Dinja Wahda01

The school is working in full force towards an ambitious project to raise environmental awareness. Last year we reached the Gold Award target for Dinja Waħda. Ms Rodgers is co-ordinating this project and, together with all the members of staff and students, she is working hard to promote environmental awareness and a love for wild life.

Above are some photos capturing different acitivities being tackled by various classes including bird migration, the Dinja Waħda logo and work on the notice board, nurturing respect towards nature including the tiniest of creatures such as ants, on-site fieldwork regarding the importance of rubble walls which feature in our countryside, etc.

Well done to everyone for working so hard and good luck on your achievements 😉

Hieles01The K1.3 students of Ms Joanne Galea have been busy learning about animals. The KGA made sure her students would appreciate these friendly creatures while giving them some food for thought.

The students were made to reflect about the importance of leaving birds free, rather than captured in a cage or, even worse, mummified as a trophy. This activity was linked to Dinja Waħda project.

The students made a replica of the earth (all craft was made from recycled material). Then each student coloured in a bird. Each bird was displayed flying around the earth. The birds were also used in a maths lesson to enhance number and value recognition.

On a different note, below we see the students proudly presenting their work on the class notice board. Since students have been learning about animals, the theme was appropriately chosen as “Ir-Razzett”.

The school, as in previous years, has embarked on Dinja Waħda project aiming to make our students become more aware about the environment and wildlife. Ms Rodgers updates the noticeboard regularly with students’ work and other useful information. Keep up the good work 🙂

Dinja Waħda… Robin Round Up

Trapping of wild robins was common practice in Malta. However due to awareness campaigns in school by Birdlife, this habit has been reduced. The Robin Roundup activity is a constant reminder to encourage students to stop wild robin trapping.

The year 3.2 students of Ms Rodianne had the opportunity to learn more about this sweet bird which visits our country during winter to protect itself from colder winters abroad. The robin travels long distances to reach our island. Pity that some robins end up trapped in a cage, rather than being enjoyed in our countryside.

Students prepared craft robins which were displayed in class as a follow up to this activity.
