P2 CURRICULUM MATTERS

English Curriculum

STELLAR: Strategies for English Language Learning

and Reading

A new English Language Curriculum for Primary Schools in Singapore

Children who Love reading and Have a strong foundation in the

English Language

The STELLAR Vision

What is a STELLAR lesson like?

1.Shared Reading Experiences

3. Language Use Activities in Learning Centres

Children read storybook with the teacher and engage in oral

discussions with teacher and peers.

The teacher prepares mini lessons based on specific needs of children to prepare them for reading & writing activities; e.g. grammar, vocabulary, word recognition,

decoding skills, spelling.

The teacher models writing using children’s language. Children engage in writing

together and in writing independently.

2.Shared Writing Experiences

Books open up the world for children help children think and wonder increase children’s vocabulary and

knowledge about the world around them

provide good examples for reading and writing

Why Books?

More writing activities

Expand on Vocabulary

Comprehension skills

P2 STELLAR

Role models – read and write notes and messages in front of your child.

Understanding – English language learning requires frequent exposure to listening, speaking, reading and writing opportunities and activities rather than use of worksheets alone.

STELLAR Needs Parents’ Support

Mathematics Curriculum

The new syllabus was introduced to P1 in 2013.

Year-by-year Implementation of New Maths Syllabus2013 2014 2015 2016 201

)

Focus more on developing skills and competencies to make pupils a better 21st century learner.

Students engage in activities to explore and learn mathematical concepts and skills, individually or in groups.

They use manipulatives or other resources to construct meanings and understandings. From concrete manipulatives and experiences, students are guided to uncover abstract mathematical concepts or results.

Textbooks and Workbooks – My Pals are Here (3rd Edition)

New Maths Syllabus

Show interest in your child’s progress in Mathematics and be involved as a parent.

Relate Mathematics to real-life situations by engaging your child in meaningful and fun activities.

Teach concepts using things around us. Compare numbers, get your child to tell

you which is greater / smaller.

How Parents Can Help

Encourage your child to learn spelling of number words eg. spell the numbers from zero to one thousand.

Ensure that your child memorises multiplication tables (esp 2, 3, 4, 5 & 10)

Practise, Practise & Practise.
