P1.4 & P1.5 The Pizzeria
The Pizzeria pretend play in the classroom was a great success. The children thoroughly enjoyed exploring the environment of a busy pizzeria and immersing themselves in this imaginative play.
To create the pizzeria atmosphere in the classroom, we transformed the space into a lively and interactive setting. We hung up colourful posters depicting different types of pizza and menus with enticing descriptions of each option. The room also had various props, such as pizza boxes and aprons, which the children could wear to enhance their role-playing experience.
The children eagerly participated in pretend play, taking on different roles such as chefs, servers, hosts, waiters, cashiers and customers. They engaged in various activities such as making their own pizzas, taking orders, and delivering them to customers. The children’s creativity knew no bounds as they designed their own unique pizzas using various toppings.
It was heartwarming to witness the children’s enthusiasm and engagement during this play activity. They actively interacted with their peers, taking turns and cooperating to create a fun and immersive experience for everyone.
The pizzeria pretend play not only provided the children with a sense of joy and excitement but also allowed them to develop their social skills, fostering teamwork, communication, and problem-solving. They learned how to communicate effectively, take turns, and work collaboratively to create an enjoyable pizza experience for everyone.
Overall, the Pizzeria pretend play in the classroom was a resounding success. The children thoroughly enjoyed their time in this imaginative setting, and we believe that this experience will have a lasting impact on their learning and development.

This outing complemented our project about jungle animals. This experience has catered the students with great knowledge and skills with regards to the different types of jungle animals. Throughout this field trip, the students were given a tour around the animal park where they viewed different jungle animals. The guide introduced the idea of ‘predator and prey’, habitats, as well as the diets of the diverse animals. The students also had the opportunity to feed some animals.

P1.4 Literacy session with parents
Ms Morales started off by explaining the phases that young children normally go through to start developing their reading and writing skills and how they can achieve such skills. Ms Morales shared some everyday no-prep activities that parents can do with their children to help them develop and enhance their literacy skills. The session ended with both the parents and children participating in three activities. The first group were practicing the formation of each letter and saying words that start with that letter (focusing on the formation and recognition); the second group were matching two pictures that start with the same letter (focusing on phonemic awareness); and the third group were placing each letter cap to the correct picture which can also be played as bingo (focusing on letter recognition and sound).

P1.1 Dinosaurs
Our class discussed and explored the topic about dinosaurs. We had the opportunity to meet online one of the team members at Esplora. He provided a lot of information about dinosaurs and he also answered the questions the students had. We learnt about the sound and the writing of the letter “d” (as in “dinosawri”) during a Maltese lesson. The students had the opportunity to speak about their creative project related to dinosaurs during a Show and Tell activity in class.

P1.1 Solid Shapes
Our class is learning about solid shapes. We explored the faces, edges and vertices of a cone and compared it to real things that have the shape of the cone. One thing that came up was the Carnival hat. We enjoyed creating our own Carnival cone hat.

P1.6 Dance Activity 2020
As part of the EU Code Week, the Directorate for Digital Literacy & Transversal skills, encouraged educators to dedicate one hour to a fun coding/dancing activity with their students. Through the Dance Party unplugged activity, no devices are needed and students could learn coding concepts to choreograph a dance party together whilst keeping physically distant. Submissions will be shared on the DDLTS FB page Digital Education in Malta (facebook.com/DigitalEducMalta).
The students practiced the movements according to the colours. The teacher Ms Borg and the LSEs Ms Galea and Ms Busuttil organised the activity.

P1.1
At our school, Żabbar Primary A, today 30th October, it was “Autumn Celebration Day”. Our class had the opportunity to discuss, gather information, explore and investigate about autumn. The students had the time to reflect on what autumn reminds them off, discuss and share ideas. As the teacher, I was writing their brainstormed ideas on the board (map). Afterwards, the students practiced some letter recognition and the first sound of words taken from those on the board.
Together as a class, we went down to our school yard and managed to collect some perfectly sized stones to use for our next activity. Letters were written in ink on the stones. The students practiced some more letter recognition. Then they had the opportunity to paint over the outline of the letters. As the teacher, I chose two words from the brainstorming of the map. We were counting the number of letters in each word (counting and value). Emphasis was put on identifying the difference between letters and words.
Then the students were investigating about how to make up the words using the letters on their stone. With some help, the students managed to place the stones in order to form the words. During these activities, the students also had the time for physical movement and creativity.
