Content and Language Mastery

Learn advanced grammar rules and thematic vocabulary that will help them to build a strong foundation in the language. These include:

• Sensorial verbs
• Transformation of words in sentences
• Direct to reported speech and vice versa

Skills and Techniques

Students refine their skills in the following key areas:

Speaking

• Students will reinforce their communication and interview skills through DSA preparation classes and public speaking platforms such as debates. They will learn how to engage with the audience and present their arguments in a convincing and coherent manner

Reading and writing

• Students will learn how to write an engaging story with a clear structure and thoughtful use of writing techniques
• Learn to plan stories in a sequential and logical manner as well as identify logic gaps
• Practise creating story ideas that relate directly to the theme and visuals
• Students will also refine their use of writing techniques such as flashback, foreshadowing, twist and hook
• Students will also be trained in situational writing and learn how to write different text types such as emails, letters and reports
• Employ the WISE method (Writing= Ideas +Structure + Expression)

Metacognitive Skills

Students will hone their metacognitive abilities and develop skills that will help them evaluate their own work.

These include:

• Error analysis
• Answer precision
• The ability to identify logic gaps
• The ability to answer inferential questions
  
• Analysis of assessment rubrics

Contextualised Learning

Students will be introduced to a wide variety of themes that will help them to link classroom learning to events, people, places and cultures in the real world.

Key themes include:

• Politics and economics
• Sport and entertainment
  
• Arts and culture

Content Mastery

• Students will master new topics such as Percentage, Ratio, Area of Triangles, Rates, Average and Volume
• Students will learn how to solve word problems involving a combination of topics such as Percentage, Ratio and Fractions
• Students will learn to solve word problems involving concepts such as Part-whole Relationship, Units & Parts, Working Backwards, Constant Difference, Redistribution and Repeated Identity
• Students will be exposed to new question trends involving logical reasoning and real-world applied learning

Skills and Techniques

• Students will apply heuristics such as Unitary method, Advanced Model Drawing, Supposition and Forming Equations to solve word problems
• Students will construct geometrical shapes i.e., triangles and quadrilaterals on square grids
• Students will learn to use a calculator to solve questions for Paper 2

Applied Learning

• Students will explore and hone their logical reasoning skills through relating and reasoning numerical data given in a problem situation
• Students will reinforce new concepts learnt through class activities and games such as Ratio Tug-of-War which requires students to match equivalent ratios
• Students will appreciate the real-life application of Math through class activities and problems in real world context such as relating baking proportions to Ratio

Content Mastery

• Students will be introduced to new topics such as Electrical System, Air and Living Things, Water and Changes of State and Reproduction in Plants
• Students will revise the topics covered in Primary 3 and 4 at greater depth and learn how to apply the concepts to questions of higher order thinking

Skills and Techniques

• Students will be closely guided on how to use appropriate scientific keywords and answering techniques to construct answers in specific context of different open-ended/free response questions
• Students will learn to adopt a systematic approach to question analysis and build confidence in tackling unfamiliar application questions
• Students will recognise the purpose of a control set-up and construct an appropriate control set-up for a given experiment
• Students will learn how to design fair experiments and explain how a controlled variable or a specific experimental procedure ensures a fair test
• Students will gain more exposure to questions that require them to interpret data presented in various formats (e.g. tables, graphs, charts and diagrams) to infer relationships, draw conclusions, or explain findings related to P5 topics

Applied Learning

• Students will conduct hands-on activities (e.g. construct series and parallel electric circuits) to hone practical skills and observe scientific concepts in action
• Students will gain a deeper understanding of abstract concepts (e.g. factors affecting evaporation and condensation) through in-class demonstrations/ experiment videos
• Students will be exposed to application questions which require them to make connections between their conceptual knowledge and real-world contexts
