Differentiated Instruction,
Assessment for Learning.
Aligning with Science Curriculum Framework by these approaches
3 Ins (Inspire. Inquire. Innovate) – way of leading
CFD (Conceptual Flow Diagram) – way of understanding
3Cs (Capture, Construct, Consolidate) – way of teaching
Process Skills – way of rationalising
CER (Claim, Evidence, Reasoning) – way of answering
4. Key Science related Programmes :
Earth Week, Biodiversity Week, Water Week
P3 learning Journey (in 2022, its an online Zoo LJ; in 2023, it is a physical Zoo LJ)
Science competitions (SPSO, RSO)
Robotics Club
Science and Green Club
E2K (Science enrichment) for P4 and P5
P3 and P5 Science Enrichment/Remedial during PSLE marking week
ALP programmes
5. Dept workplan
The workplan was a working document done up with inputs from the Science KPs and it has been uploaded as follows:
6. Dept Admin Matters
A department workplan was presented to the department teachers in Jan 2023. This would cover setter/vetter (for WA/EYE), programme owners, level representatives and updates on mission, vision, values. We update on a regular basis the result analysis term by term. An example of the above key information for the staff is shared in the powerpoint slide attached below.
