Year 4
In Year 4, children will engage in a wide range of activities linked to Science, Social Studies, Maltese, and English. They will practice identifying key features in texts about nature and learn how to extract information effectively, helping them use precise language and speak with confidence on the topic. At the same time, the activities will deepen their understanding of urban birds and how they survive, while also raising awareness about the impact humans have on the natural world.
