Primary 3 Level Experience
Learning Journeys
In order to strengthen pupils’ understanding and cultivate their appreciation of the different cultural and ethnic groups in Singapore, the P3 pupils will go on a Field-based Learning Journey to Little India. This experience will give them an opportunity to discover the rich and vibrant heritage of the Indian community and learn about the different dried spices and their traditional uses by the local community. Pupils will also get to explore the stories and experiences of early Indian migrants and pioneers, and be inspired by their contributions to the development of Singapore today through five interactive permanent galleries of the Indian Heritage Centre.
P3 pupils will also get to visit the Singapore Science Centre for a lesson on animals that aims to help them understand the different animal groups taught during Science lessons better. They will observe animals in their respective habitats during a tour of the animal zone in the Science Centre.
Local pupils will get to buddy their international friends to visit Images of Singapore Live! This gives participants a chance to discover the colourful story of Singapore, from a humble fishing village to the 21st century powerhouse - told through live actors, special effects and immersive theming.
Swimsafer Programme
To help each Teck Whyean be a Healthy Individual, P3 pupils will attend the Swimsafer programme as part of their Sports Education Programme. This programme aims to equip pupils with water survival skills and swimming proficiency. At the end of the programme, pupils will be assessed on their ability to demonstrate water safety and swimming proficiency through a practical and theory test. A certificate of achievement will be awarded to pupils who have successfully attained swimming proficiency.
Gifted Education Programme (GEP)
The pupils will also go through the test for Gifted Education Programme (GEP) which identifies gifted pupils to allow them to move into the GEP stream. The GEP Screening Exercise is an optional test conducted by all Primary Schools to identify intellectually gifted pupils to realise their full potential in an educational environment that is designed to stimulate their intellectual growth.
