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

Algebraic Geometrical

Statistical Probabilistic

Anderson Primary School PERI-HA Communication Package 2017 Page 15

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.
