Geography Fieldwork

As part of the Geography syllabus, students have a study about settlements in the Maltese Islands. Students research how the settlements developed over the years and study their sphere of influence. The chosen settlement for this year’s study, Mosta is a large town that developed over the past decade into a major shopping area, especially on Mondays when the hawkers market is in full swing.

The Sphere of Influence is also known as the catchment area of a settlement. This is the size of the area served by the same settlement. The larger the settlement the greater the number of shops or services and a wider variety. Therefore this area has a wider area from where people are travel to get to it. This means there is a larger sphere of influence.

As part of the fieldwork the students had to form a questionnaire and ask the consumers in the area a number of questions related to the main three hypotheses:

• -        The sphere of influence will extend more to the north than to the south.
• -    Most people will travel to central Mosta to shop on foot.
• -        Consumers buy more low order goods than high order goods.

Once the students gathered enough questionnaires to prove or disprove the first two hypotheses presented to them they were asked to map out the market – mainly Constitution Street - and list each and every shop as selling high or low order goods. Eventually, this exercise would help provide results to conclude the third hypothesis.

The students enjoyed the opportunity to engage in an out of class activity. Through the questionnaires the students had to chance to interact with people, from various walks of life, doing their shopping from the Mosta market.

Our Natural Heritage

Found on the the  Mediterranean/Black Sea Flyway, which connects Europe with Africa, Malta is a 'land bridge' for some migratory birds.

Two Grade 8 classes were treated to a day at the BirdPark. This is because in an activity organised by their Grade Tutor, Ms. Elaine Bajada, they were the two classes that collected most pet food.  This was then donated to two animal carers – Pat from Noah’s Ark, who looks after abandoned dogs, and Rita, a cat carer who feeds about 200 cats from different areas in Malta.

At the BirdPark, they spent a very pleasant and enjoyable day away from the classroom, outdoors in the company of various animals. They were guided through the park by the very knowledgeable guides and they had a chance to observe the different habitats, many of which are actually found in Malta, in which birds and other animals may live. The children were also given a short talk about migratory species, as it is very common for wild birds to settle in the park for some time too.
