Enhancing Logical Reasoning and Academic Excellence

At this pivotal stage to upper primary, your child develops vital skills for life and has moments to shine academically. Our Primary 4 Programmes hones logical reasoning, academic writing and teamwork through debates and projects, equipping your child for success inside and outside the classroom.

English:

Lesson Duration: 2 hours

Class Size: 10 - 15 students

Aligned with CEFR A2–B1 standards, our Primary 4 English Programme sharpens students' academic and communication skills as they approach upper primary. Learners will develop strong academic writing abilities, logical reasoning and interdisciplinary language skills. Through project-based learning and debate exercises, students learn to articulate opinions, support arguments and communicate confidently in group settings. This prepares them for exams and real-world discussions alike.

Academic Writing:

—   Write clear, structured paragraphs and short essays on familiar topics.
—   Organise ideas logically using linking words (firstly, however, finally).
—   Begin writing argumentative pieces, stating opinions with simple supporting reasons.

Logical Reasoning & Expression:

—   Use cause-effect structures (because, so, therefore).
—   Develop well-supported and coherent viewpoints in written and oral forms.
—   Interpret and summarise information from texts and discussions.

Interdisciplinary Language Application:

—   Apply English comprehension and writing skills to other subjects such as Science (explanation writing and data interpretation) and Social Studies (informational texts and presentations).
—   Use context clues to infer meaning in unfamiliar subject-specific vocabulary.

Debate Skills:

—   Learn to express opinions clearly in structured debates.
—   Present supporting and opposing arguments effectively with reasons and examples.

Project-Based Learning:

—   Engage in collaborative presentations and group discussions.
—   Research simple topics, organise information and deliver presentations.
—   Engage in reflection and peer feedback to improve speaking and writing skills.

Mathematics:

Lesson Duration: 2 hours

Class Size: 10 - 15 students

Our Primary 4 Mathematics Programme guides students through a critical transition towards abstract reasoning and integrated problem-solving. With a strong focus on number theory, geometry and multi-step application problems, students will learn to analyse, simplify and solve complex problems across different mathematical topics. This prepares them for upper primary challenges and PSLE readiness.

Fraction Operations:

—   Master multiplication and division of fractions.
—   Convert between improper fractions and mixed numbers confidently.

Number Theory Essentials:

—   Identify factors, multiples, prime and composite numbers.
—   Apply number relationships in problem-solving.

Angle Measurement and Geometry:

—   Measure, calculate and compare angles in various shapes.
—   Work with rectangles, squares and compound figures for perimeter and area.
—   Strengthen spatial reasoning through geometry challenges.

Unit Conversion and Data Handling:

—   Convert measurements involving length, mass and volume, including with fractions.
—   Read, interpret and create line graphs and frequency charts.

Application-Based Problem Solving:

—   Tackle complex, multi-step word problems using strategies like assumption method, elimination thinking, cyclical pattern recognition and pursuit problems, etc.
—   Strengthen reasoning through reverse thinking and comparison strategies.

Transitional Abstract Reasoning Skills:

—   Develop recursive reasoning and abstraction skills.
—   Practise decomposing complex problems into manageable parts for easier analysis.
—   Encourage creative and logical thinking when approaching unfamiliar problem types.

Science:

Lesson Duration: 2 hours

Class Size: 10 - 15 students

Our Primary 4 Science Programme deepens students' understanding of key scientific principles while nurturing curiosity, inquiry skills and logical reasoning. Students will learn through hands-on experiments, collaborative discussions and guided investigations, building confidence in applying scientific concepts to everyday situations. The curriculum aims to prepare them for upper primary science topics and examinations.

Properties and States of Matter:

—   Understand the three states of matter: solid, liquid and gas.
—   Explore changes in states through real-life examples and simple experiments.

Human Body Systems:

—   Identify the parts and functions of the human digestive system.
—   Gain an overview of major body systems and their roles in daily life.

Plant Systems:

Recognise key parts of a plant and their functions in growth, reproduction and survival. Conduct simple experiments to observe plant responses to different conditions.

Foundations in Scientific Inquiry:

—   Develop skills in observation, classification and data collection.
—   Practise forming hypotheses and making predictions based on observations.

Hands-On Investigations:

—   Carry out structured experiments to test ideas and verify concepts.
—   Record, analyse and communicate findings clearly using appropriate scientific vocabulary.

Critical Thinking and Application:

—   Encourage questioning and reasoning through open-ended tasks and problem-solving activities.
—   Apply concepts learned to real-world scenarios and environmental contexts.
