As per tradition, students are given a goody bag on the feast of St. Martin to remember the acts of kindness and generosity of this saint. The priest blessed these good bags which were later distributed to all classes. Special thanks to the school council and parent helpers for helping in the preparation of these bags.

This year Mgarr primary celebrated St Martin’s Day with a difference. The School Council, together with 12 parents helpers organised a Traditional Games Fun Day for all the school. A number of games were organised including Iż-żunżna ddur iddur, Ċuċċu Trejn, Il-Ġurdien u l-Qattus, among other games.
Unfortunately the weather did not work in our favour since it rained all day. However the games were held in the school hall with some slight adjustments. The children enjoyed themselves.
In the afternoon “San Martin Bags” were given to the children. Well done to the organisers. A special thanks goes to the parents on the school council and the parent helpers 🙂
