41 maltatoday, Sunday, 20 July 2014 B&M Supplies Ltd, one of the main suppli- ers of bathrooms and accessories are now introducing the Grohe Minta Touch kitchen mixer. Modern, timeless & beautiful, Grohe's suc- cessful kitchen range Minta takes another step on with its latest innovation. The Grohe Minta Touch comes with a small but distinctive difference: with its EasyTouch technology, it instantly reacts to the slightest touch, letting one turn it on and off without leaving a mark. There is no need to use the lever if one's hands are soiled from cooking. Just tap with the wrist or forearm for perfect control every time. This practical, hygienic technology is seam- lessly integrated, meaning Minta retains the same gorgeous good looks as before. It's available as a curved C-shaped swivel-spout with pull-out mousseur spray or the striking L-shaped swivel spout with pullout mousser - the choice is in your hands. Clean and hygienic Touch any where on the spout once with your wrist or forearm and cool water begins to f low from the faucet. Touch again and it stops. No handprints or greasy marks on the handle. No problem. The benefits of Touch in a busy kitchen are both practical and visual. Not only does light-touch control leave the faucet's spar- kling surface free of marks, but it also pre- vents cross-contamination caused by the transfer of germs and bacteria left on the faucet handle. Fusion of design and technology Innovative, easy-to-use and immensely practical, the advantages of GROHE's Touch faucets are obvious. Inside GROHE's elegant design is the latest technology to keep your kitchen clean all day long. It also reduces the burden of cleaning. You can cook up a storm and start and stop the f low of water as often as you like without leaving a trace on your faucet. Safe for children Safety is paramount, especially if you have little ones in the kitchen. That's why the Touch function is available with cold water, so there is no risk of scalding.

The training sessions form part of the 'Little Scientists' programme that aims to give confidence to edu- cators in science and create a com- mon platform for inquiry-based learning in primary education. 'Little Scientists' arouses enthu- siasm for phenomena in the natu- ral sciences and encourages young enquiring minds to pose questions, come up with ideas themselves and explore just as little scientists do who are keen on their subject. The training was conducted by two members from the Science Populari- sation Unit after having received the training themselves from the Ger- man partners back in February. Teachers who attended these courses and were sceptical or scared to introduce science in their class- rooms have gained confidence and now feel more'equipped' through the training and resources received. The majority have increased in their enthusiasm and motivation and are now eager to implement new ideas in the next scholastic year with their students. Throughout this training, the participants experienced hands-on experimentation. They were given time to discover and explore the topic 'Water' and go through the 'Research Cycle' themselves as if they were the inquiring children in their classroom. Participants also had the time to meet fellow teachers, share ideas and discuss – something which they seldom have the time to do. Another in-service course is planned for September.
