Think Music, Think Pat’s

Think Music, Think Pat’s

The vibrant and holistic music programme is conceptualised by in-house music specialists to bring together a wide genre of music to engage children in listening, moving, singing, and playing with a variety of percussion instruments, as well as begin their own exploration of music, communicating the process, and performing improvisation. Children are also encouraged to explore simple composition with some guidance.

Tinkering Station (STEM)

Tinkering Station (STEM)

By exposing children to various experiments and simple investigations that help them discover how things work around them, we can nurture creativity, problem-solving skills, logical reasoning, and critical thinking skills in young children. Born into a world of intelligent devices, the children of today will also be introduced to the concept of coding to better understand the world around them.

Language & Literacy

Language & Literacy

Built upon the five components of achieving success in reading and writing — Alphabetic Code, Vocabulary, High Frequency Words, Fluency, and Comprehension — our Language & Literacy Outcomes set progressive learning goals for different age groups. At this stage, children are introduced to Creative Writing to help them understand basic writing conventions.

Author Study Programme

Author Study Programme

A reading and writing programme that gives aspiring young writers the opportunity to delve deeply into the life and work of renowned authors. Children develop their reading, writing, research, and critical thinking skills as they learn about the author’s writing style in terms of language choice and themes. They then learn to draw connections to their writing style, and create meaningful works of their own such as letters, posters, journals, speech bubbles, notices, and stories.

Bilingual Programmes

Bilingual Programmes

For much of the classes taught in-house, children get to learn different subjects in a bilingual environment where co-partnering of English and Mandarin language teachers help reinforce language acquisition. Both the English and Mandarin teachers co-own the holistic development of children under their care and co-create the teaching plan together to incorporate and deliver themes, subjects, and topics in a cohesive and immersive bilingual environment. This arrangement surrounds children with equal amount of exposure to English and Mandarin, facilitating language acquisition at a very young age as they are encouraged to interact within context throughout the day.

K2 events (preparation for P1)

K2 events (preparation for P1)

During their last year, our Pat’s team work together to prepare our K2 students for transition to P1. Over a span of 10 weeks, our children are given a taste of primary school education. This includes a physical or virtual tour around a primary school, learning about money and time concepts and key numeracy concepts. Children are also exposed to confidence building events such as Readers Theatre and Confidence Camp. The preparation period culminates in a tear and fun-filled graduation ceremony and uniform party that celebrates our children’s education at PSH.
