First meeting of partner schools in Scotland

Following the first meeting held at St. Timothy’s Primary School in Glasgow, Scotland between last February 14th – February 18th each partner establishment will research the eating habits and typical food of their own country. St Venera Primary School was represented in Scotland through our head of school, Mr A. Mifsud and project co-ordinator Mr. J. Tabone.

It was agreed that children across all years will develop healthy menus using local produce and will share these with partners. ICT will be used to record healthy activities in each school including sports and physical education classes. A joint web page will be developed where children and staff can post ideas and good practice. In the second year E-Olympics will be planned where each school will participate in the same activities and post times and results.

Also, a celebratory meal for parents and local communities will be planned and prepared by children.

The final activity will be a Health Promotion Week in each establishment which will display and exhibit all materials of the project. Arrangements for a second meeting which will see both partnering schools being hosted in Malta in the latter stages of May, are currently in progress.
