Laura Vicuna School is a small school located in the middle of Ghasri Square. We’re lucky to be surrounded by green areas and fresh air. We have a couple of green areas also at school.
We‘ve been implementing The GLOBE Programme for the past three years and the interest, knowledge and hands-on approach was appreciated by learners and educators alike. This investigation was part of the GLOBE Malta Europe Direct Soil Project for the scholastic year 2023 – 2024. We decided to take a closer look at the soil areas surrounded the school. We selected a patch of soil which is located in our front area of the school and which is not obstructed by any buildings.
