Carnival Celebrations - A  different day for all the children to remember- classes were doing masks, others were playing games, whilst others watching a DVD . The day ended with a big celebration in the school hall. All children together with the teachers and the administration took part in the carnival parade were children danced to the music whilst parents from the school council showered everyone in the hall with balloons and colourful papers. On their way out the children were given a balloon, some perlini and also a piece of the delicious carnival cake 'il-prinjolata'.

Carnival Masks





On Friday 20th February, both year four classes and the year six class together with the help of the art teacher were successsful in the making of clay masks. First the children started out by watching a powerpoint and some pictures which had to do with carnival and african masks so as to get the idea of what they had to do. The second step was drawing a sketch of the masks they were going to do then it was practical time. The children were given a piece of clay and they had to make their own mask. From such pictures one can see that the children enjoyed themselves very much and managed to do very well.

In-Nanniet Tieghi


Fredu, Lela, Edgar u Mary. Hekk jisimhom in-nanniet tieghi. Omm u missier ommi huma Lela u Fredu. Dawn joqogħdu ġo dar sabiħa, fil-qalba tal-Imsida. It-tnejn li huma, kwieti u paċenzjużi. Huma nies li tqatta’ u tiekol minnhom. In-nanna tiegħi għandha xagħarha kannella, qasira u għajnejha kannella wkoll. Il-karneġġjon tagħha huwa ismar. Ma tistħi qatt, imma jekk ikollha żżomm lura milli tgħid kelma żejda ma żżommhiex. In-nannu Fredu għandu tnejn u sittin sena, għalhekk huwa penzjonant. Għandu xagħru griża u għajnejh ħodor. Il-karnġġjon tiegħu huwa bjond. In-nannu ċajtier ħafna. Qatt ma tgħaddi ġurnata li ma tarahx jitbissem. In-nannu u n-nanna Lela u Fredu qatt ma jħalluna b’xejn, dejjem iridu jaraw kif se jaqbdu jikkuntentawna kollha kemm aħna. Kull nhar ta’ ġimgħa niltaqgħu l-familja kollha għandhom u dakinhar in-nanna tlestilna x’nieklu. Omm u missier missieri, Edgar u Mary joqogħdu ħdejna eżatt. Tista tgħid bieb ma’ bieb magħna. In-nanna Mary

għandha xagħarha ‘bob’ kannella bil-“highlights” sofor. Hi għadha żżomm mal-moda u bniedma ferriħija ħafna. In-nanna għandha sittin sena u ma tidirhomx. In-nannu Edgar għandu erbgħa u sittin sena. Qargħi u x-xagħar ta’ madwar rasu griż,għajnejh kannella u għadu jmur jiġġogja s’issa. Tista tgħid li n-nannu jhobb u jżomm ruħu b’saħħtu. In-nannu għandu żewġ fatturi li huma differenti minn xulxin ħafna. L-ewwel wieħed hu li jekk jaqbad idaħħaq ma jiqafx u l-ieħor huwa li jekk jaqbad igerger ma jiqafx. Inħobbhom ħafna lin-nanniet tiegħi, l-erbgħa li huma għax dejjem sibthom meta kelli bzonnhom.

An exciting afternoon

One day after we returned from a class outing our teacher told my best friend Sarah and me to prepare a science lesson together with an experiment.

Obviously we got to work right away. After school that day Sarah came to my house to work on the project.

We looked in my science book so as to get some ideas. We had to be careful what kind of experiment we had to choose as we had to be careful that it won’t be dangerous. Finally after some time we set our minds on an experiment. We were going to decorate a plastic bottle with crocodile feet and hands. After the experiment “Lava/foam” started coming out from its top. One has to mention that foam started to come out when it was mixes with bicarbonate of soda.

We told our classmates what to bring for the experiment so that they could do the experiment with us.

On that day we went to our science classroom, we cleared our desks and together we delivered our lesson. We really had to know what we were doing as the children kept on asking us for help and obviously since we had taken over the class we had to deliver all the problems ourselves.

The lesson was over and we really enjoyed ourselves. I wish that we could do a science lesson everyday.

A traffic accident



One day I was involved in a traffic accident. I was with my father. We were driving in a dark street. It was raining and the road was wet. The car skidded and crashed into a wall. The people around us were alarmed with fear. The crash was so hard that the wall fell and if the seatbelt and the air bags had not protected us I don’t know what could have happened to me and my father. Someone called 112 for an ambulance. The ambulance came immediately. I was unconscious for a while. We arrived at the hospital and soon we were surrounded by our relatives. We had to stay in hospital for three days. Then we went back home. My family gave us a very big surprise party as a welcome back home feast.

More crafts!


This is what we love doing. The sun and the fish were done after we learned about the warm and the cold colours. The puppets on the right are fastened with butterfly clips and their legs and hands move. In the bottom left part you can see our pencil holders made from cardboard rolls.

Who are we?

St. Julian's primary school is a state school with a total population of about 150 children. School starts at 8:30 and finishes at 14:30. Most of the children are Maltese but at the moment there are several children coming from foreign countries like Russia, Bulgaria, Mongolia, Italy and other countries.
The head of school is Mr. A. Micallef and the assistant head is Ms. Pauline Formosa.

Our favourite subject. . . CRAFTS by Year 4.1




Our favourite subject is crafts. We like to do many different things using colours, papers, cardboard and glue. The teacher helps us and encourages us to be creative and original. We did many different things such as windmills, drawings of different things, pencil holders, hand patterns, puppets, Chinese lanterns and so on. We look forward for Wednesday afternoons where we spend one hour doing what we enjoy.
