Curricular Goal

Nurture a Community of Science Inquirers

Our school adopts an inquiry-based approach to the teaching and learning of Science. Inquiry-based learning allows our students to make observations, ask questions, think creatively and critically to investigate on a problem and make connections to science concepts.

Our science curriculum provides our students with a range of learning experiences in the form of scientific investigations, authentic learning and learning journeys.

Environment Science Club

Members of the Environmental Science Club actively participate in a range of experiments and activities centered around sustainability. They also champion the cultivation of positive sustainable habits, particularly on upcycling — an innovative practice that involves transforming old and used materials into new, usable products.

Science Week

Science Week was organised to allow the learning of Science to take place outside of their usual curriculum. Students got a chance to explore different areas of Science using simple, everyday materials that they are normally exposed to, like plasticine, toothpicks, aluminium foil, batteries, and more! The activities are designed to show that even without prior knowledge of Science, students can still find joy in Science through experimental learning.

Hydroponics

Our Primary 3 students will have the opportunity to transplant and harvest local vegetables such as Milk Cabbage and Chye Sim. This hands-on experience allows students to witness the practical application of their classroom knowledge as they observe the life cycle of the plants through the growth of these vegetables.
