**Elden the Eagle has begun his flight to Malta!**

 * Elden took off early this morning for his long flight to Malta. (Ok, so he too is in a very small envelope and is hoping his flight won't take too long!) Elden is our school's mascot.** **He is looking forward to escaping the cold dreay days here in New York for warmer and sunnier days in Malta. We here in New York are very excited to hear about his times with all of the children in Ms. Gaby's class and wishing we could be there as well :)**
 * Here's to a safe and quick journey across the seas Elden! Have fun!**

**Hip Hip Hurray!!!!! Elden is here!!! Arrived in Malta today on Valentine's day :) Children got really excited when an envelope arrived safely in class. They all knew what was hiding inside and couldn't wait for me to open it up. By clicking on the following link you can view Elden's arrival in class. Thank you Ms Debbie and class :**

=__ Elden's Journey in Malta __=

|| __ **Elden the Eagle** __ - This is Aaliyah's story about this eagle. She did 2 paintings - one of Elden and the other one Elden and his family. The recording down here is all about Elden and his 3 little hatching eggs - luke, nicole and lara. According to Aaliyah these are Elden's little children, since for her she represents an Eagle mummy. Enjoy!!

__ 2nd part of the story __ - This part is about Elden and his lost egg. :-) Aaliyah was imagining that Elden the Mummy Eagle lost one of her eggs she was very sad. So she decided to go out to look for him and she found the egg in a garden. She was so happy!! Then, Mummy Elden made a magic on her lost egg and the other two eggs which she was holding while looking for the Luke. The magic was that she made her babies, Luke, Lara and Nicole, hatch out of the egg and grow into big eagles lso they will be able to fly back home together :-) How imaginative!!

She told me this story while we were together on the sofa with Elden in front of us. Untill i got the laptop to record her she forgot some imp. details so i helped her a bit while recording her by asking some questions.

 * 16thJanuary || === 2nd Visit : Andre Cini ===

**ANDRE WAS SO PLEASED IN GETTING HOME HIS LITTLE EAGLE ELDEN**

Since Elden came over to Andre's house during the Carnival holidays, we had some spare time to take our mascot around. The Cini family decided to take Elden to some nice and interesting places little island home, Malta. || **MDINA**

Mdina, Malta - T he old capital city of Mdina is a most interesting and typical mediaeval town situated in the centre of the island. The "Silent City", as it is also known, commands a magnificent view of the Island and although it is fully inhabited, silence reigns supreme. || **VICTORIA LINES FORTIFACTIONS** The Victoria Lines run along a natural geographical barrier known as the Great Fault, from Madliena in the east, through the limits of the town of Mosta in the centre of the island, to Binġemma and the limits of Rabat, on the west coast. The complex network of linear fortifications known collectively as the Victoria Lines, that cut across the width of the island, north of the old capital of Mdina, was a unique monument of military architecture.

ANDRE AND ELDEN WERE TIRED CLIMBING ALL THE WAY UP, BUT THE VIEWS WERE FANTASTIC!! || **THEN IT WAS MY MUM'S BIRTHDAY AND AS A TREAT WE WENT TO A NICE PLACE WHERE WE CAN SEE THE MEDITERANEAN SEA.** **IT WAS THE FIRST TIME ELDEN SAW THE MEDITERANEAN SEA, AND WE COULD ALL SEE ITS EXCITEMENT BECAUSE ELDEN FLAPPED HIS WINGS ENTHUSIASTICALLY.**

**HAVE A LOOK AT THE NICE PICTURES OF ST. GEORGE'S BAY**

**ELDEN WANTED TO HAVE A DIP IN THE WATER BUT WE DID NOT THINK IT WAS SUCH A GOOD IDEA SINCE IT WAS COLD!!!!**



HOPE YOU ENJOYED YOUR PICTURES OF MALTA - ELDEN SURELY DID ! AND AFTER SUCH A TIRING DAY, WENT TO SLEEP WITH ANDRE

|| media type="youtube" key="EMtY-hEgNCo?rel=0" height="315" width="420" Hi friends. Kindly watch my video to see Elden's pictures. Thank you. === Elden's first trip was to the supermarket, next to our house. Elden was very hungry and we decided to buy his favourite foods like cereal, chips and most of all he wanted bright red strawberries. Elden was anxious to go home, so we went home and he helped Julian with his homework. ===
 * 9thMarch || = 7th Visit : JulianEbejer =

Later that evening, Elden slept with Julian all night long, after a long conversation with Mickey Mouse.
=== The next day was so cold that we decided to stay home and play with puzzles. Weather was not favourable, so Elden preferred staying home nice and cosy. Juian and his sister Rebecca made him feel at home. === === On Sunday we were all invited for lunch in a Hotel and Elden joined in the Fun. Jo Jo the clown was there and he organised plenty of fun and activities for the children, such as the bouncing castle, juggling, and playing with the parashoot. Elden enjoyed being thrown up high right in the middle of the parashoot. He also ate plenty of cup cakes. Elden really has a sweet beak :) !! ===

We returned home, watched television and straight to bed.

Adventures with Elden
We got Elden this friday and I was so excited to introduce Elden to our family. My nanna is afraid of birds and when she saw Elden she wasn't that happy. Naughty Elden pinched her and kept on flapping his wings. Our main adventure with Elden was at the beach. I wanted to teach Elden to swim. So we took Elden to the beach and got him a small bucket to put him in. But all of a sudden Elden was flapping his wings and the bucket toppled and elden got wet. So I dried him up with a towel and told him to stay in the sun. Here we had a good time together, we played on the sand and got all messy. I enjoyed my time with Elden and I am going to miss him a lot. ||
