Mummy, you guide me with your light while I colour your life. I love you Mummy! Little ones at Gozo College Sannat Primary and Special Unit School with their Kindergarten teacher, Ms Antonia, enjoyed decorating empty baby jars for Mummy to use as Candle Holders. Happy Mothers’ Day.
EkoSkola…the whole school is in it… Together! That is our Vision. The EkoSkola Student Council at Gozo College Sannat Primary and Special Unit is at the front line proposing ways of how to reduce our carbon footprint and bring ideas forward. When discussing and planning the EkoSkola action plan at the beginning of the year, the EkoSkola Student Council proposed an Activity for the WHOLE school AND Community: ‘Walk for Clean Air’. The year 4 classes with their class teachers and LSAS, wrote a Notice as part of their writing task. This is part of their literacy curriculum with the beauty they are actually writing a Notice within a context, which is that of informing their fellow students of this Event. Every morning assembly, 2 notices by year 4 students are being read as reminders, one in Maltese and another in English. Then, the year 5 class wrote the invitation to parents as part of their Writing Task which was then distributed to all the school students. We are now reaching the date Friday 5th May. A coach is being used to take us to walk a trail from Ghasri to Marsalforn and then return back to Sannat. This walk is being organised in collaboration with the EcoGozo Outdoor Activity Teachers. Be the change. Take Action. Brilliant work by these teachers and students.
Walk for Clean Air: Another successful event organised by the Gozo College Activity unit in collaboration with Ms. Dianne Angie Portelli. Evening / Night walk with Sannat and St. Lawrence primary school pupils accompanied by parents, teachers and relatives. The contingent of around 120 people left from Ghasri village square proceeding towards Tal-Patruncinju Chapel and all the way down to Marsalforn. Well done to all and looking forward for the next.
Have you ever heard the song ‘Bicycle Race’ by the British rock band Queen? It goes like this, “I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike”. The EkoSko…la Student Council at Gozo College Sannat Primary School and Special Unit proudly announces a new set of bicycle racks just installed on the school premises. This idea sprouted after they conducted a School Audit where we asked all students, including Kinder, to find out how we students get to school. The committee met on several occasions during our midday break to discuss ways and brainstorm ideas of how to ‘Reduce our Carbon Footprint’, which is also the Slogan chosen for this year’s EkoSkola Noticeboard. From the results of this Audit, they quickly realised that only the very few come on foot or use a bicycle. The committee were overjoyed when the School Management team agreed to their proposal to have bicycle racks installed. On Friday 28th April 2017, their dream became reality! Be the Change. Take Action. Let’s reduce our carbon footprint. Walk or cycle to school. Well done to all those involved!
