Hello children….. and parents.   Happy New Year. Hope you had good holidays where you rested and had fun.  Sorry for the long silence on my part but my body needed a longer rest than I thought.  Now hopefully my batteries are re-charged for another exciting term.

As you can see we have a new image to our blog.  Hope you like it and soon I hope to have a fabulous picture of all of you to go for our header.  See you all on Thursday. xxxx

I would like to wish all my dear Children a very Merry Christmas. Please be good and remember what Santa told us!!!

Also would like to extend these greetings to all the parents.  Thank you all for your collaboration and support.  May the Blessed Jesus bless on you and your families always.

Now I’m off to follow Doctor’s orders.  Total rest and no voice use.  Will be back with new postings and resume for Having Fun after Christmas.  Were we will be will have no access to computer!!!  Hopefully will get my new self back as well. 

Take care and love you all. xxxxxx

We could not end the year without some cheer.  Here are some photos from our Christmas party.  While we all had FUN doing games and eating party food we could not but miss our friends who were not with us.  Get well soon – these memories are for you xxxx

To end our topic with lots of FUN it was planned to do some Christmas Chocolate Balls.  And what FUN!!!!  From beginning to end it was a FUN experience to all —— especially the Monster Hands going to the Bathroom and the Chocolate Moustaches!!!

Have some FUN watching these memories

Ninni la Tibkix izjed…… was our song today, while making cribs.  The children (and neither the parents), could understand how we needed a maltese loaf to make a crib!!!!

Enthusiasm grew high when it was time to make the cribs.  The children were amazed to see me cut only the front part of their bread and ask them to carve out the inside to make it look like a cave.  In unision they asked if they could eat the soft parts that they were ‘digging’ out.  Not a sound could be heard while the ‘digging’ and ’stuffing mouths’ was going on   I can tell you the smell of the freshly baked bread was mouthwatering and all I needed were some tomatoes and some olive oil!!!!!

Once the cave was created, very patiently we stuck the ‘pasturi’.  Some had the whole tribe of Bethlehem, others included even the three kings.  Obviously there was only place for Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus, with the exception of some cribs who also accomodated the cow and donkey and maybe a lamb.  Some angels were carefully stuck on the top to ‘guard’ baby Jesus

A FUN and pleasant activity.  WEll done to all.

Dear all these are the updates on our last activities before we break up for the Christmas Holidays.

• Thursday 17th : Crib Making.  Do not forget to send with your child a fresh Maltese loaf (not sliced).
• Friday 18th: Chocolate Balls.  Please supply your child with the item marked on note sent home.
• Monday 21st: Christmas Party.  Children come in casual clothes and just need a bag to carry back their decorations.  Party food and drinks to be ordered – pls send in Euro 4.50 to cover this cost.
• Just a reminder that on MOnday school finishes at 11.15.

Thank you all and a very Merry Christmas to all. xxxx

As a reward to the children, today was a Fun Day in Jnr 1C.  During the first part of the morning, the children were free to use any of the games available in class.  Some chose puzzles, others stencils to create lovely pictures.  Some other children opted to play with our big games of Ludo and Passju.  The Senduq Magiku was alos a favourite and the children wanted to play ’school’ with themselves being the teacher.  After first break the games went away and in their place came out Dressing Up and Doctor’s Set.  The immagination, the children used during these games was tremendous and it was FUN to watch them and from time to time integrate with them.  A game that the children invented while playing was ‘ Going on the Bus!!’.  This bus transformed itself into a train, – all depending on the driver’s imagination.  We also had time to list to the Christmas Story of how Baby Jesus was born as well as sing some Christmas Carols.   Have a look at the photos to see what an enjoyable day everybody had.

This week we had Show and Tell on Tuesday and a few children brought in their creative activities.  And what activities they were!!  We had a very creative Christmas tree made out of Triangles and recycled material, a snowman made out of lots of different shapes, a sort of Advent Calendar… which I must say we are still all tempting to look at the chocolate inside!!!!  And one child took up the challenge posted on the blog to create something that had to do with our theme for the Concert.  Well done to all these children for once again using their imagination to create something fantastic and to share it with us. xxxxxx
