ENGLISH ENRICHMENT PROGRAMME

For a start, we focus on building a strong foundation in the English Language of our Primary 1 students. The programme covers basic grammar rules, sentence formation, thematic vocabulary, show and tell, and comprehension answering techniques. The key is to cultivate our students’ interest in learning English Language and build their confidence in speaking, reading and writing.

As students move on to Primary 2, we continue to build their foundation in the English Language by expanding their vocabulary and developing their writing and reading skills. We would also introduce more grammar rules and hone their sentence formation and comprehension answering skills. The key is to help Primary 2 students develop a deeper interest in learning the English Language and gain the confidence to voice their own personal opinions and express themselves in a coherent manner.

At Primary 3, the programme focuses on exposing students to a wide range of themes and topics through comprehension passages and writing. Through engaging classroom discussions, Primary 3 students develop critical thinking skills to help them tackle comprehension open-ended exercises and ace oral examinations. Students will also expand their vocabulary bank, learn intermediate grammar rules, different comprehension question types, examination techniques and skills related to answer with precision.

At Primary 4, the programme enhances its focus to prepare students for the challenges of upper primary English examinations. Students will sharpen their answering techniques and answer precision to tackle the English Paper 2 exams. Besides that, students will learn intermediate and advanced grammar rules and thematic vocabulary that will help to build a strong foundation in the language. The programme will also develop students’ critical thinking, reflective learning and oral presentation skills to help them excel in English and achieve their personal best.

At Primary 5, the programme enhances its focus to prepare students for PSLE through a systematic approach in reinforcing key examination techniques and answering skills. There will be a strong emphasis on strengthening Primary 5 students’ advanced grammar rules and expanding their vocabulary bank to help them tackle synthesis and transformation, comprehension cloze and comprehension open-ended. In addition, the programme is designed to expose students to a wide variety of topics to help them develop strong communication skills for oral examination.

At PSLE, our students receive specialised coaching in these challenging components to help them to achieve A-star in PSLE English Language.

• Paper 1 (Situational Writing and Composition Writing)
• Paper 2 (Vocabulary, Grammar, Comprehension Cloze, Synthesis & Transformation, Comprehension Open-ended)
• Oral Examination (Reading & Stimulus-based Conversation)

Students are guided to execute key examination strategies and techniques in the lead up to the PSLE. There will be extensive practices to expose our students to popular PSLE exam questions and build their stamina to handle the rigour of PSLE English exams.
