Year 5
During Year 5 activities, students will explore a range of natural phenomena, recording their observations in structured tables and taking simple measurements to strengthen analytical thinking. These experiences will boost their confidence in STEM subjects as well as in discussing science and the environment using English and Maltese. Students will also deepen their understanding of different habitats and the plants and animals that live within them, linking learning across Science, English, and Maltese.
