At the beginning of the scholastic year we were at a loss when we came to plan an Action for this year’s LEAF project. Our school GLOBE coordinator had already registered to participate in the NASA GLOBE cloud observation project. Besides, the school had registered to participate in the GLOBE Autumn Green down campaign, observing the growth (and colour change) of the leaves of one of our fig trees. The students were quite excited when we received an email from Adi Levy, a Globe teacher in an elementary school in Israel, who informed us that we would be working together to compare and contrast the growth of our fig tree leaves. However, we wanted something more so that all the classes could participate in one way or another. We awaited a visit from the LEAF National Co-ordinator, hoping to be given some ideas for inspiration. However, our inspiration arrived when the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Animal rights, the Hon Dr Anton Refalo, sent us ten indigenous trees to care for – two each of five different species. So the members of the LEAF council decided that the best thing to be done first was for every class, from Year 2 to Year 6 to carry out some research about these trees, so as to know something about each one. The classes prepared charts with the info they learnt, which were hung on the boards. Some classes also prepared powerpoints, which were shared among the classes so that the children could learn from one another. The school also decided to participate in the «In-Nebbieta» project, which however was not very successful. The the Year 4, 5 and 6 students went online for an explanation of what they had to do, and how to sow the seeds. The seeds sprouted, as the students did water them regularly, however, in the end, we did not manage to save too many of them. We had intended to transfer them to the sisters’ fields in Marsalforn – so we did with the few which survived. So as not to feel left out, we asked the Kinder 1, Kinder 2 and Year 1 pupils to bring an empty milk pack, in which we sowed seeds of different herbs. The Year 4 and Year 5 council members watered these regularly and took great care of them until the seeds took root and sprouted and then the containers with the growing herbs were given to the children to take home and continue to look after, themselves. The pupils also had an opportunity of visiting two places which we hoped would nurture in the children a love and respect for the land– 1) Year 2 spent a day at the Kooperattiva Rurali Manikata and 2) years 4 and 5 went strawberry picking at Dingli (Diar il-bniet). Other classes visited different farms around Gozo. The students also participated in World Bee Day, organized by the Ministry for Gozo, and spent the day learning about the importance of bees for our crops. So all in all, although we did not focus on one project, we hope that these activities have instilled in our children a love for trees, an eagerness to grow crops, and to do our utmost to protect our environment.
