From November 2025, our class, with the help of gardening teachers, managed to take care of caterpillars in our school garden and classroom. What started as a normal gardening session, ended up as a rescue mission for caterpillars and their eggs from our crops. we picked them up, observed them and protected them until they became butterflies! We also managed to learn why they are important for our environment!

Shall this be our new rule in nature? Should we simply walk on foot to enjoy it, and leave the natural environment in its original state? Or are we walking on foot just to sign the paperwork?

Soil is an essential resource to which many do not give much thought. It can take thousands of years to form and is fundamental, directly and indirectly, to several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Unfortunately, in our country, it is increasingly under threat. This video about soil in Malta was produced by Marie Therese Pavia and Aidan Gauci (University of Malta, Ġ.F Abela Junior College) as part of the Young Reporters for the Environment competition 2020. It investigates issues related to local soil so as to raise awareness and knowledge about this vital natural resource. The following is the link of the video:
