Learning Journals

Learning Journals Learning Journals are the result of an ongoing process of observation, collection of information and documentation of the pupil’s learning journey. These journals aim to capture spontaneous learning moments, that tell a learning story. In turn, children develop a sense of accomplishment and self-worth, as well as motivation to want to learn more. Special thanks to our dedicated teachers for putting these wonderful journals together. Well done pupils!

World Ocean Day

World Ocean Day Today on WORLD OCEAN DAY Neil Agius was welcomed once again to Chiswick House School. Our pupils exhibited their countless posters and proudly presented their pledges, the one positive thing they promise to do for the good of our sea which they will continue doing in their everyday lives. Neil Agius was amazed at how many pupils and teachers joined the wave and encouraged more pupils to do the same. Neil Aguis – the founder of Wave of Change @waveofchangemalta last year swam from Linosa to Gozo, a record of 125.6km completed in just over 52 hours. He continues to inspire people to help our oceans by picking up 6 pieces of litter and encouraging others to do the same. No one can do everything but everyone can do something!

They calculated the gradient of the beach, analysed the size and shape of sediment and measured the speed of longshore drift. An excellent hands-on learning experience.
