The Kindergarten students of Ms Nag Bugeja and Ms Camille Scerri visited the Manikta Trail were they had fun learning through landscapes and in touch with nature. They also fed the animals!
Below is a short video clip of the visit at Manikata Trail.
Friday 20th October was the first outing for year 2 children. At 9:00 a.m. we headed to Manikata. The coach dropped us off at Għajn Tuffieħa and we walked up to Manikata. Here we met a lady, with her friendly dog. The students were extremely happy about this.
The lady explained to the children about some flowers and trees found in the rural areas of the Maltese Islands. Then we proceeded to feed some of the animals including chickens, pigeons, goats, lambs, a donkey and a horse. The children also got to meet Buttuna and Lily.
The children were then invited in the picnic area where they enjoyed fresh bread with kunserva (tomato paste) and an apple. Finally the students had a hands-on session where they planted a bean plant to take with them home.
The students truly enjoyed each and every second.

The Yr 2.1 students visited an animal farm at Manikata. During this visit the students learnt about the different animals and helped to feed them. Later they learnt about planting seeds and what is needed for a seed to grow into a healthy plant.
