Learning Beyond the Classroom

The learning journey to Singapore Zoo provides students with the opportunity to learn more about the characteristics of different animals, the sounds that they make and how they move. In the following English lesson, students recounted about their personal experience at the zoo by describing the setting, experiences or series of events with the use of factual and sensory details.

The learning journey to Singapore Science Centre enables pupils to learn more about the characteristics, parts and life cycles of insects and butterflies. Pupils get to see in real life what they have learnt from the big book, “A Butterfly is Born”.

The drama programme in Term 3 aims to develop pupils’ ability to communicate effectively and confidently to convey meaning in good standard English.

Students learn how meaning is conveyed with expression and fluency using a combination of semiotic modes.

English lessons are designed with pedagogical emphasis on Multiliteracies, Metacognition and Inquiry through Dialogue to develop our students' knowledge and meaningful application of the English Language.
