Christmas Tree Decoration Exchange Project

Year 5 pupils at Zabbar Primary B are participating in the European Christmas Tree Decoration Exchange Project. Children from schools all across Europe will be making Christmas Tree decorations which they will share with participating schools.

The aim of this project is to educate young people in primary schools about other countries in the EU through a creative and fun activity. By making Christmas Tree decorations and putting together information about the celebration of Christmas in their own region, pupils will discover more about their own culture and traditions. When they receive decorations and other materials from all across Europe, they will learn about Christmas in other countries and about many other aspects of each country such as language, geography, history and culture, as well as an understanding of what it means to be a citizen of Europe. The exchange also aims to encourage schools to work with other schools across the EU in the future and to maintain contact with their exchange partners.

Apart from the Christmas Tree decorations, pupils are also creating an information blog about the project. You can read all about it here:
