Early Years 2 Pupils Meet A Scout!

Early Years 2 Pupils Meet A Scout! Our Early Years 2 pupils had the chance to meet Mr. Mark, a real-life scout! With the help of our creative mascots and a bit of storytelling magic, our pupils were inspired to embrace curiosity, creativity, discipline, and collaboration. Starting at school, Mr. Mark introduced the children to some important scout techniques such as mastering different knots and learning how to read a map. We are excited to announce that he’ll be joining our pupils on their upcoming Nature Matters Day at Ta’ Qali! Together, they’ll learn about essential outdoor skills, making it an unforgettable day of exploration and hands-on discovery. We look forward to more adventures ahead.

This year’s theme, ‘generosity,’ was truly embraced, with all proceeds going to the Heart of Flesh Project and Smiling with Jerome. A big thank you to our students and parents for baking and preparing this delicious food, and thank you to all who made this wonderful event possible.

EWWR: IP Italian Learners Against Food Waste

EWWR: IP Italian Learners Against Food Waste. As part of our initiatives for European Week for Waste Reduction (EWWR), our Level 1 IP learners learned all about the importance of food waste reduction, while developing their Italian vocabulary! By exploring phrases and concepts in Italian, they connected the language to important sustainable actions, like recycling and making mindful food choices.

EWWR: IP French Learners Against Food Waste

EWWR: IP French Learners against food waste Our IP learners took action against food waste by creating inspiring slogans about recycling and composting—en français! Not only did they expand their French vocabulary, but they also discovered how small actions can lead to a big environmental impact. This forms part of our initiatives for European Week for Waste Reduction (EWWR).

EWWR: Digital Literacy Lessons and Sustainability

EWWR: Digital Literacy Lessons and Sustainability In celebration of the European Week for Waste Reduction, Ms Gillian, together with Level 2 pupils during their Digital Literacy lessons, took action to raise awareness about minimising food waste. By inspecting lunches and organic bins, learners gathered and analysed data to create insightful bar graphs, sparking engaging discussions about food habits and sustainability. This hands-on activity not only highlighted the importance of mindful choices but also empowered students to embrace more effective ways to reduce waste for a sustainable future.

EWWR: Planting kidney beans and setting up a vermicompost bin with our Level 4s!

EWWR: Planting kidney beans and setting up a vermicompost bin with our Level 4s! During their Earth Matters lesson, Level 4 Green engaged in a meaningful discussion on ways to reduce food waste. The class then planted kidney bean seedlings in our school garden and explored the value of mindful consumption. Through learning about the time and effort required to grow school vegetables like broccoli, learners reflected on gratitude and how this awareness might influence their approach to waste. The highlight of the lesson? Setting up our brand-new vermicompost bin, which now brings the total number of Chiswick House School compost bins to four! A fantastic step forward in our commitment to sustainability and responsible waste management. This forms part of our initiatives for European Week for Waste Reduction (EWWR).
