Mr Jason Gauci, dyslexia specialist, is coordinating the collaboration of Let Me Learn, Writing Process and Literacy Support within the church primary schools. This team of professionals is already embarking on a number of projects. A year 2 class in St Benild’s School is currently doing a session of writing, incorporating the four learning patterns and a variety of skills, while exploring the topic of Farm Animals.
Another very interesting event was the ‘Little Literates’ activity which was organised by the same group of people. Students from grade 3 classes in church schools have been invited to Valletta for an activity which revolved around writing using the four LML characters, Geru, Fina, Faru and Zringi. The students excitedly walked from the Auberge D’Italie, to the Manoel Theatre, and also to the Museum of Fine Arts, doing a variety of activities at each station.
Students were engaged in tasks such as hunting for a treasure, building a galleon and also writing their own story. This was an extremely successful event in which students experienced writing through fun activities. Photos of the event are shown below.
