Post-PSLE Bridging Class
As your child nears the end of the PSLE journey, we recognise the importance of a smooth transition to Secondary One.
To help your child prepare for the complex language requirements of English in secondary school, we are offering a three-day Bridging Programme focused on essential English and Language Arts skills. Our experienced teacher will guide students through the differences in secondary English instruction and help identify knowledge gaps.
We’ve designed two engaging and insightful courses to set your child up for success in Secondary One.
Secondary 1 English Jumpstart
This three-day programme helps students adapt to the higher demands of Secondary English by focusing on:
Composition
Personal recount compositions require students to describe a significant event and include thoughtful reflection. They should be descriptive and analyse the event to extract key themes and lessons.
Summary Writing
Our expert teacher will guide students in summarising a factual text, helping them identify key points and write concise summaries to achieve full marks.
Comprehension
Our teachers will introduce narrative and non-narrative text types to the students. We’ll focus on questions requiring students to respond to language use. They’ll need to learn to read between the lines, identify vocabulary in context, assess language use for impact, and more.
Dates: 2nd, 3rd and 4th Dec 2024
Time: 10 am to 12 pm
