Notas do Editor
- T
- The previous slide showed that different subjects appeared to have different standard and thus there is a need to standardise the marks before aggregating them. This is done through the use of T-Score.
- Schools will include the type of calculator for use in the book list. You can also refer to the SEAB’s website for the approved list for use in the examination. To maintain continuity from primary to secondary education, these calculators can also be used at the secondary level
- For Mathematics, the format of the paper will be also different from P4. As you can see there is an increase in the number of questions. Their foundation in Primary 5 must be fully grasp in order to prepare them for PSLE . P5 will be a vigorous year and most of the topics are build on one another. Thus a thorough understanding of each unit and their concepts is very important. As you can see there is a lot of word problems, do expose your child to more word problems at home for further revision.

- Under Academic Programme, we have several programmes. We have the school supplementary lesson which is conducted twice a week for an hour from 10.15 am – 12.00pm. One hour is for EMS and 45 minutes is for MT. Your child have 3 subject teachers to teach EMS, but do be assured that all the 3 subject teachers take turns to conduct supplementary lessons as well as remedial lesson. We provide remedials for pupils who are weak in their studies or cannot follow certain concept. Also there is the tuition programme from self-help group like mendaki, CDAC and Sinda. If you need any of these assistance, you can come to me and we can help you with it. Lastly, these are the list of 8 activities that we are having in Primary 5. During this activities, we integrate different subjects together so as to enable the child to learn more.
- The 5 core themes provide a broad based understanding of the environment and will help build a foundation upon which students can rely on for further study. The topics under each theme should not be viewed as compartmentalised blocks of knowledge. Conscious effort to show the relationship between themes. Spiral Approach – This is characterised by revisiting of concepts and skills at different levels with increasing depth. It allows the learning of scientific concepts and skills to match students’ cognitive development. It therefore helps students build upon their existing understanding of concepts and facilitates the gradual mastery of skills.
- Topics which are underlined are not required for students taking Foundation Science
- Teachers are encouraged to provide opportunities for students to use concepts and integrate skills and processes to inquire things and phenomena around them.
- Processes are complex operations which call upon the use of several skills. At the primary level, the processes expected of students are as follows. Scientific Inquiry Students need to understand the what(content) and the how(process) of understanding the world that we live in. Using the 5Es approach – Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate.
- In all scientific inquiry, the adoption of certain mental attitudes is advocated. Opportunities are provided in the classroom for students to ask questions.

- We hope to develop a partnership with you in helping your child. We need your support and also to work closely with the staff for the benefit of your child. To help your child succeed, kindly encourage then to do all homework in a quiet environment. Also ensure that they attend supplementary and remedial lessons regularly and punctually. Think ‘Science’ when answer questions – which theme – what are the facts, concepts and principles – apply the process skills – use the proper science terms.
