During a short visit in Austria last summer I came across an Austrian proverb which said ‘If you can dream it, you can make it’. Continue reading ‘Headmaster’s Message’
As part of the Nutrition topic the children in Ms. Grima’s class and Ms. Montebello’s (LSA) prepared Fruit Kebabs. The children talked about the different fruit, their colours, their textures and their nutritional value. They understood the importance of cleanliness when preparing and handling food. They also discussed the importance of the five daily fruit and vegetable servings. The children enjoyed this activity and their fruit kebabs.
Children in Kinder 2.1 visited ‘Frott Artna’ in Mgarr from where we get our weekly supply of fruit and vegetables. The children were taken around the fields where they saw the different fruit.. They also visited a small farm where they saw some small animals. Before they left the children were given strawberries, water melon and melon to eat. The children enjoyed the outing and they were able to understand more from where and how we get our fruit and vegetables.

Last Wednesday 28th April, 2010 St. Theresa College, St. Venera Primary hosted two Year 3 classes from Lija Primary to participate in a Science and Technology Lesson which was part of a whole week programme regarding a Healthy Way of Living.
Our Science teacher Ms. Finocchiaro gave a lesson both to our pupils and to Lija pupils about ‘How do you like your toast?’ The week before our pupils went for a visit to a local company which produces bread.
The pupils were first invited for a talk given by a Home Economics teacher about ‘How to prepare a healthy packed lunch’. Then they went to their classrooms together with the Lija pupils to prepare a toast with difference fillings such as ricotta, tomatoes, honey, cheese , baked beans and eggs.
Meanwhile their parents attended a similar talk and afterwards they went to their child’s class where a sandwich was prepared by the children themselves.
The College Principal shared this experience with the children.
Both children, teachers and parents enjoyed the activity and are looking forward to other such activities.
It-tfal kollha tal-Year 1 kellhom sezzjoni ta’ qari mill-għalliema rispettivi tagħhom, fejn matulha qraw il-ktieb bl-isem “Borma Minestra” ta’ Trevor Zahra. Permezz tal-mistoqsijiet li poġġew l-għalliema, t-tfal kellhom l-opportunita’ jaħsbu u jantiċipaw x’kien se jiġri fl-istorja filwaqt li jimitaw lil karattri tal-istorja nnifisha billi jixħtu l-ingredjenti msemmija fl-istorja, fil-borma li kellhom fil-klassi.
Wara l-istorja t-tfal kellhom ċans jiddiskutu liema ingredjenti jintużaw biex wieħed jipprepara borma minestra, tajba għall-ikel. Ladarba ddeċidew l-ingredjenti, l-ġenituri tat-tfal infushom għenu lil uliedhom iqattgħu l-ingredjenti u jimlew il-borma. Sakemm il-borom kienu fuq in-nar, il-ġenituri għenu lit-tfal jippreparaw ‘bookmark’ forma ta’ zunnarija. Fl-aħħar it-tfal, l-għalliema u l-ġenituri kielu platt minestra tajba!
Fis-27 t’April, 2010 saret attivita’ fejn it-tfal ta’ Kinder 2.4 flimkien mal-Kindergarten Assistant Ms. Nathalie Attard u l-LSA Ms. Therese Cassar ippreparaw il-patata maxx.
Ftit ġranet qabel l-attivita’, it-tfal raw lill-bdiewa jaqilgħu l-patata mill-għalqa tagħhom. Flimkien mal-għalliema tagħhom iddiskutew u raw ukoll stampi ta’ kif tikber il-patata.
Il-ħiliet tat-tfal li jisimgħu b’attenzjoni, li jaħsbu u li jitkellmu wara xulxin komplew jiġu żviluppati meta flimkien mal-għalliema tagħhom iddiskutew u raw ukoll stampi ta’ kif tikber il-patata.
L-attivita’ bdiet bil-ħasil tal-patata u ġiet enfasizzata l-indafa waqt it-tħejjija tal-ikel. It-tfal kienu entużjasti u ħadu gost ħafna jogħrku l-patata bejn is-swaba’ ż-żgħar tagħhom. B’dan il-moviment it-tfal komplew jiżviluppaw il-muskoli ż-żgħar tagħhom. Dan jippreparahom għall-kitba iktar ’il quddiem.
Wara, t-tfal raw lill-patata titpoġġa fil-majkrowejv u ssir. Kif il-patata kienet lesta għall-ikel, l-għalliema qassmuha. It-tfal qaxxruha b’attenzjoni kbira għax kienet taħraq. Issa wasal il-waqt li l-patata tiġi mgħaffġa. B’dan il-moviment komplew jiġu żviluppati l-muskoli ż-żgħar speċjalment dawk tal-polz li jħejju t-triq għall-kitba. Kienet esperjenza sabiħa għat-tfal. Kulħadd beda jgħaffeġ il-patata u l-butir. Ix-xjenza daħlet hawn ukoll. Il-butir beda jinħall mal-patata sħuna u ma baqax iktar solidu iżda sar likwidu.
Fl-aħħar il-patata maxx kienet lesta. It-tfal sodisfatti u ferħanin bis-sehem li taw, kiluha bil-qalb.
Ir-reċta ‘It-Tellieqa’ ttellghet mill-klassijiet tar-Raba’ u l-Ħames Sena. It-tema tar-reċta kienet dwar is-Saħħa u l-ikel bnin. Il-ġenituri kienu mistiedna biex jaraw ir-reċta.
Sports activities are being organized as part of ‘Healthy LifeStyle’ week at our school. Basketball, Football and Handball Leagues are taking place during both breaks during this week.
