USING COLLEGE GROUNDS JUNIOR SCHOOL – YEAR 4

A science unit on Maltese plants and trees provided the perfect excuse to go exploring the grounds, looking for such local species as Lellux (Crown Daisy), Siġra tal-Ħarrub (Carob tree) and Fennel (bużbież). The boys really enjoyed being able to see the ‘course materials’ in a real way, learning by actually seeing and touching these wonderful plants. We are so fortunate to be able to observe nature so easily and abundantly, right on our own doorstep.

Boys also spied habitats for local wildlife including the native song thrushes, geckos and spiders… some were more excited than others about these!

We are lucky to be able to enjoy outdoor learning at St Edward’s, our expansive grounds give us that option, and we are ever grateful to Joey our gardener for looking after everything so devotedly.
