Drop Everything And Read (DEAR) – Forming a new habit and creating a lifestyle of reading at Birkirkara Primary
Drop Everything And Read (DEAR) – Forming a new habit and creating a lifestyle of reading at Birkirkara Primary
Research in psychology shows that it takes 21 days for a human being to form a new habit and 90 days to create a lifestyle, so starting from Monday 22nd February 2021, we, at Birkirkara Primary School, are going to spend 10 to 15 minutes of independent reading every day from Monday to Friday, Kinder 1 up to Y6, after the break, when we go back to class after playing in the yard.
Everyone is invited to bring a favourite book from home and keep it in their school bag to read during the DEAR time.
Pupils are encouraged to read in both English and Maltese. Pupils who can speak in another language are invited to bring a book in that language as well. Yes, we celebrate all languages in our school.
This is a technology-free time! We’re doing our utmost to limit screen time for our pupils as we are aware that they are spending more than enough time in front of a screen. We invite parents and guardians to continue this practice at home, as well.
Here’s a quote we would like to share with you all on this occasion:
”The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can’t read them.” – Mark Twain

European Week for Waste Reduction 2020
Our school is participating in this year’s European Week for Waste Reduction.
We are inviting pupils to discuss Eco-friendly measures as reflected in the school’s Eco Code. All primary pupils will be invited to reflect on environmental issues and to convey that message by creating a digital poster. Their posters will be uploaded on the school’s j2webby.
Posters can be created collaboratively in class or at home. This will involve the whole school community, including parents at home.
This is the link to follow our campaign:
