Terms 1-3 provide explicit practice for the new format PSLE (2015) by consolidating the core content of the Singaporean MOE English Language Primary Curriculum (2010). Term 4 gives our students a foundation in language and social skills to approach Secondary school with confidence. By using a variety of themes, skills are frequently recycled and reviewed.
