The Green Club had a blast learning about papaya during one of their meetings. Ms Rodgers helped the students plant their own seeds and gave the students a taster of these healthy exotic fruit. We hope to grow these seedlings into healthy trees in the school garden.
The members of staff had a team building event organised by the Physical Education teachers, Ms Rebecca Bonello and Ms Chanel Micallef Cassar. Apart from enhancing a healthy team spirit, members of staff had time to reflect upon where the school stands and where the school should aim for 🙂
The students came to school wearing their pyjamas. The aim of this event was to raise awareness that although when wearing pyjamas we feel its warmth, one should not forget that there are children and other patients lying in bed in hospital. Cereals were also given to students to encourage the importance of starting the day with a healthy breakfast.
The Year 3.2 students of Ms Sharon Calleja prepared a special assembly. The students sang a song “Fonzu l-Fenek” which promotes the importance of living a healthy lifestyle based on a healthy balanced diet, including plenty of exercise.
The Year 6 students have been chosen to be part of a focus group by the Commissioner for Children. During the meeting students discussed their rights. Ms Suzanne Gili complimented the students for their knowledge about the subject and for participating actively in the discussion. This session was held during a PSCD session. We thank the class teachers, PSCD teachers and students for being great ambassadors for the school.
Professional Development training was held for members of staff. Training consisted of First Aid, eTwinning projects and different approaches to writing.
Today marked the end of the first term for this scholastic year. Students had a party to celebrate this event. Mr Alfred Mifsud animated the show with a number of various tricks accompanied by his dove and pet rabbit. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all 🙂
Celebrating another scholastic year at St Nicholas College, Mgarr Primary School!
Students walked from school to the Parish Church to celebrate mass in preparation for Christmas. The Holy Eucharist was celebrated by Dun George. It was a great pleasure to have parents joining us during this celebration. Food collected during the advent calendar was presented to the Parish Church.
Students worked together with the art teacher, Mr Adrian Scicluna, to prepare the backdrop used for Celebration Day.
The backdrop required a number of weeks to be finalised, however the end product was really appreciated by all.
This year the school embarked on a Christmas Advent Calendar with a difference. Students were asked to donate food and drink items, as listed on the special advent calendar, on a voluntary basis. The food was to be presented to the Parish Priest on 18th December during the celebration of mass.
Since the school received an incredible amount of food and drink items, arrangements were made with the Parish Priest to collect the food items from school. Dun Gorg made arrangements and brought over a van to carry the food to the church.
We would like to thank you all for you generosity. The food will be sorted in hampers to be given to those in need.
