European Day of Languages

The European Day of Languages has been celebrated every year on the 26th September 2001 at the initiative of the Council of Europe, Strasbourg. At Attard Primary, we celebrated this special event last Friday in coincidence with the visit to our school by members from the commune of Elancourt, France, as well as members of Attard Local Council.

The following are some photos of the event:

Yesterday we had a special morning assembly; pupils were allowed to bring their pets to school. After praying together so that God will help us to take care of our dear pets, the parish priest of Attard, Fr. Noel Vassallo blessed the animals and their carers.

Jum Dun Karm

The year 6 classes, with the help of their teachers and learning support assistants, prepared a special assembly to commemorate Dun Karm’s Day. Year 6.1 prepared a play that included much information about the Maltese poet and his works. Class 6.2 chose poems by Dun Karm that are very popular with both children and adults. Of course the Maltese National Hymn was also mentioned and recited.
