During school holidays, many parents face the same question: should they let their child rest, or use the break for learning? At WRITERS AT WORK, our Lower Primary English Programmes offer the best of both worlds. Our 3-day holiday courses for Primary 1 and 2 combine fun, interactive lessons with targeted practice in oral and writing skills. Children gain confidence without the stress of long-term tuition, making these short-term programmes an ideal way to provide a meaningful, productive holiday experience.
Our holiday programmes are designed to engage young learners, spark creativity, and build foundational English skills that will support their future academic journey.
Why Holiday Programmes Work for Lower Primary
Small Commitment, Big Impact
Even in just 3 days, children can practise essential oral and writing skills that are often overlooked in regular school lessons. A short, focused programme allows students to make measurable progress while keeping the experience light and manageable.
Importantly, our Holiday Programmes offer a glimpse into what our Regular Programmes are like. The teaching style, structure, and interactive approach mirror our ongoing classes, giving parents and children insight into how continued learning throughout the year can reinforce these skills.
Fun and Focused
Lessons are designed around engaging activities that capture young learners’ attention. Games, role-play, and creative exercises ensure that children enjoy the process while learning important techniques in speaking and writing.
A Productive Use of Holidays
Rather than spending the entire break on screens or unstructured play, children benefit from guided practice in a supportive environment. By engaging in purposeful learning, students gain confidence in English and return to school with a sense of accomplishment. This short programme helps families understand how a regular, structured course can continue to develop these skills over the year.
What Programmes We Provide for 3-Day Holiday
Primary 1 & 2 Oral Camp
Our Oral Camp is designed to make speaking fun and interactive. Through role-play and speaking games, children are encouraged to participate actively and build confidence in expressing their ideas. Vocabulary-building exercises and sentence starters help students form clear and complete answers, laying a strong foundation for future oral skills.
Primary 1 & 2 Composition Writing
The Composition Writing programme sparks creativity with imaginative prompts that inspire children to write. Step-by-step guidance helps young learners form complete sentences and short stories in a fun, low-pressure setting. By combining creativity with structured practice, students develop writing confidence and learn to enjoy expressing their thoughts on paper.
