Oh Happy Day!!

Yesterday we celebrated carnival. The children came to school in their carnival costumes. We did some crafts related to the "Dinja Wahda" project, we ate muffins and watched the different carnival activities organised by different classes in the school yard.

A big 'prosit' goes to the Year 3 classes - they did the traditional 'parata tal-karnival'. This dance opens the carnival in Valletta. Read this information :
Il-Karnival jibda s-sibt bil-Parata din hija żifna bix-xwabel li tirrafigura ġlieda. Il-Parata bdiet issir biex tiġi mfakkra r-rebħa tal-Kavallieri fuq it-Torok fl-Assedju ta’ l-1565. Fiha għandek żewġ gruppi wieħed liebes ta’ Kavallieri u l-ieħor liebes ta’ Torok u dawn jibdew taqtiha bix-xwabel, naturalment iż-żifna tispiċċa bir-rebħa tal-Kavallieri. Fl-aħħar taż-żifna dawk lebsin ta’ Kavallieri jgħollu fuq l-idejn tifla bi stallett f’idha msejħa l-Għarusa li tirrappreżenta r-rebħa.
Enjoy your holidays but make sure you read at least 20 minutes each day!

Way Ahead classwork


This is what Kayleigh and Kimberly wrote yesterday as part of their school work:

Jill is walking on the long, blue bridge which leads to the lighthouse. Dad is sleeping against the big tree. Emma is chasing a blue and yellow butterfly. Ned is jumping into the pond and two fish came flopping out!

Well Done! - and a warm welcome to Kayleigh Ann :-)
