Kids Dig Science

Kids Dig Science is back with a whole new line up of science, theatre and fun experiments. Join us on the 20th October at Spazju Kreattiv between 3 and 5pm for our first session this season. It’s ADHD Awareness Month and we want to help children understand that different is great too.Whoever said the heart works in mysterious ways knows not what he is saying. We know exactly how the heart works, it’s pretty straightforward actually… blood in, blood out. Now, the brain is a whole new kettle of fish. Did I say fish? What I really meant are chemicals, electric impulses, strata, synapses, lobes, cortex, neurons… ok you get my drift. Mysterious is an understatement and yet a team of researchers at the University of Malta are working on unraveling the differences between a neurotypical brain and those which functions on ADHDthrough EEGs, which track and record brain wave patterns.
Now then how do we go about explaining ADHD, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder to kids? That’s up to our puppets to figure out and your kids to find out, in one of our most mindboggling adventures to date.
If you know of a teenager (12-16 year olds) who deals with ADHD on a daily basis and wishes to participate in this groundbreaking research project, please contact nowell.zammit@um.edu.mt

Xalati Ta’ Kitba

Kull xahar l-Aġenzija Nazzjonali tal-Litteriżmu torganizza Xalata ta’ kitba, bil-Malti u/jew bl-Ingliż, għal tfal ta’ bejn il-5 snin u 12-il sena, u l-familja/kustodji tagħhom. Ix-Xalati ta’ Kitba jdewqu lill-familji kif jaħdem il-proċess tal-kitba u jsiru f’ambjenti rilassanti u ta’ gost.

Ix-Xalati huma bla ħlas u jsiru f’diversi siti u lokalitajiet naturali, storiċi, arkeoloġiċi u kulturali madwar Malta u Għawdex.

Imsieħba f’din l-inizzjattiva mal-Aġenzija Nazzjonali tal-Litteriżmu hemm entitajiet oħra fosthom Heritage Malta, li tgħin fl-organizzazzjoni ta’ dawn ix-Xalati fil-mużewijiet Maltin u Għawdxin.

Ix-Xalati ta’ Kitba joffru opportunita’ unika lill-ġenituri/kustodji sabiex jipparteċipaw ma’ wliedhom f’attivitajiet ta’ kitba divertenti u prattiċi. Fl-attivitajiet il-ġenituri/kustodji jitħarrġu kif iħaddmu strateġiji tal-kitba li mbagħad ikunu jistgħu jużawhom ma’ wliedhom id-dar meta t-tfal ikollhom xogħol ta’ kitba. Waqt dawn ix-xalati l-parteċipanti jingħataw ktieb mill-isponsor uffiċċjali ta’ dawn ix-Xalati – Merlin Publishers.
