As part of the Social Studies Curricula, the Year 3 students carried out a fieldwork in their school locality.  Students had to observed the environment surrounding the school.  Among other things, pupils discussed and noted the differences  and similarities between buildings,  compared the two main streets surrounding the school,  observed the different types of vehicles that passed from a main road and they also talked about the different shops one can find in the vicinity. Students recorded the information gathered in  their fieldwork booklet.

Across the curricula we integrate key sustainable issues in teaching and learning.  Indeed, as part of the Social Studies syllabus students are given the opportunity to visit a nature reserve and carry out the given fieldwork. On the 28th of May, the Year 3 students visited the Għadira Nature Reserve.  There, they had the opportunity to see the different trees that grow in Malta and observe and learn more information about the flora and fauna of the Maltese islands.  Furthermore, the pupils also discussed how they can help protect the environment.  This fieldwork helped students to understand better what they had learned in class.
