Hello to our friends from Slovenia

Foreign Partners...

All the kids at Year 4 Orange are pleased to announce that they have just set up special partnerships with a primary school in Slovenia. After exchanging some christmas cards, work is currently undergoing to exchange more crafts or cards on the Easter theme. More information will follow soon.


More than that, we are also pleased to announce that our school has just entered in a two-year Commenius project together with one school from Glasgow in Scotland and another school in Sweden! More information about this project will be available soon.

Welcome to our school..

This clip was shown for the first time on November 21st, 2007. As part of our morning Assembly, we decided it would be fun to produce something about the school where we spend so much time at. All photos were taken by us, the students, a week before the special assembly took place. For some us, it was the first we had handled a digital camera.

Special thanks goes to Ms Frances, ICT teacher who guided us throughout.

Reach for the Sun...

We would like to wish all our teachers, all our friends at school, all our friends in foreign schools, all our parents, all our relatives and all watching this clip a very happy Christmas. We hope that you will try to be nice to each other this christmas, smile as much as possible and be happy. In other words try reach for the sun...; that's what Christmas is all about!

Traffic Awareness Day....

One of our first activities at school this year was what we called 'Traffic Awareness Day'. Police officers came to our school to talk to us about the importance taking good care while in the street. Following those talks we went down the yard and went in some of the police vehicles on show. A small track was built and everybody could pretend he/she is walking in the street. All street laws, including zebra crossings, had to be observed. In the end, we attended to police dogs' show.

Luxol grounds...

May 25th:

Whole session of practicising diffferent kinds of skills including relays, throwing, catching, passing, dribbling, shooting and lots more took place at the Luxol grounds this morning. Trained instructors from the 'Bobby Charlton Soccer School' led the whole sessions. The only problem was that it was very hot, too hot infact! Despite the heat, it was a very good work-out indeed...

More info to follow soon...

SPORTS Day...

April 2nd was our Sports Day. We linked with other year 4 students from around 20 other schools and took part in what turned out to be a very active day. We practiced various skills from different kinds of sport disciplines such as hockey, football, basketball, handball, rugby.

We also practiced various other skills including passing, dribbling, running, balancing, hurdling, jumping and also teamwork! All the games were enjoyable and a big thank you goes to all the P.E. teachers who organized the event. We look forward to build on the skills learned today..!

Fieldwork @ Buskett...

March 21st: On a bright and sunny but a rather chilly first day of Spring, we left our school on our way to Buskett Gardens. We arrived at around 9:45 a.m. After a short walk we stopped for a short break. Soon after we set off on our tasks; collecting small materials and listing various things around us such as sounds, living things, non-living things, soft and hard materials, leaves, insects etc etc

On our arrival back to school we discussed our day and at home we had to complete some leaf-rubbing which we had brought with us from Buskett.

A perfect day to start the new season indeed...!

Carnival. . . .

After the end of our Half-Yearly exams, it was time to relax and enjoy a bit ourselves today at school as we celebrated the start of Carnival festivities! After gathering inside our class for a brief discussion on the tradition of the Maltese Carnival, we had our quick lunches, and soon we were out in the yard. Each and every class had its' own parade infront of the rest of the school while our head of school entertained us with some lovely tricks and games! In the end we spent the last 15 minutes dancing to the Carnival tune and to other music!

Our class boasted some wonderful costumes amongst which one could find indians, cowboys, witches, space girls, little signiorinas, wrestlers, power rangers, clowns, a harry potter and also soldiers (including roman soldiers).... It was soooooo much fun! :)

It's Winter Time. . . .

Winter Time in our school! This photo has been taken from our corridor recently by our mates of year 6. It shows part of our school yard on a very wet day.

Winter Time in our school means also tests and examinations and right now everyone is busy studying and preparing for our mid-yearly examinations!!!

Handball Festival

On Wednesday 17th January, our class took part in a National HANDBALL Festival @ the indoor gym of the University Sports complex. Different skills were practiced throughout the first sessions. This was followed by an interesting talk about the Olympics where all our curiosities were satisfied! Following this talk, we particpated in two friendly Handball matches; against Attard Primary we ran out 3-1 winners. In our second match we overcame Msida Primary 2-0!!

Looking forward to our next P.E. session where we hope we will be strengthening our newly acquired skills in this interesting game!

Christmas Party 2006

On Friday 22nd December, we organized a school based Christmas Party. We danced to music and played lots of games in the morning. After a short break we all had something to drink & nibble. Soon after, we went down to our school hall as our head of school is an excellent MAGICIAN and we all enjoyed his show! One of our classmates was also called on stage to assist him in his tricks! We wished each other a very happy christmas and soon it was time to go back home. We will back on Monday 8th January. In the mean time Happy Holidays to everyone :) x x x - Yr 4 Orange

Teachers vs Students - No COMMENTS pls :)

As it is our Xmas tradition at our school, on Concert Day, a football match between teachers and the school team takes place in our yard. The match was quite a contest, with students giving their all, in their quest to topple their teachers, at least for the day! For the record, teachers won the match 5 goals to 3! The rest of the school watched from the sidelines, and support was almost equally divided, although teachers did receive that extra encouragement from those watching! At the end, of the match all players shook hands, but till this very day, talk is still going on as to who deserved to win or not! Unfortunately for the students, it seems they will have to wait yet another year, for them to be able to say "We have managed to beat our teachers."

CHRISTMAS Concert

Tuesday 19th December: our class took part in our annual Xmas concert in front of our schoolmates. First we sang a song called "If we all give a little'. Our second item included a dance to the music of the song "Do they know it's Christmas Time?" Everyone enjoyed it and almost everyone congratulated us for our excellent performance on stage! In this photos we can be seen straight after our performance together with our class teacher, student teacher and facilitator.

Outing 2 the wonderful silent city of MDINA

On Tuesday 21st November, our class went to Rabat. We visited St. AGatha's Catacombs and its' Museum. We went on to visit St.Paul's Grotto, underneath St. Paul's Church.
