Curriculum Aims

A Strong Foundation and A Rich Language for All - Approach to EL teaching from EL Syllabus 2010

MLEA (Modified Language Experience Approach towards Writing) at Lower Primary Levels

In MLEA, there is a shared experience that is linked to the Big Book that has been read during Shared Reading. The shared experience provides the context and content for the pupils to think and talk about, using the language structures and vocabulary they have learnt in Shared Book Approach (SBA).

Writing Process Cycle (WPC) at Upper Primary Levels

Basing on the principles of the Modified Language Experience Approach (MLEA) at the Lower Primary, WPC continues to guide pupils at the Upper Primary levels in the processes of planning, writing and reviewing before they apply these skills in writing independently.

We adopt a whole school approach towards reading. Besides carrying out Shared Book Reading activities in class and having storytelling session in the school library, we also collaborate with National Library Board (NLB) to carry out Read, Swap, Share programme and mass borrowing activities.

There are also customised programmes and competitions to stretch our learners.

The English Department organises learning journeys to theatre for all Lower Primary pupils.  These theatre experience help to ignite the pupils’ passion for English and appreciate theatre work. The trips are followed by writing a reflection in the journal as a classroom activities.
