And off they go, the Year 6 boys on their trip to Sicily accompanied by Ms Samantha Abela.
A trip to Sicily from Malta offers an enriching educational experience for 12-year-old boys. The journey provides an opportunity to explore both historical and cultural connections between the two islands. Visiting ancient sites like the Valley of the Temples and the Roman mosaics in Piazza Armerina allows students to learn about Roman and Greek civilizations firsthand. Sicily’s unique blend of cultures—Greek, Roman, Arab, and Norman—offers lessons in history, art, and architecture. Additionally, the trip promotes geography awareness, enhancing their understanding of Mediterranean ecosystems and the region’s biodiversity. This experience fosters curiosity, cultural appreciation, and critical thinking.
