Easter Cards from Scotland

As April's Easter cards did not arrive successfully in Malta for the three primary 6 classes, we thought the photographs of the Scottish primary 6 pupils' work would allow you to appreciate their artistic endeavors. Better late than never :)

Some photos from the Sweden meeting 10th-14th Sep

The second meeting was regarded as a great successs by the hosts as much as by the maltese and scottish guests. Swedish pupils were curious about our way of life, traditions and other cultures. Maltese and Scottish teachers were curious about the Swedish way.

We met Pippi, Sweden's favourite character and a special concert inside the school hall was held on Friday 12th September. We then went on to visit all classes and were particularly impressed that some classes are thought how to perform massages too!

Visit to Sweden

The third meeting of this project was held between Wednesday 10th and Sunday 14th September. The host venue this time was the Swedish town of Atvidaberg. On Thursday 11th, all participants visited the College school while on Friday it was the turn of the primary school at Bjorsater.

Meetings were held after school hours and and plans for the forthcoming scholastic year were agreed upon.

It was agreed that amongst other initiatives all threee participating schools must:
