Science and Technology Tournament for Years 6 and 7 - Alternative Energies

The team made up of Isaac Borg, Brandon Bonnici, Ylenia Micallef, Nicole Cremona and Chanelle Muscat, have won the Science and Technology Tournament for Years 6 and 7 at our school.

The challenge was to build a contraption using solar energy to heat water in a plastic container. Mr Borg who works with Eco-Group came to talk to us about solar energy while our Science Teacher, Mrs Cauchi, told us about heat, insulators, colours and other interesting stuff.

Well done to our winning team. We are proud of your effort and success.

Congratulations!

MAY 22nd, CLASS VISIT TO NOTRE DAME GATE

On Tuesday, 22nd May, we visited Notre Dame Gate at Vittoriosa where we were shown around by representatives of Fondazzjoni Wirt Artna. We were amazed at the beautiful halls and underground rooms there are in this historical site. The place is being restored to its former glory. Even a drawbridge is going to be built!

We also saw the enormous bust of GrandMaster Nicola Cottoner after whom the Three Cities : Senglea, Cospicua and Vittoriosa - are named.

Chev. Tony C. Cutajar accompanied us during this visit. We have collaborated with this popular Maltese author on his new book : It-Tezor Mohbi ta' Bieb is-Sultan.

It was an educational experience which we shall not forget.

OUR EDUCATIONAL OUTING OF 25TH APRIL, 2007

Last Wednesday our class together with Year 6C went to Valletta on a very interesting educational outing.

First we visited the Lascaris War Rooms where we were shown around by a well-informed guide. It was humbling to visit the place where a thousand soldiers worked each day to keep track of air-raids over our islands!

Next we went to Dar il-Mediterran where we watched The Malta Experience. This taught us about the history of our islands and our fore-fathers.

Finally we visited the War Museum where we saw first-hand the uniforms, weapons, etc used during World War II.

Our teacher took a photo of us next to Faith, one of the three aeroplanes we had during that war.

IT-TEZOR TA' BIEB IS-SULTAN

Our class welcomed the popular Maltese author Chev. Tony C. Cutajar to our class during the first term.

He encouraged us to collaborate with him on his new novel - It-Tezor ta' Bieb is-Sultan. We were divided into groups. Each group had to write about the treasure GrandMaster Cottoner is looking at.

Svetlana Fenech's story was adopted by the author.

Last Saturday, a group of us went for a photo session near Bieb is-Sultan as the book is going to contain our real names and real photos.

We're looking forward to the publishing of this book where we are the protagonists! What an honour!

Mrs. Pulis's dad, Mr. Paul Tonna, is acting out the part of the farmer who gets angry at Nicole, Karl and Ryan for trespassing on his land!!

PRIZE DAY - March 2007

This year, our class took part in the musical Annie as part of Prize Day's Concert.

Naomi played the role of Mrs. Hannigan, Nathan was Mr. Warbucks, Matthew was Rooster. Annie was played by Cody of Year 6C.

All the students took part. It was hard work but it was all worth it!

Happy Viewing! Well done to all those involved!!!

Ms LISA HAMLIN - A SPECIAL STORY-TELLER AT OUR SCHOOL - 25th JANUARY, 2007

Today we were lucky to have Ms Lisa Hamlin read us a chapter from the book called HOOT. She read to us from the heart and we enjoyed every minute of it! Now we're looking forward to reading the rest of this exciting story!

Before she began to read for us, we each asked her a question to get to know her better.

She is a very friendly, out-going person and we shall never forget her! Before we left the reading-room, she gave us a pin with the colours of the American flag and a book by Mark Twain called The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

HELPING MOTHER NATURE AND PROTECTING OUR ENVIRONMENT

Today at school, Isaac Borg and Karl Debono brought books and gadgets to help us understand

how we can make a difference in protecting our environment.

One of these was a small fan which had tiny solar panels attached to it. Karl kept the solar panels facing the sun and then showed us how the fan worked.

Isaac showed us a calculator which worked by solar energy.

At home, we can also use energy saving lights and switch off all electrical appliances when they are not in use.

Nathlin Johnson took note of all the above as she, who is a member of the school's Student Council, intends to talk about these to the Head and Council members during a future meeting.

We learnt how we each can make a small difference in helping to stop the damage to the environment.
