MT Thinking Curriculum |
P1 to P6 |
Mother Tongue teachers infuse Thinking Routines and Paul’s Wheels of Reasoning - Elements of Thought and Intellectual Standards in their lessons to guide students to construct, interpret and evaluate knowledge from different perspectives. By creating such active learning situations in our classrooms, students feel motivated to learn, take greater ownership for their learning and become better learners. With such a curriculum, students develop habits of mind with respect to learning that serve them well both in school and in the real world. |
Mother Tongue Support Programme (MTSP) |
P3 & P4 |
A customised programme to support students in the learning of MTL where customised learning materials are used to create an immersive language environment to enable students to learn Mother Tongue with confidence and joy. |
