Meeting held to discuss the Erasmus+ project aiming to use the environment as the third educator based on the emergent curriculum while striking a balance between child led and teacher led learning.
A consultation meeting regarding uniforms with students, chaired by Ms Salvina Muscat, was held in the school hall. Students discussed the pros and cons of wearing a uniform versus wearing the PE kit. It was evident that students prefer the PE kit since it is more comfortable, it is easier to wear and helps them to concentrate at school. However students also mentioned that fact that the uniform is smarter. Issues regarding the importance of wearing a clean uniform daily and that wearing a PE kit on a daily basis does not mean that PE lessons will be held every day were also discussed.
The Mġarr Music Band organised a Christmas Carols Concert at our school. Students joined in, singing and dancing, adding to the fun of Christmas. Merry Christmas to all 🙂
Heartfelt thanks to all the members of staff, parents and students for a wonderful Celebration Day. Team work is what makes our school a daily success 🙂
