Għat-tfal kollha dakinhar tkun ġurnata normali, jiġifieri l-iskola tispiċċa fis-2.15pm għat-tfal tal-kinder u fis-2.30pm għat-tfal tal-primarja. Nitolbukom tikkoperaw magħna għas-sigurta’ tat-tfal. Se jkun provdut is-servizz ta’ fotografu. Nixtieq infakkarkom ukoll fid-Data Protection Act.
Kull sena, fis-6 ta’ Diċembru l-iskola Primarja tas-Siġġiewi tiċċelebra bil-kbir il-festa ta’ San Nikola – il-patrun tas-Siġġiwin. Dakinhar it-tfal jilbsu ta’ personaġġi li jissemmew fl-istorja ta’ San Nikola bħal ngħidu aħna t-tliet xebbiet, il-baħrin u San Nikola. Personaġġi oħra jinkludu l-granmastru Hompesch u Dun Salvo Curso. Barra dawn il-personaġġi jieħdu sehem ukoll l-iscouts u l-abbatini. Tfal oħra jagħtu sehemhom billi jerfgħu l-istatwa ta’ San Nikola, il-bandalora, il-lanterni, il-fjuri, it-tabelli, l-manna, ix-xemgħa u l-ħobż – dawn tal-aħħar jirrappreżentaw simboli mill-istorja. Din tizvolġi f’purċissjoni twila bil-parteċipazzjoni ta’ tista’ tgħid it-tfal tal-iskola kollha. Dan kollu jista’ jsir biss bl-għajnuna ta’ ħafna nies li jgħinu lill-iskola biex tkun tista’ tiġi organizzata din il-purċissjoni tassew sabiha. F’din il-festa jingħaqdu magħna wkoll iż-żewġ baned tar-raħal, l-għaqda tal-armar u għall-ewwel darba kellna wkoll il-parteċipazzjoni tal-kunsill lokali. Fil-festa ta’ din is-sena nġabru flus għall-Istrina, u b’hekk kellna l-unur li jingħaqad magħna s-Sur Preca li faħħar lit-tfal għall-entużjażmu tagħhom.
Ms Claudine Chircop, class teacher of Year 4.1 Parrots, has participated in EMBED Digital Literacy Awards 2017 with a project about a famous Maltese personality, Dun Karm Psaila, which demonstrates the use of creative and inclusive learning methods that achieve outstanding results, with the potential to be replicated and or of inspiration to others. Infact we are pleased to announce that this project has been awarded first place in the Innovative Digital Learning Project Category.
Ms Claudine Chircop has also placed first in the use of Online Learning: Use of iLearn Category. The project presented the use of Fronter which allowed multi-modlity: text, images and video as well as great utilization of “flipped classroom” learning. The use of iLearn was a great way to involve parents too.
As Mr Zammit, Director for Digital Literacy and Transversial Skills stated,
“EMBED is a tiny recognition but a hugely important one as it demonstrates dedication and exceptional quality of teachers while making best use of digital technology in class.”
Most importantly such work leaves a positive impact on the students’ learning experience.
