On Tuesday 6th December, a princess from a magical place far above the clouds, visited the kindergarden section of St. Thomas More College, Zejtun Primary School A. She was impressed by the nicely decorated classrooms, by the very nice and dedicated kindergarden assistants, and by the charming and intelligent students. These greeted the princess with enthusiasm and together they sang several songs.
The eTwinning National Support Service organised the seminars “Animation for Education” in December 2011. Originally only one seminar was scheduled to take place, on Wednesday 7th of December. However since the date filled up pretty quickly, the Maltese NSS organised a repeat of this same seminar on Wednesday the 14th of December 2011. Both seminars took place at the eLearning Centre in Floriana between 15:30-17:30 and marked the end of the eTwinning Back to School Campaign in Malta.
