Dinja Waħda…

The Green Club students, together with Ms Rodgers, assistant head, have been taking care of the school garden. They have planted flowers in the front garden to make the school more welcoming. They have sewn papaya seeds and hopefully we might have papaya trees growing in our school garden. All this work is related to Dinja Waħda projects.

Dinja Waħda – Nuturing love towards nature…

As tradition has it, the school is once again embarking on Dinja Waħda projects. Once again we are aiming for gold… not for the sake of getting a gold award, but to make sure that our students grow into responsible citizens who are aware of the importance of preserving the environment. Above students can be seen preparing decorations for the Dinja Waħda notice board. 

Thanks to Ms Rodgers, Assistant Head, for taking care of this project.

Vanishing Homes…

Bird hunting, deforestation, burning down of forests, farming, the industrial revolution and other factors have a direct impact of the habitat of a number of animals. Trees are homes to birds, snakes, insects and many other creatures. When trees are cut down, the homes of these creatures vanish.

The year 4.1 students were made aware of these issues during another Dinja Waħda activity.

Dinja Waħda… F-ant-astic…

The Kindergarten students of Ms Felicia Borg embarked on their Dinja Waħda project… f-ANT-astic. Through this activity students learn about the different types of ants that live in the same “household” including the queen ant, the worker ants (who collect food for their nest) and the soldier ants, who are bigger in size than the workers and who do their utmost to protect their nest.

The students went to have a close look at ants that live in the school garden.

Fieldwork at Buskett

The Kindergarten students went to Buskett for fieldwork related to Dinja Waħda activities. During their stay in this woods, the students participated in various projects.

Students were asked to collect as many conifers as possible. The conifers were later sorted according to size being small, medium or large. 

These conifers were used to create basic shapes including the circle, triangle, rectangle and square. Students were also asked to collect twigs. All conifers and twigs were used to make a tree collage.
Another activity consisted of bark rubbing while learning about smooth and rough surfaces. Finally students made a collage of the words Dinja Waħda using the twigs collected earlier on.
