars and buildings for a future project, and we wrote a few stories. Here are some of them.
As time goes by, children are learning to become more independent. There is always some sort of computer activity going on in our class.

Farmer Duck : Certificates, Comic Strips, Wanted Posters and Much more.

Boy, did they work hard today! They were all like little Farmer Ducks (see the story in the yesterday's post), some even putting 5 pieces of work.
After that, the children who were ready explored more bits form the fantastic 2Simple Software.

(we're painting now Miss, we wrote too much today!)

Farmer Duck

Today we read this story. The children enjoyed it immensely...had a few giggles while reading it.
Tomorrow, we're going to do a few posters and comic strips on the Intel Classmates...so watch this space for some fantastic posters and comic strips.

Like and Don't like


At the moment we are doing Unit 3 from Way Ahead.

Here's how it works.

If you like apples and bananas, you say
I like apples and bananas.

If you like apples, but don't like bananas you say
I like apples but I don't like bananas.

If you don't like any of them you say
I don't like apples or bananas.


Nomi.



(Ħajr lil Mrs. Barbara, għax dak il- PPT hu xogħolha)

Colours.



In year three, children are expected to spell all the colour words properly, in English and in Maltese.

Here is a good game that will help them to spell the colour words.
