The Hunyad Castle

Rasnov Fortress

The children in year 4 attending St. Thomas More College Marsaskala made these castles as a consolidation of a lesson carried out on Solid Shapes. The powerpoint above was  posted in the blog by Ioana Moise, a teacher from Romania  to  help the children in Marsaskala, Malta understand more about  how a castle was built. Here are some photos:

Dear children,

School Clondiru – Romania

A hundred years ago people of my village decided that it is time to have our own school so it was built in 1910 by Mr Nicolae Ispas. Since then many generations of pupils learned here, our grandparents, our parents and now us. It’s not a big school, it has only four classrooms so we have to learn in shifts. Grades I – IV in the morning and grades V – VIII in the afternoon. There are 200 pupils learning here and 15 teachers.

Village Clondiru is 20 km away from the city Buzau in the south-east of Romania. It lies on the field near a beautiful hill Istrita with beautiful vineyards.

Not so very long ago Marsaskala was a quiet fisherman’s village with a very small population. With the ever increasing population a new school had to be built. The  foundation stone of this new school was laid in 1965. The architect created one of the most beautiful schools in the Maltese islands. The first intake of pupils was of 150 but now it is of about 600 children. Our school includes a good number of foreigners too coming from UK, Romania, Germany and Russia.

The last time it snowed in Marsaskala was in 1999. Look at our schoolyards. It’s the last time they were covered with snow since 10 years!

Marsaskala is found in the southern part of a small island called Malta. By clicking on the link below you can watch a visual aid to help you learn more about this small but beautiful country.
