Primary 6
Discover the memorable experiences that mark their final year at Teck Whye Primary School, from a trip to Malacca and bowling to cultural museum visits and Graduation Day.
Primary 6 Level Experience
Mother Tongue Fortnight
To promote a greater appreciation of the various cultures in Singapore, P6 students will take part in the Mother Tongue Fortnight. The students will gain a deeper appreciation of their own Mother Tongue through the various cultural activities carried out during the two days.
Social Studies Museum-Based Learning
To encourage students to understand Asia through Singapore, the Primary 6 students will be going to the Asian Civilisations Museum. Students will learn more about the 9th century with the Tang Shipwreck collection, and continue through displays of Asian export art – revealing the history of Asian port cities and globalisation, long before the term was coined.
Sports Education Programme
To encourage students to stay active and healthy, students at Teck Whye are taught various sports. As part of the Children’s Day celebration, all Primary 6 students will learn the proper techniques of bowling taught by certified coaches as part of the Sports Education Programme. Through bowling, students will develop crucial hand-eye coordination and depth perception.
P6 Internationalisation Trip
Becoming an adaptive individual is learnt by the Primary 6 students when they embark on their P6 Internationalisation Trip to Malacca, Malaysia. Every student is given the opportunity to go for the trip, which aims to build resilience and independence in the child wherever they are. Such trips help them develop new skills, make valuable connections, and gain a better understanding of their counterparts in another country.
P6 Graduation Day
The students’ TWPS journey is brought to a closure with the P6 Graduation Day. During this celebration, students put up performances which showcase their talents and at the same time, allow the students to reminisce about their time in Teck Whye Primary School before they move on to their next stage in life. The day will start with students learning how to build their own terrarium - a self-sustaining ecosystem that relies on natural cycles like photosynthesis and water recycling to thrive without external resources. It will end with the Award Ceremony followed by class performances. The day is more meaningful as parents are invited to join in the celebration in the hall.
