Our visit to the aquarium was a wonderful educational experience which was so much fun! The students learned about different animals and their habitats during an introductory activity.
Afterwards, they enjoyed learning about and seeing all the different varieties of fish and other marine life at the aquarium.

On Monday 17th March 2014 the two Year 5 classes visited the Malta National Aquarium in Qawra. It was an extraordinary experience walking around the passageways of this virtual underwater environment whilst admiring the various species of fish and other marine life so skilfully gathered in this one place. The children could hardly contain their excitement as they pointed towards one creature or another, some familiar by name or by sight, others totally exotic. What a wonderful way to learn to appreciate what nature has to offer!

The year 4 students had the opportunity to visit the Malta National Aquarium. Not only was this an experience worth viewing, but it also gave the students the opportunity to learn about the different species of marine animals. They also had the opportunity to see fish and other marine creatures which one cannot find in the Maltese coast.
On 10th December 2013 the year 1 students visited the National Aquarium at Buġibba.
The children were amazed by the different species of fish found at this aquarium. They learned about these fish, their different characteristics and their habitat.
After seeing the fish in all the sections of the aquarium, children were guided to another section where they had their lunch. Afterwards, they were given a colouring sheet to colour one of the fish found at the aquarium.
