P2 CURRICULUM MATTERS
English Curriculum
STELLAR: Strategies for English Language Learning
and Reading
A new English Language Curriculum for Primary Schools in Singapore
Children who Love reading and Have a strong foundation in the
English Language
The STELLAR Vision
What is a STELLAR lesson like?
1.Shared Reading Experiences
3. Language Use Activities in Learning Centres
Children read storybook with the teacher and engage in oral
discussions with teacher and peers.
The teacher prepares mini lessons based on specific needs of children to prepare them for reading & writing activities; e.g. grammar, vocabulary, word recognition,
decoding skills, spelling.
The teacher models writing using children’s language. Children engage in writing
together and in writing independently.
2.Shared Writing Experiences
Books open up the world for children help children think and wonder increase children’s vocabulary and
knowledge about the world around them
provide good examples for reading and writing
Why Books?
More writing activities
Expand on Vocabulary
Comprehension skills
P2 STELLAR
Role models – read and write notes and messages in front of your child.
Understanding – English language learning requires frequent exposure to listening, speaking, reading and writing opportunities and activities rather than use of worksheets alone.
STELLAR Needs Parents’ Support
Mathematics Curriculum
The new syllabus was introduced to P1 in 2013.
Year-by-year Implementation of New Maths Syllabus2013 2014 2015 2016 201

)
Focus more on developing skills and competencies to make pupils a better 21st century learner.
Students engage in activities to explore and learn mathematical concepts and skills, individually or in groups.
They use manipulatives or other resources to construct meanings and understandings. From concrete manipulatives and experiences, students are guided to uncover abstract mathematical concepts or results.
Textbooks and Workbooks – My Pals are Here (3rd Edition)
New Maths Syllabus
Show interest in your child’s progress in Mathematics and be involved as a parent.
Relate Mathematics to real-life situations by engaging your child in meaningful and fun activities.
Teach concepts using things around us. Compare numbers, get your child to tell
you which is greater / smaller.
How Parents Can Help
Encourage your child to learn spelling of number words eg. spell the numbers from zero to one thousand.
Ensure that your child memorises multiplication tables (esp 2, 3, 4, 5 & 10)
Practise, Practise & Practise.
