Primary 4

Primary 4 Level Experience

P4 SwimSafer Programme
As part of the MOE PE Syllabus, the SwimSafer programme is compulsory for all Primary 4 students. This is a national water safety programme which is designed to equip a child with the necessary skills to learn swimming at the end of the course. The programme aims to help the students gain confidence and develop independence in the water, as well as learn general and deep-end water safety. Lessons will be conducted by qualified coaches registered with the National Registry of Coaches. 

Through the swimming programme, students will learn to be water-safe and acquire lifelong swimming skills. Students will be grouped according to their swimming abilities. At the end of the programme, students will be assessed on their ability to demonstrate water safety and swimming proficiency. A certificate of achievement will be awarded to pupils, indicating their proficiency levels. Each class will also have exclusive use of the entire swimming pool as it is closed to the public during the lessons.  Although the students only attended a few sessions due to the heightened alert, they enjoyed themselves tremendously and looked forward to these swimming lessons in the future

P4 Museum-based Learning
The P4 students will get to visit the National Gallery for a guided tour by Education Facilitators who showcased selected artworks from the National Collection. This is a part of the Aesthetics and Social Studies syllabus which gave students an insight on the development of Singapore through the years. The artefacts in the museums provide students with a glimpse of the art work and its artist. 

Music Appreciation @ Teck Whye Primary School
As part of the Primary 4 Music syllabus, students will embark on a Foundation Ukulele program where they will learn basic chords such as C, G, F, and Am, as well as simple strumming patterns. This engaging and hands-on experience introduces students to foundational music skills, enhances their coordination, and builds confidence as they play and perform familiar songs. The program aims to foster a love for music while encouraging creativity and teamwork through group jam sessions and class performances. The program will culminate in a mini recital, where students can showcase their progress and celebrate their musical journey with their peers and teachers.

E2k Mathematics and Science Programme for P4 students
The E2K Science programme aims to develop scientific inquiry process skills where students learn Science by going through the same process that scientists use to generate knowledge. 

The E2K Mathematics programme aims to develop students’ mathematical reasoning skills and deepen their conceptual understanding through an inquiry approach. Pupils will have opportunities to collaborate with their peers and engage in mathematical thinking through resources such as puzzles, games and mathematics explorations which are specially designed for the programme. The rich learning experiences offered by the programmes serve to help pupils to develop the habits, attitudes and dispositions scientists and mathematicians possess, as well as to gain important 21st century competencies such as critical and inventive thinking and effective communication skills.

P4 Kreta Ayer Heritage Gallery
During their learning journey to Kreta Ayer Heritage Gallery, P4 students will explore the rich heritage and history of Kreta Ayer, a cultural heartland of Chinatown. Through archival materials and historical artifacts sourced from the community, they will learn about traditional cultural forms such as Nanyin music, Chinese puppetry, and calligraphy, as well as the area's vibrant past in the 19th and 20th centuries. This experience helps students appreciate the significance of cultural heritage in Singapore.
