🌈🐠🎶 A Journey Through Habitats, Friendship, Feelings and Music! 🎶🌍💙

Our Year 2 students have been enjoying a wonderful learning journey that has taken them far beyond the classroom!

What began as an exploration of different habitats led them to the Malta National Aquarium, where they discovered the fascinating world beneath the waves. 🐟🌊 Their journey continued through the beautiful story of The Rainbow Fish, which taught them a valuable lesson about friendship, kindness and how true happiness comes from sharing with others. 🌈❤️

Today, this journey culminated in another exciting experience as our students explored the world of feelings through music during Sounds Like Me, a fantastic interactive session organised by MPO Kids, the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra's programme for children. 🎻🥁🎵

Beginning with Vivaldi's The Four Seasons, our young learners discovered how music can reflect the beauty and changing moods of nature. They then embarked on a musical journey through different habitats, exploring the unique sounds associated with each environment and how these can be brought to life through music. 🌿🌧️🐦

The experience continued with a fascinating exploration of the connection between music and emotions, as students discovered how different instruments, melodies and rhythms can express and evoke a whole range of feelings. 🎼💭

And what better way to let off some steam than with an enthusiastic drumming session, where everyone had the opportunity to express themselves through rhythm and sound! 🥁✨

It was a truly holistic, multisensory learning experience, beautifully bringing together Science, Literacy, PSCD, Music and emotional expression in a way that was both meaningful and memorable.

A heartfelt thank yMalta Philharmonic Orchestra Orchestra and Daniel Cauchi for such a wonderfully organised, engaging and interactive experience.

💻 Coding Adventures at Sacred Heart Junior School – October! 🌍🔬

Sacred Heart Junior School continued its exciting coding journey throughout the month of October, with pupils across different year groups taking part in a variety of fun, hands-on activities, creatively linking Coding with Science through a cross-curricular approach!

🌱 Year 5 and Year 6 pupils explored life cycles by programming Sphero robots to represent and demonstrate different stages of life cycles, bringing their Science learning to life through coding.

💻 Other year groups designed their very own coding cards using recycled cereal boxes, created pathways on their tables and used block coding to guide the Photon robot along the correct routes.

🌍 Our young explorers also used the Qobo robot to travel around the world, navigating a world map, avoiding rivers, lakes and waterfalls, and making their way to famous landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty and the Great Wall of China!

⚡ Year 2 pupils investigated forces and friction through an exciting Sphero experiment. They tested how the robot rolled across different surfaces and discovered that:

Sphero rolled faster and more easily on smooth surfaces.
It slowed down or got stuck on rough surfaces.
Its rubber cover created more friction.
What a fantastic way to combine technology, creativity, problem-solving and scientific investigation! Our pupils continue to develop their coding skills while making meaningful connections with the world around them.

Well done to all our young coders and scientists! 👏🚀 ... See MoreSee Less
