The Maltese traditonal Christmas at our school

Next Monday 17^th December, our will be open to the public. During this day, the students will be organising a day full of activities related to the Maltese Christmas. These activities begin at 9am.

Among the activities that the students, together with their educators, will be organising, there is a bazaar where ponsiettas will be sold. One stall will be selling books and other paraphernalia which can be given as presents. One might wonder what have these got to do with the Maltese Christmas? There will be Maltese authors who have written about Maltese traditions, and who have enriched the Maltese Christmas. One of these authors is Trevor Zahra, who will visit the school on the day to talk about this subject.

Apart from this, one cannot talk about the Maltese Christmas without talking about food. During this activity, there will be Maltese sweets for sale. These have been  prepared by the students together with the help of their teachers. Among these Maltese sweets, there will be honey rings and the traditional chestnut and chocolate drink, imbuljuta.

There will also be information how the Maltese crib and pasturi are done. There will also be information about the history of the terramaxka. There will also be a terramaxka at school which will be played in front of the student and the public who will be present on the day.

These activities will end at around 1pm, when the public and the students will gather in the main school  yard for the closing ceremony where there will also be a surprise for the students. We are all looking forward to this whole day event.
