WORLD WATER DAY 2022
Today, 22nd March, is World Water Day. This year’s theme is Groundwater – making the invisible visible.
Groundwater is invisible, but its impact is visible everywhere.
Out of sight, under our feet, groundwater is a hidden treasure that enriches our lives.
Almost all of the liquid freshwater in the world is groundwater.
As climate change gets worse, groundwater will become more and more critical.
We need to work together to sustainably manage this precious resource.
Groundwater may be out of sight, but it must not be out of mind.
PRIMARY SCHOOL
Ms Christabel (Prep 4) wrote the lovely poem and provided its explanation below:
Fl-okkażjoni tal-Ġurnata Dinjija Tal-Ilma, il-Prep 4s tal-Iskola Primarja San Alwiġi integraw is-suġġett tal-ilma fil-lezzjoni tat-taħriġ il-fehem tal-Malti. Temi dwar l-impatt tagħna fuq l-ambjent kif ukoll ir-responsabbiltà ta’ kull wieħed u waħda minna bħala ċittadini globali, wkoll ġew diskussi.
The poem was discussed by the students in class.
Maths lessons on capacity also featured water 🙂

SECONDARY SCHOOL – PE lessons with a difference
This year’s theme ‘Groundwater – Making the Invisible Visible’, draws attention to the hidden water resource that has always been critically important but not fully recognized in sustainable development policymaking.
Mr Godfrey explains the idea behind the interesting awareness initiative organised for our Secondary School students during their PE classes:
Over the coming two weeks, starting the week of the 21st March, a PE lesson with a difference will be taking place at our Secondary School. The event will consist of a relay race competition. Students will be divided into four teams of four/five players each. Each team will need to fill a bucket with 5kg of sand (not water, to avoid waste) from the ‘pool area’, and go round the track to fill the sandpit. Each student will do this three times, therefore travelling around 1.2km. It is important that the bucket is filled till a line marked by Mr Azzopardi so no sand goes on our track. Students will run/walk on the green side of the track.
Following the relay race, a discussion will take place (for example, if they found it heavy, was it tiring, etc?) Students will be informed that there are children, like them, living in third world countries, who sometimes have to travel more than 4km (that is 10 times as much they did in the competition) to source water for their families, sometimes carrying even heavier loads.
Ms Sara, who had visited Kenya, showed the students photos of the children carrying water on their heads. Needless to say, it was a reality check for them!
