Primary 5
Primary 5 Level Experience
Mother Tongue Fortnight
To promote a greater appreciation of the various cultures in Singapore,
P5 students will take part in the Mother Tongue Fortnight. The students
will gain a deeper appreciation of their own Mother Tongue through the
various cultural activities carried out during the two days.
National Education (NE) Show
A familiar highlight for a P5 student is the National Education (NE) Show which
is essentially a preview of the National Day Parade. They will get to enjoy
aerobatic displays by F-16 fighter jets, landings by the Red Lions parachutists,
and a security operations demonstration by the Singapore Armed Forces and
Home Team called the Total Defence Display.
Social Studies Museum-Based Learning
As part of the Social Studies syllabus, Primary 5 students will embark
on a journey to the Indian Heritage Centre to trace the
history of the Indian and South Asian communities in the Southeast Asian
region.
P5 Camp
With the theme “Beyond Self, Beyond Boundaries”, the
P5 Camp which will be held in September is something all
P5 students look forward to. The camp provides opportunities for students
to explore new places, learn something new and spend more time in nature. They
will also learn to be resilient and responsible as they look after themselves
and their team-mates.
Sports Education Programme
To provide each Teck Whyean the opportunity to pick up the new sport as
a team, the P5 students are introduced to tchoukball. Though
it is a highly intensive game comprising of strategic passing, coordinated
runs and powerful shots, it is a unique non-contact sport that encapsulates
the spirit of camaraderie, discipline and technique.
