Creativity
Creativity and practical exploration are an integral part of every
day learning at Malsis.
Creativity in English, through role play in class, story
telling and listening.
Many Maths concepts can be developed and understood far better
through practical play, creating pictures and visual creations.
Learning about the world around us relating to Science,
History and Geography is far more exciting with the use of practical
tasks and hands on experiences.
Drama
We highly value the development of individuals in self expression
and articulation. It is
a vital part of the development of literacy strategies and
competences.
Kindergarten and Reception use role play as an important learning
tool at the early stages.
In addition to role play Reception, Year One and Year Two have a
weekly drama session with Miss McKenna, Head of Drama.
These sessions provide an outlet for self expression and help the
development of imagination and artistic awareness.
It increases social awareness through role play as mental
awareness and fluency of speech.
The children will grow in confidence and become disciplined
in controlling body movements and verbal outbursts.
Art
As well as the artistic creativity which takes place in each class
and can be seem in display work within Pre-Prep, children in Year Two
have a specialist art lesson in the ‘Big Malsis’ art studio with Mr Cassar,
Head of Art.
With the space and resources, it provides, children are able to
develop specific skills as well as an appreciation of art.
Music
All the children in Pre-Prep enjoy the music lessons provided by Mrs
Bradley-Reed. For Kindergarten and Reception short singing and
movement sessions help the children join together and feel the beat
of the music through marching and moving.
Year One begin to develop musical skills and singing through topic
related songs and games. In Year Two the children receive an
extended music lesson which incorporates the learning of the
recorder.
All three of these creative areas are brought together twice a year
for Pre-Prep Productions.
