The children and I went to the Cottonera Sports Complex for a very fun, energetic, sports day. The children were exposed to a number of circuits in which they could play. Each circuit was different and at times, they were challenging than the previous ones. Such circuits include throwing the bean bags in the air and catching them, using a parachute, using a trampoline and going under a tunnel. The children also had a mid-day break in the Sports Complex whilst they also had another break when we came back to school. The children where very exhausted at the end of the day that there were some children who even slept on the ride back home. All in all, it was a very fun day!

Today, the children and I visited Ghar Dalam which is located in the outskirts of Birzebbuga. Ghar Dalam is a prehistoric site which provides ancient animal bones such as small-sized elephants and hippopotami. Please click here to find more information regarding the place.

The children had fun visiting such place as they were very interested to understand why we do not have such animals living here any more and how the animals now are formed into a bone. This intrigued the children as they were asking multiple and interesting questions. There were also a few of the children who were afraid going into a cave but the rest wanted to explore even further.

To see if the children are interested in exotic animals, we went to the zoo named ‘L-Arka ta’ Noe’. As seen above, the children saw various and multiple animals such as the lions, tigers, lamas and kangaroo amongst others. Most of the animal that the children loved is the lion. A child said that he loves the lion most because it seems like a big cat. Another child noted that he loves the lion because he roars harshly. The children were very intrigued as they were asking multiple questions. The children also got the chance to sit down in the big field and eat lunch. After lunch, the children discussed what they have enjoyed about such outing and which activities they wanted to do regarding exotic animals.

This morning we went to a TOI TOI outing at the Teatru Manoel. This was a music event adapted for children at the age of three years old. The children got to learn a traditional song known as ‘bumm bumm il-bieb!’. Apart from this, the children also got to discover the most well-known games and nursery-rhymes that have accompanied Maltese children throughout the ages. Hence, the children got an insight of the Maltese folklore.

Today, the children and I went to an outing to the Eden Cinemas. The children watched the movie ‘Sonic The Hedgehog‘. The children had fun watching the movie as they were all attentive. At times the children asked me some questions regarding the characters of the movie and the sequence. The children were also given a bag of popcorn which they had eaten throughout the movie. When the movie was finished, we went back to school and the children had to draw something that they like about the cinema or the movie.

Last week we went to Zeffie’s. The children had some time to get to know one another better and play together. The children had lots of fun and where laughing and smiling all the time. At the end of the day, the children were all tired.
