Taf kif għandek iżżomm ruħek ‘il-bogħod mill-Covid fil-klassi ? Ejja nergaw naraw x’għandna nagħmlu:
Year 4 students at Baħrija Primary School used recycled materials to create a Bird Feeder to set up at school. This activity promoted the importance of caring for the environment around us by helping birds thrive, as well the reusing of materials around us. Watch a video of the activity below.
Jael Bugeja, a Year 5 student attending St. Nicholas College, Baħrija Primary School, drew this lovely poster. She tells us how she enjoys coming to school even during the Covid pandemic.
We hope that the few students who are not attending come back to school. It is safe and enjoyable! We are waiting for You!
Year 1 students at Baħrija Primary School eagerly participated in a DINJA WAĦDA ACTIVITY called Nature’s Magic. They learnt all about soil formation and the different requirements needed for plants to grow. It was such a fun activity from which the children learnt and appreciated the beauty of nature even more.
On Friday 19th February, Ms Carmen Muscat EO, explained what will happen in this year’s Benchmark which will take place between 24th and 26th May. The meeting is recorded for all Year 6 parent/guardians who might have missed the session.

In order to mitigate the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, we have found ourselves wearing face masks all the time, even if we are, say, alone in the country side. Some people opt to buy disposable face masks, which in turn, can cause problems of their own. On an average day, one may go through 1-3 face masks, thus causing quite a lot of litter! And the worst thing is that some of these masks are ending up improperly discarded and littering our towns and countryside.
To raise awareness about the issue, Dingli Secondary School have issued a Facebook Challenge, in a bid to promote the use of re-usable cloth masks. Just take a picture of yourself wearing a cloth mask, and upload it on Dingli Secondary School’s Facebook Page. (If you’re shy or don’t want to appear on Facebook, just take a pic of your mask). Finally, don’t forget to share the competition post on your Facebook Profile too! (If you’re too young to have a Facebook profile, you can ask your parents or siblings to post the picture and share the post on their own profile).
This competition is open to all College students and staff, Primary, Middle and Secondary Schools.
By participating in this Challenge, you can also win a 10 Euro Voucher from A to Z electronics!

The Career Guidance Section within the National School Support Services and the Directorate for Learning and Assessment Programmes have worked together to develop the framework Career Learning and Development: A Frameworks for Schools. This will serve as a tool for guidance teachers, career advisors, Personal, Social and Career Development teachers and others involved in the planning, design, delivery and evaluation of career education and career guidance in our schools.
The framework has been published with the support of European funds administered by Euroguidance Malta Centre and can be accessed on https://euroguidance.gov.mt/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Career-learning-and-development.pdf
To support Year 8 students with their choice of option subjects, the National School Support Services in collaboration with PRISMS, a non-governmental organisation have together worked on the development and updating of the Explore More – My Journey Portal. Year 8 students and their parents/guardians can acquire information on the option subjects on offer and the different career paths and post-secondary courses that these subjects can lead to. The information is presented in an interactive way with short videos outlining all subject options on offer, videos with first-hand testimony from the people who work in the industry and a short quiz which helps students identify the work sector/subjects of their interest. The website in in both Maltese and English. It can be accessed on: http://exploremoreproject.eu/en/
