The Green Flag Celebration Day

7th of December 2009, marked our much awaited Green Flag Celebration Day. Attended by parents, teachers, Heads of schools, Eko-skola coordinators, local council members and the students themselves this day was a truly special one for everyone who attended this event. At around half past eight all the students from Kinder to Year 6 classes, together with all those who were invited to this important event in the history of our little school, assembled in the foyer. The Year 4 class opened the event by singing "Heal the World" by the late Michael Jackson - a wonderful song with meaningful lyrics . The Year 6 followed with their song "Healthy Food."

We were then honoured with the eloquent speeches of Dr Paul Pace, National EkoSkola Coordinator,and Mr Vincent Attard, President of Nature Trust Malta who pointed out at our eko-skola members' resilient commitment to the environment. Next, certificates were awarded to those people who had helped or supported us in our Eko skola project - namely, the local Mayor Mr Valvo, Mr JP Micallef -ex-Head of school, and Mr S Borg - the Scout Leader. Their respective speeches all revolved on the authors of this success -the students who committed themselves to actively improve the quality of life in their school.

This was followed by tree-planting in our school yard. Olive trees, our national tree is-Sigra tal-Gharghar and other trees were planted by the kids in various selected areas in the yard. We concluded our ceremony with a fun walk which started off at Zonqor area and ended at our school. It was quite a long walk but the kids enjoyed themselves immensely.

Science Festival

Today, the Year 4 and 5 classes attended the Science Festival which is being held at the University campus by the Malta Council of Science and Technology to promote science among young people. Science was present in a fun environment where children could take part in various experiments in the exhibition. Unfortunately, they could not feel the ground beneath them tremble during an earthquake simulation because it was out of order but the students were encouraged to attend this exhibition with their parents during the weekend where hopefully the simulation would be in working order again. The schoolchildren also learnt about mirages and pulleys, about how waves were generated and how wind turbines worked. Some enjoyed watching the dancing Lego robot while others enjoyed looking at their distorted images in “fat and thin mirrors”.

The festival will go on until Sunday, between 4.30 p.m. and 7.30 p.m. at the University.

Year 4 - The Magic Carpet by Leanne Said and Amberind

By Amberind

By Leanne Said

Once upon a time, I saw a magic carpet. I wanted it because it had special powers. It was in a dark cave all by itself. I spoke to the carpet and it told me to climb on it. It took me to Spain and I saw Madrid, the capital city of Spain. I stopped there and we swam in a lake. Then, the carpet took me to an arena and I watched a bull fight there. I saw lots of bulls. Then when it was time it took me back home.
