Curriculum Information  2020

Assessment Modes

• With the removal of examination for Primary One, teachers willmonitor and understand students’ learning progress through dailyteaching and learning in the classrooms.

• Our teachers care for their students’ well‐being and progress inlearning. As such, they will provide parents timely and specificfeedback about the learning progress.

• Non‐weighted assessments will be used to support students’ learning, gauge their learning progress, and address learning gaps. 

• Class work, discussions and interactions, bite‐sized assessments aresome of the ways to serve as checkpoints to allow teachers togather information about students’ learning. These checkpoints willno longer count towards an overall result.

• We will use qualitative descriptors instead of marks and grades toreport students’ learning progress in the report book (HolisticDevelopment Profile).

School‐Home Partnership

Encourage Joy of Learning by … 

• not over‐emphasising academic performance

• focussing on your child’s/ward’s learning journey, rather than compare them to others

School‐Home Partnership

Give your child/ward the time and space to deepen learning

Spend time together …

• Spend time with your child/ward, do simpleactivities like cooking and making thingstogether. As you talk about what you aredoing, you are helping them to learn newwords.

• Later, when they see words written down,they would have already heard them andknow what they mean.

School‐Home Partnership

• reading aloud to your child/ward, talking about the words and pictures, and sharing ideas about the book;

• reading yourself – children who see adults reading, and enjoying it, are more likely to want to read themselves;

• surrounding your child/ward with books – you do not need hundreds of books at home, but go to the library or bookshop regularly to borrow books, spend time together, browse and make choices. In this way, reading becomes a habit.

Cultivate the love for reading by …

• Reading extensively makes a big difference to children’s educational performance. 

• Children who read regularly and extensively develop a broader vocabulary, widen their general knowledge and have a better understanding of other cultures.

School‐Home Partnership

Role modelling …

• Every time you say something, take anaction or have a reaction to someone orsomething, your child/ward is observingyour behaviour.

• Children who have good, strong models tofollow are more likely to speak better andwrite better. You can role model by speakingand practising positive communication skills.

❒Achieve the ability to count, understanding that:- we count to tell how many there are- the counting words are said in a fixed order

Activities such as matching, sorting, pairing, ordering andpatterning would help your child develop his number sense andbasic number concepts.

Basic pre‐numeracy skills such as matching, sorting and comparing are necessary in providing a good grounding for pupils to begin learning at Primary 1.
