Foreward Dear Parents,
Welcome to Anderson Primary School.
We welcome you and your child on board as we journey together through your child’s
primary school education. As we prepare our children to be future ready citizens,
strong home-school collaboration is desired. This will have positive impact on a child’s
learning, self-esteem, attitudes and behaviour in life.
This communication package has been put together to provide you with information
about the Primary 1 curriculum and assessment. We trust that you will find this a useful
resource.
With your strong support, we strive to provide a holistic education for your child.

Our Primary School Curriculum At A Glance
The inner circle centring on life skills ensures that students acquire sound values and
skills to take them through life as responsible adults and active citizens. It comprises
the non-academic curriculum.
The middle circle on knowledge skills seeks to develop students’ thinking, process
and communication skills. This will enable students to analyse and use information
and be able to express their thoughts and ideas clearly and effectively. It comprises
skills-based subjects.
The outermost circle covers the content-based subject disciplines i.e. Languages,
Humanities & the Arts, and Mathematics & Sciences. It ensures that students have a
good grounding in content across different areas of study.

21st Century Competencies & Desired Student Outcomes Education is about helping our students discover their own talents make the best of
these talents and realise their full potential, and develop a passion for learning that
lasts through life.
The education landscape in Singapore is evolving with the aim of nurturing our
students more holistically and equipping them with the skills and values beyond
knowledge.
In 2008, then Minster of Education, Mr Ng Eng Hen, called for a review of the primary
education, resulting in the PERI (Primary Education Review and Implementation)
recommendations in two broad areas, namely balancing knowledge with skills and
value and providing more resources for a quality primary education. One of the
outcomes of the PERI review is a set of educational outcomes which underpin the
holistic education that schools provide to better prepare our students to thrive in a fast-
changing and highly-connected world.
To better position our students to take advantage of opportunities in a globalised world,
our students need to possess life-ready competencies like creativity, innovation, cross-
cultural understanding and resilience. The diagram below illustrates the Desired
Student Outcomes and the 21st Century Competencies.

Shared Book Approach (SBA) For Reading
In place of textbooks, pupils are introduced to numerous big books. These are huge,
colourful picture books with interesting stories and age-appropriate language
structures.
In Shared Book Approach, the teacher reads a Big Book with the pupils, while asking
questions to encourage pupils to think about the story and talk about their views.
Children learn to become confident communicators. The reading session is followed
by activities that focus on language items related to the books read. They learn
phonics, vocabulary, grammar and other language skills within the context of the
stories.
Modified Language Experience Approach (MLEA) for Writing
This approach begins with a language experience (such as learning journey or hands-
on activity) that is linked to the current big book. This gives the pupils an authentic
experience to think and talk about. The teacher uses questioning techniques to guide
the pupils to express their ideas using language structures that have been learned in
SBA. The teacher writes down pupils’ contributions on a large piece of paper, thereby
modelling the process of writing. The piece is displayed in class for pupils’ reference
as they go on to write in groups to create a parallel writing piece. Such groundwork
paves the way for independent writing.
MLEA is only introduced in Term 2.
Learning Centres (LC)
We reinforce and extend pupils’ learning via the use of Learning Centres (LC) in Term
2. LC, activities are planned and differentiated for the pupils in three main learning
centres – the Reading Centre, the Word Study Centre and the Listening Centre. Pupils
have the opportunity to re-learn, revisit or extend what they have learnt at their own
pace and in differentiated ability groups.

Mathematics in Anderson Primary School It is essential that every child understands and able to extend the learning of
Mathematical concepts and skills beyond the classroom walls- real world problem
solving. With that goal in mind, and guided by the *framework below, the school’s
direction for teaching, learning and assessment in Mathematics is designed to provide
sufficient opportunities for children to develop their mathematics concepts and skills
with meaningful learning experiences.
* Mathematical problem solving is central to mathematics learning. It involves the
acquisition and application of mathematics concepts and skills in a wide range of
situation, including non-routine, open-ended and real-world problems.
The development of mathematical problem solving ability is dependent on five-related
components, namely, Concepts, Skills, Processes, Attitudes and Metacognition.
Beliefs Interests
Appreciation Confidence
Perseverance
Monitoring of one’s own thinking Self-regulation of learning
Numerical calculation Algebraic manipulation
Spatial visualization Data Analysis
Measurements Use of mathematical tools
Estimation
Reasoning, communication and connections Thinking skills and heuristics Application and modelling Numerical

