Dear Parents, students and friends,

Welcome to our first newsletter for this scholastic year.  I hope that you all enjoyed your summer break.  At school we are already working on a number of projects which you will read about in this Newsletter. 

Comenius Project

This exciting project is now in its second year and we have already started doing a number of activities.  The Junor 1s, 2s and 3s worked on story telling in Maltese.  They used 2 books called Pina tat is-sufan and Il-Libsa ta’ Sina.  The teachers read the stories, then the children colored pictures depicting the story and even made a collage of some of the pictures.  The 2 books as well as the artwork were given to all our partners. Our partner schools gave us their work and their books, which were all shown to our students.  The Junior 4s, 5s and 6s worked on the historical aspect of the project.  This was linked to Social Studies.  Three famous Maltese personalities from the past, Dun Mikiel Xerri, Sir Temmy Zammit and Dun Karm Psaila were chosen.  A folder was created using pictures and some information about these personalities.  This work was also given to our partner schools.  Our partner schools in turn will be giving us their work and in this way all our students will be learning some history of the countries of our partner schools. Some teachers from Hungary, Poland and England visited our school.  The Junior 4s, 5s and 6s prepared a short welcome celebration for our colleagues.

Who’s that? 

Who’s that laying in the corner?

Who’s that swimming in the sea?

When to open that mystery door?

With what, maybe a key?

But why do I unlock secrets?

Just for a simple prize?

Or is it for a noble quest?

That needs one more try.

But these words going on in my head longingly

Who? What? When? Where? Why?

The Weird Dragon

Once upon a time, in a far away land, there lived a dragon.  This dragon was not an ordinary dragon, as instead of shooting fire, he shot ice.

This special dragon lived in a cave in Antartica.  There are many legends about him.  This dragon likes to eat bricks of ices and people say that he can sleep for thousands of years.  It is also said that in the dragon’s cave, there are lots of diamonds. 

Many Eskimos have tried to take diamonds out of the dragon’s cave, but whoever went in did not come out.

One day, an American explorer came to visit Antartica.  During his visit, he made a terrible mistake.  He went straight to the dragon’s cave.  There he was met by a horrible sight as the cave was full of frozen skeletons.  The dragon was also there but luckily he was fast asleep.

The explorer took many pictures, both of the skeletons as well as of the dragon.  But all of a sudden, right after the flash, the dragon slowly opened his eyes.  He immediately saw the intruder in his cave and roared very loudly.

The explorer was petrified and found that he could not even run…….

The dragon came closer and closer to the explorer.  Suddenly, the dragon moved his hand towards the explorer and handed him a bag full of eggs.  These were not ordinary eggs, they were dragon eggs.  The dragon looked as if he was going to die.  Suddenly he just vanished off the face of the earth.  That was the end of the dragon.  He was never heard of again.

The explorer realised that he was the only one to own these special dragon eggs.  He decided to take tham to a safe place.  When the people of the town heard that the explorer had these dargon eggs, some tried their luck at stealing them but to no avail.  The explorer had turned his hiding place into a very safe dungeon.  He fit laser alarms so that if anyone got anywhere close, a loud siren would go off.  After some time, everyone gave up trying to steal these eggs.  After studying these eggs, the explorer decided to turn them into a tourist attraction. 

Nowadays, the dungeon with dinosaur eggs is a very popular tourist attraction.
