Most hollies prefer a site that receives morning sun, or slightly shaded. They need a moist, but well drained soil, enriched with lots of organic matter. They will grow in most soil types. The holly is an evergreen small tree or large shrub with spiny, dark green, lustrous leaves and grey bark. Seedless red berries borne in profusion are attractive in winter. Should be protected from sun in hot, dry areas. Prefers acid soil.

Grow your poinsettia in bright, indirect light, in a draught-free spot with a temperature of around 13-15°C. The most common problem when growing poinsettias is that the leaves wilt and drop off. This is a sign of cold conditions. Remember poinsettias are from Mexico and need to be kept at a minimum temperature of 13ºC, away from draughts (including near doors, fireplaces or single-glazed windows).Water sparingly, typically when the surface of the compost has started to dry out. Mist regularly to increase humidity and keep the colourful bracts looking their best for longer. After Christmas, feed monthly with a high potassium liquid feed.

22nd December is the last school day for 2022. This year, food and drink for the class party will be provided by the students. On the day, children are to attend in casual clothing. School will start again on the 9^th January 2023.

Thank you for your cooperation. All the best!

Waqt il-kunsill skolastiku kien ġie maqbul li jinġabru l-flus għall-Pink October.

Inġabret is-somma sabiħa ta’ 390 euro. Volontiera tal-Hospice, is-Sinjura Lorraine Cauchi, ingħatat din id-donazzjoni.

Hi rringrazzjat lil kulħadd ta’ dan il-ġest sabiħ u tal-ammont sabiħ li tajniha f’isem l-iskola tagħna.

Grazzi lis-Sa Katia Zammit li għamlet kuntatt mal-Hospice biex jiġu l-iskola ħalli ntuhom din id-donazzjoni.