The school advocates the adoption of Concrete- Pictorial- Abstract Approach to the
teaching and learning of Mathematics through a series of structured learning
experiences.
Concrete- Pictorial- Abstract Approach
Concrete materials (such as interlocking cubes, weighing balances, dice)
introduce young learners to mathematical concepts through real-world
experiences. This introduction enhances pupils’ understanding, helps to build
confidence in the subject and develops positive attitude towards mathematics.
It is important that children find the relevance and appreciate Mathematics as
a meaningful tool in everyday life.
After which, building on the basic understanding of the concepts developed,
children progress by learning to make pictorial representation (such as
drawings, diagrams, charts) of the mathematical concepts.
The children would have grasped the concepts and made sense of the various
mathematical ideas, as well as their connections and applications. They would
move on to the abstract stage where they learn to use symbolic
representations proficiently in problem solving.
Learning Experiences
Carefully constructed learning experiences are essential in developing
children’s cognitive and metacognitive process skills, such as being inquisitive
and collaborative. For each topic, the learning experiences allow the children
to have the opportunities to
practise basic mathematical skills to achieve mastery
discuss, articulate and explain ideas to develop reasoning skills
solving problems using a repertoire of heuristics
use feedback from assessment to improve learning
We adopt a range of assessment modes to allow our teachers to gather information
about the child’s learning and provide feedback to the children on their mastery of
concepts and skills as well as their strengths and areas for improvement. The different
modes of assessment include:
Mathematics Journal Writing
Mathematics Journal writing allows children to establish relationship and
connection between a mathematical concept and personal experiences
through words or pictures. By reading students’ journal, teachers could
gain greater insights into the student’s cognitive processes and attitudes
towards Mathematics.
Anderson Primary School PERI-HA Communication Package 2017 Page 16
Performance Assessment
Performance Assessment includes problem-solving tasks and tasks that require student to use mathematical instruments or/and manipulatives.
These assessments aim to develop and strengthen the students’ critical
thinking and reasoning skills through solving of questions and assess
the students’ ability to use a tool correctly and accurately.
Fluency Assessment
Fact fluency is essential as it will provide students with greater
confidence when learning Mathematics concepts and solving problems.
This assessment aims to provide more comprehensive picture of
student’s level of mastery and how different strategies could be adopted
for every student.
Written Assessment
Pencil-and-paper assessments are used to assess students’
mathematical achievement in various cognitive levels. As every
question is aligned to a specific learning outcome, the assessment
provides a clear indication on the students’ strengths and weaknesses
in specific areas.

What is the Focus of Mother Tongue Language Learning
(MTL) ?
Our focus is to support and enable every pupil to learn MTL to as high a level as each
pupil is able to. The focus of MTL learning is to develop proficient language users as
follows:
a. Communication – This is a valuable skill for life and work. In addition to their
mastery of the English language, proficiency and ability to communicate in MTL
gives Singaporeans a competitive edge.
b. Culture – Learning MTL enables our pupils to understand and develop their
unique identity through a deeper appreciation of culture, traditions, literature
and history. This is a critical base to preserve the transmission of cultural values
and traditions associated with each MTL in our society.
c. Connection – Proficiency in MTL enables our students to connect with
communities across Asia and the people who speak that language or share that
culture.
In achieving the above objectives, the key is to help pupils to like, learn and use their
MTL as a living language, and produce active learners and proficient users who can
communicate effectively in a variety of real-life set

PERI Holistic Assessment In Primary Schools
Information for Parents
Introduction
The Primary Education Review and Implementation (PERI) Committee was formed in
October 2008 to study ways to enhance primary education. PERI articulated the goals of
enabling our children to grow up to be confident persons, able to work well in teams, and
able to communicate their thoughts and ideas effectively. The children’s curiosity and
desire to find out more about the world they live in should be nurtured. They should also
develop the skills of learning which will stand them in good stead for life.
To achieve these outcomes, the PERI Committee made several recommendations,
including the use of holistic assessment to support the children’s learning and help them
acquire knowledge and develop skills and values.
Holistic Assessment in Primary Schools
Assessment is an important part of learning and teaching and helps provide useful
information to your child, your child’s teachers and you. Assessment is generally carried
out for two main purposes – (i) to measure pupils’ attainment and report evidence of
learning in different learning areas and (ii) to support pupils’ learning and classroom
teaching.
At Primary 1 and 2, when your child is just beginning school, a key focus should be on
building his confidence and desire to learn. Thus, assessment will focus on providing rich
information on the learning progress of the child. Quantitative feedback in the form of
grades and marks, and qualitative feedback in the form of teacher comments will help your
child learn about his strengths, weaknesses and steps he could take to improve in his
learning. For parents, this feedback can also help you support your child’s learning and
growth.
In the implementation of Holistic Assessment, schools will use a range of appropriate
assessment modes for different purposes to support the development of the whole child.
At Primary One, single-point assessments such as semestral examinations will be de-
emphasised to ensure a smoother transition from pre-school to primary school. Bite-sized
forms of assessment such as topical tests, short writing, reading and performance tasks
will be used to provide young pupils with more opportunities to experience success and
build their confidence and desire to learn. Teachers will also use a range of assessment
strategies such as questioning, giving of feedback, and peer- and self-assessment to
support your child’s learning.
Anderson Primary School PERI-HA Communication Package 2017 Page 19
You will receive information about your child’s progress through progress cards as well as
mid-year and end-year report cards. You will also receive information through a portfolio
containing pieces of your child’s work which represent his progress and achievements in
the various areas of learning. Teachers’ qualitative comments in the portfolio and on your
child’s work will inform you more about his strengths, weaknesses and how he can improve.
Role of Parents
As parents, you play a critical role in your child’s learning and development. You can
support your child by spending time with him when he does his homework, encouraging
him and praising him for his effort and progress.
Do attend dialogue sessions with your child’s teachers and communicate with them so that
you and the school can work together to enhance your child’s learning and development.
Teachers and parents are the key to unlock the potential within a child. We look
forward to working with you as partners in educating your child.

Summative Assessments are used to assess and report on pupils’ level of
achievement of learning objectives. These are weighted and the marks obtained are
counted towards the overall results at the end of the year. Please note that for terms
2 to 4, the percentage of the weighted assessments will add up to 100%.
Formative Assessments (Non-weighted)
The formative assessments will take place throughout the year. The goal of formative
assessment is to gather timely feedback that can be used by the teachers and the
pupils to guide improvements on the on-going teaching and learning context. These
are developmental assessments and do not carry any weighting towards the final
score. The information is also helpful for pupils to assess and reflect on the level of
mastery of the concepts and/or skills. Besides, parents can use the information to
provide the necessary support and encouragement for their child/ward.
These formative assessments are carried out using different subject-appropriate
modes of assessment. They include performance assessments and problem solving
tasks to name a few.
