Grade 9 outing
to the
Hagar Qim & Mnajdra Archaeological Park and to the Tarxien Temples
Monday the 20th of May
2013 was a special day for the Grade 9 students of San Andrea School since they
spent the day visiting some of Malta’s megalithic temples to complement what
they had already learnt in class about Maltese prehistory.
We started the day by visiting
the Visiting Centre at the Hagar Qim and Mnajdra Archaeological Park. At this visitor centre, the students had the
opportunity to learn from the various interactive displays available. The students then proceeded to visit the
megalithic temples of Hagar Qim and Mnajdra where they viewed all the various
unique features of these UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
In the afternoon, the students
visited another world heritage site, the megalithic temples of Tarxien. During their guided tour of this site, the
students learnt, amongst other things, about how the site was discovered, who
excavated it and the various unique decorative elements of the temple.
This outing was truly enjoyable
for the students since it was very informative and fun at the same time.
