Fix-xahar ta’ Mejju żewġ gruppi ta’ studenti mis-Seba’ u t-Tmien sena ngħataw lopportunità jieħdu sehem f’sessjonijiet organizzati mill-fondazzjoni Jarhead Young Sailors. L-istudenti nġabru fil-Marina ta’ Ta’ Xbiex fejn ġew mgħallma dwar il-miżuri tassigurtàul-ilbiesprotettiv.Warangħatawftit informazzjoni dwar id-dgħajsa, l-ibburdjar u l-importanza tar-riħ.

L-għan prinċipali ta’ din l-attività ntlaħaq għaliex l-istudenti ngħataw ħafna tagħrif u ħiliet differenti. L-istudenti tgħallmu jaħdmu fi grupp, qagħdu attenti għallistruzzjonijiet, osservaw l-ambjent ta’ madwarhom, tħarrġu fil-ħiliet neċessarji għall-isport tal-ibburdjar u ngħataw ukoll tagħrif dwar binjiet importanti madwar ilPortil-Kbir.
A group of Year 8 students took part in the Science Safari initiative on Saturday 22nd April at Pembroke Heritage Trail. Students enjoyed solving science riddles to arrive to a treasure and solve the mystery. This activity allows students to meet other Year 8 students from all over Malta while learning more about science. Below is a picture of participants from our school.
Here are a few tips which might guide you to understand Mathematics more easily and help you to be more effective at studying the subject.
It is very important that the HW assigned by the teacher is all completed. However, if you feel like you haven’t fully understood the concept, you might need to try a few extra problems. These are easy to find in your textbooks and online. Search for the same topic that you’ve be covering in class and try out some more additional questions, in order to consolidate the content. Sometimes, the answers to the questions are also provided, hence you ’d also be able to check your work.
Take your time to make sure you under-
stand what you’re reading. Take note of any definitions, formulas and important examples that are mentioned in the notes. It might help if you summarise the main parts of the topics, including useful diagrams, for a quick review every now and then.
3. Spend a few minutes studying each day
Don’t leave all the work for the last minute. In Maths, most topics build on previous knowledge that should have been mastered before. Therefore, it’ s crucial that you learn each concept well, before moving on to the next one.
4. Show your working on every problem. Get used to writing the complete solutions of problems, even when doing daily HW and revision. Necessary working always needs to be shown. In Maths exams, certain working is also assigned marks, hence you’d be missing out points if you leave it out.
5. Give extra attention to word problems
You can use word problems to test your Maths comprehension. These can be
tricky since you need to convert a sentence in English into Maths. However, word problems are a great way to train your brain. When solving a Mathsproblem, make sure you understand the situation and which techniques you’ll need to use. Sometimes, it’s necessary to read the problem more than once, in order to fully comprehend what is required of you. At times, it helps to draw a diagram, illustrating the problem.
It is important that after you’ ve completed the work assigned, you correct it – either in class, from the given answers or at times you can check your work by working back through the problem. Do not let wrong answers pass unnoticed. Revise the notes of the chapter concerned and go through the incorrect problems again to make sure that you’ ve mastered the concept.
Mathematics works in a spiral form – it builds on itself. New skills build on other skills and concepts that you’ve already learned. Hence, if you don’t have a good grasp of the topics that have already been covered, you might find yourself struggling to understand new concepts. It helps if every now and then, you work out a few problems from a previouslycovered topic to refresh your memory.
Many students get blocked when they are sitting for an exam. Hence, try to
take practice tests and work out past papers on your own, but under exam conditions, so that when it comes to the real exam you would already be acquainted to the idea and won’t feel stressed.
Remember that in Maths, not everything needs to be learnt by heart. Some formulas and methods need memorising, however it is very important that you comprehend the concepts and apply them according to the context in the given questions. Study bit by bit throughout the whole year, and don’t leave everything until the last minute. Put the required effort to succeed!

We went to Buskett in Malta for a fieldwork outing and it was amazing! We saw caterpillars, bees, flies, butterflies, etc. We first started by walking from Girgenti to Buskett and later stopped to do our first task. It was early in the morning, and we managed to do the first activity by writing a couple of words. In the second activity we threw quadrats randomly and counted how many plants and animals we caught in the quadrat. Later, we saw some weather instruments and some of us even used them, we also learned their names. This one was the funniest! The science teacher gave us a couple of images and we had to find the plants or flowers that were on the image. After we had to draw our favourite plant of our choice.
Then we walked to the main part of Buskett and took a little break. There was also the ice cream truck for whoever had money on them. After the break we went to a part of Buskett where there were a lot of birds, trees and nature and we began our second part. The second task was that we had to stay quiet and write down all the noises or sounds we heard, and see if they were natural or man-made. We then started our third task which included observation. We had to observe around us and see human impact on the environment. We had to identify if these effects are good or bad. For our next task we got a sample of soil and used it to
see its temperature, then we saw its pH by using litmus paper and a digital pH meter. We then got a string and kept on pulling it until it reaches 5.0m. We then saw how much plants there are at each 50cm. This is called a line transect. We did the final task in the class because it was getting late and school would have ended. The final task was writing two food chain examples like
That was our outing and we all had a great time! I would recommend you going to Buskett because it is one of the most beautiful places in Malta.
