Primary 3
Primary 3 Level Experience
Learning Journeys
In order to strengthen students’ understanding and cultivate their appreciation
of the different cultural and ethnic groups in Singapore, the P3 students
will go on various Field-based Learning Journey like heritage trails. These
journeys aim to build an appreciation for Singapore’s unique cultural and
ethnic diversity while fostering social harmony and inclusivity.
P3 students will also get to visit the Singapore Science Centre for a lesson on plants that aims to help them understand the unusual plants. They will learn the different types of plants, plant parts and functions.
During their visit to Kok Fah Technology Farm, P3 students will learn about innovative farming methods such as soil farming and hydroponics, exploring how fresh produce reaches supermarkets. They will experience salad tasting to understand the benefits of a healthy diet. At the end of the tour, each student will take home a packet of fresh, locally grown vegetables to share with their family.
Gifted Education Programme (GEP)
The students will also go through the test for Gifted Education Programme
(GEP) which identifies gifted students 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 students to realise their
full potential in an educational environment that is designed to stimulate
their intellectual growth.
Mother Tongue Fortnight
To promote a greater appreciation of the various cultures in Singapore,
P3 students will take part in the Mother Tongue Fortnight. The students
will gain a deeper appreciation of their own Mother Tongue language through
the various cultural activities carried out.
