Fun Science@ Recess

Understanding that children are naturally curious, we strive to offer them hands-on learning opportunities in Science. The remarkable participation during Fun Science@Recess has clearly ignited a deep curiosity and a strong desire among students to explore Science beyond the classroom.

During the paper chromatography activity, students uncovered the fascinating fact that black ink is composed of different coloured inks. They thoroughly enjoyed the process and proudly took home the beautiful, multi-coloured flowers they created.

During the dancing raisins activity, students were amazed that the carbon dioxide gas present in soda water can cause raisins to move up and down in the solution.

This activity was made possible with the support of our parent volunteers, science teachers, and E2K students. Numerous questions were posted on the whiteboard, demonstrating that our students are becoming reflective inquirers.

STEM Challenge

To ignite our students’ curiosity and unleash their creativity, the Science Department leveraged on STEM Playground Challenge organised by Curriculum Planning & Development Division, Science Centre and The James Dyson Foundation. Through this STEM challenge, we hope to provide an opportunity for our students to showcase their knowledge, skills and talents in a fun and engaging way and to develop a deeper appreciation for the sciences and technology.

Our students were very innovative and displayed their creativity by using various recycled materials to make their prototypes. The teachers were very heartened and inspired by all the submissions via the Padlet in the Student Learning Space.

E2K Science

The E2K Science programme is part of the school’s enrichment programme for upper primary students who demonstrate an interest and ability in Science.

The programme aims to develop scientific inquiry process skills among students who have an aptitude in Science, as well as nurture other important 21st century competencies such as resilience and resourcefulness, critical and inventive thinking, and effective communication skills.

Students learn Science by going through the same process that scientists use to generate knowledge in the subject. Just as scientists make mistakes in the real world, students are given a safe space to make mistakes in E2K while their teachers help them to learn from the mistakes. Through collaborative learning and guidance provided by the teachers, students practise scientific thinking and reasoning, develop confidence and independence in carrying out scientific inquiry as well as scientific habits, attitudes and dispositions.
