A Better Balance between Rigour and Joy• Reduction of assessment load
• Checking for pupils’ learning and progress through various modes: e.g. Pop Quiz, Spelling, Performance Tasks, bite- sized tests (non-weighted)
• More time for pupils to master the fundamentals
• To have a positive start that focuses on curiosity and growth

The STELLAR Vision
Children who
• love reading and
• have a strong foundation in the English Language
![Page 23: P2 PARENT-TEACHER MEETING - MOE · Parents can support their child’s learning by 1. Providing a positive environment. Always acknowledging your child’s effort. 2.

English Curriculum
1. Shared Reading Experiences
Children read storybooks with the teacher and engage in oral discussions with teacher and peers.
2. Shared Writing ExperiencesThe teacher models writing using children’s language. Children engage in writing together and in writing independently.

Books• open up the world for children• help children to think and wonder • increase children’s vocabulary and knowledge
about the world around them• provide good examples for reading and
writing

STELLAR Needs Parents’ Support
• 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.

There will be no examinations for English in Primary 1 .Daily lessons, learning activities and experiences in class will enable teachers to have a holistic understanding of pupils’ progress by 1. observing pupils’ demonstration of positive
learning dispositions.
2. supporting pupils’ acquisition of learning outcomes.

The mathematics curriculum aims to enable our pupils to:
1. Acquire mathematical concepts and skills for everyday use and continuous learning in mathematics;
2. Develop thinking, reasoning, communication, application and metacognitive skills through a mathematical approach to problem-solving;
3. Build confidence and foster interest in mathematics.

We hope that our Primary 1 pupils will experience meaningful and effective Math learning through the various programmes.
Mathematics Programmes @ Jiemin1. Activity Based Lessons (ABL)
In ABL, we provide opportunities for pupils to make use of the manipulatives to develop mathematical concepts andskills progressively from the concrete and pictorial levels tothe abstract level.

2. Factual FluencyPupils practice factual fluency to develop speed andaccuracy in number facts like addition and subtraction within 20. Factual Fluency is carried out through fun card games and online quizzes.
3. Heuristics PackageWe adopt a structured approach in teaching pupils problem solving skills. In Primary 1, pupils are taught to label the part-whole model correctly to solve word problems.

4. Learning Support Programme for Mathematics (LSM)LSM is an early intervention effort aimed at providing additional support to pupils who do not have foundationalnumeracy skills and knowledge to access the Primary 1Math curriculum. Parents will be informed if their child isselected to be in the programme.

5. Math Recess GamesTo motivate pupils to master their basic Mathematics facts through interaction with their peers in a fun and non-threatening environment, reducing the fear of failures and errors.
6. Math Games DayProvide a platform for pupils to play competitively against their classmates. Through games, pupils are motivated to participate and develop positive attitudes towards Mathematics.
