Morning assembly

The assembly in English.
Good morning dear readers, here is today’s assembly in English.
Today is the 30th of March. How time flies!
I hope you had a good weekend. When I was a child I used to love my weekends. They were the time when I enjoyed my parents because they didn’t work on Saturday or Sunday. During the week they were always busy with work, like many of your parents.
A couple of days ago we had the awful news that we will not be going back to school for this scholastic year. I can imagine what you felt and what you are feeling now. We are feeling the same way as you are. We would have loved to tell you how much we love you, and how proud we are of you, watching you grow in your strengths. We didn’t even get the time to hug goodbye before school shut down. We couldn’t. Even if we knew, we could not get close to each other! These are strange times indeed.
The doctors and scientists are telling us not to huge. Not to shake hands. Not to go near our grandparents. Not to visit people in hospital. Not to chat with people on the street. Shops and restaurants have closed. Our police force is going around telling people to disperse and go home. The Birkirkara market is no more. Even our festa and our mass in church are stopped. All sports activities, and all activities where people gather together. Imagine! Even the Eurovision is cancelled this year. Can you imagine how sad that made me! I already had picked up my favourite song. But that’s how things are and we have to accept them. Everything can wait.
Our health comes first.
Everything will have to wait. School and our relatives. But your education does not have to wait. Your education will and must go on. But how?
The picture here shows you how your learning will continue. Just follow your teachers’ pages for the subjects on the left hand side of the picture and the school facebook page for the subjects on the right. In the coming weeks the small pictures might change. Our school building may be closed, but our work is very much active.
For parents: If you have any trouble connecting with internet access to our educational platforms kindly:
a) Check with other parents of your class.
b) Call 2598 5540 or 2598 5548/9 during office hours.
c) Send us a message on this page.
d) If you still have problems, please phone 25981000 and speak to the Education Division’s helpline.
Today is Pets Day.
Our school is still very much alive. We are not meeting physically but we are doing it here on the internet. So our activities will carry on. Today we would like you to post a photo of your pet. Our pets have a very important role in this quarantine. They are giving us a lot of comfort and companionship. I am sure your pets are loving quarantine! So much time to spend with you!
Let us pray.
Today we will think of Pope Francis, who has asked us all to pray for him as he is praying for us.
Let us pray:
In the name of the Father…
Our Father, who art in heaven…
Hail Mary, full of grace…
Glory be, to the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost…
St. Theresa, Pray for us.
In the name of the Father…
The national anthem:
Good morning!
Mr D Grech

Maths for year 4 students

Good morning to all!

Today we are going to continue so we can understand better what equivalent fractions are.

Let's remember:

What is a fraction?
A fraction represents a part of a whole.

What are equivalent fractions?
Equivalent fractions are fractions with different numbers that show the same part of a whole. They have different numerators and denominators, but the fractional values are the same.

Yesterday I explained how to multiply to get an equivalent fractions. Today we are going to see more equivalent fractions by dividing.
Dividing
Here are some more equivalent fractions, this time by dividing:

÷ 3÷ 6
right over arrow   right over arrow
18 = 6 = 1
36122

Maths for year 4 students

Today we are going to conitnue so we can understand better what equivalent fractions are.

Let's remember:

What is a fraction?
A fraction represents a part of a whole.

What are equivalent fractions?
Equivalent fractions are fractions with different numbers that show the same part of a whole. They have different numerators and denominators, but the fractional values are the same.



Equivalent Fractions have the same value, even though they may look different.
These fractions are really the same:
12  =  24  =  48
Why are they the same? Because when you multiply or divide both the top and bottom by the same number, the fraction keeps it's value.
The rule to remember is:
"Change the bottom using multiply or divide,
And the same to the top must be applied"  

Here is why those fractions are really the same:
    × 2            × 2 
right over arrow   right over arrow
1 = 2 = 4
248
right under arrow   right under arrow
× 2× 2

And visually it looks like this:

1/22/44/8

                 pie 1/2                pie 2/4                   pie 4/8


Now let's watch another video of an explanation of equivalent fractions:
