The school invests in the students to provide them with an educational learning experience. The above resources will be shared among all classes. We shall keep investing further. Thank you for your support 🙂
Sharing of good practice of how the school outdoor space is being used to implement the emergent curriculum. Well done to Birdlife Malta and MEDE for organising a fruitful multiplier event and well done to all the staff at St Nicholas College, Mgarr Primary for embarking on this project.
Special thanks to Ms Nagaat Bugeja and Ms Joanne Galea for their contribution to today’s multiplier event.
All members of staff enjoyed a very well organised team building event, thanks to Mr Mario Camilleri, events organiser from the office of the permanent secretary.
From building bridges, to working in pairs and sharing information about likes, dislikes, fears and wishes, this team building event will surely be cherished by all.
The Head of College Network, Ms Josephine Mifsud, joined the fun too.
There were some very hilarious moments when interesting drawings were shared following an exercise which required good communication skills and a stretch of imagination.
A group photo was taken at the end of the session to add more to the school memoires. Thank you to all the staff at St Nicholas College for your dedication and hard work!
It’s always the right time to learn something new! Fixture no. 3️⃣ with the Mgarr squad! Bil-Qari u l-Kitba Niskorja!!!
A Road Safety Awareness Day was organised at our school by the Health and Safety Teachers together with the Civil Protection Department, Police Force and Transport Malta.
The year 6 students s walked to school from Kastell Zamitello, escorted by road Police and marshalls.
Prior to this event the students were given a map of the Mgarr and they had to plan a safe route to walk to school taking into consideration any safety precautions that are to be taken.
The year 4 to year 6 students had several workshops. Above students can be seen on a bus for talks held by Transport Malta personnel. The talks were about passenger safety on a bus.
A fire engine was brought to school by the Civil Protection Department and demonstrations were held for students in the school yard.
The Police Forces held interesting talks for students about road safety and the use of the emergency number 112 (which must always be used responsibly!)
Students were also given a quiz, using tablets, about road safety and how one should behave him/herself on the road.
Finally the students had another workshop about road safety and what one can do in the event of a bicycle accident. This incident was simulated and students were given a demonstration about First Aid and assistance that can be given.
Credits to Ms Jacquline Abela, Health and Safety Teacher, Ms Joanne Galea and Ms Therese Rodgers for the photos, Ms Laura Schembri, Digital Literacy Teacher, the Senior Management Team for coordinating the event and to the volunteers who made this event a success 🙂
Testing the emergent curriculum at Kindergarten level. Ms Nag offered her K1.4 students learning opportunities to explore, play and build their confidence outdoors in the school garden, while observing the children’s interests.
On going training for members of staff ensures the provision of a sound education for students. Early years focused in using the environment as a third educator focusing on the emergent curriculum. Yr 3 to Yr 6 discussed problem solving, journaling and challenges faced in numeracy, together with Assessment for Learning and continuous assessment. LSEs were given a refresher on basic First Aid.
More resources have been purchased to give our students a better education.
