Programme Highlights

 



 

English


 


 

This programme aims to give Primary 6 students an introduction to parts of the Secondary school English paper and to Literature, a new subject. This is an ideal programme to give them an edge over their peers as they head into Secondary 1. 

As a bonus, students will be introduced to ways of tackling the various parts of the paper and questions, through TLL’s in-house methods.

Programme Highlights

Your child will be exposed to new parts and questions of the Secondary English paper like summary writing and personal expository essays. They will also be introduced to higher level demands of the comprehension paper with only open-ended questions. 

 

Components Covered

  • Summary Writing 
  • Composition Writing: Introduction to Personal Expository 
  • Comprehension 


 


 

Mathematics


 


 

This programme develops students’ foundation of secondary mathematics. As the shift from primary to secondary mathematics is huge, we want to buffer the jump for students by introducing them to key topics and concepts in the secondary level.

With a strong focus on fundamental techniques, higher-order thinking and mathematical principles, we provide materials that are specially curated to give students a competitive edge when they enter secondary school. 

 

Programme Highlights

The real number system and the basics of arithmetic are introduced, along with more advanced and challenging mathematical concepts. Examples of topics covered include factors and multiples, integers, rational numbers, percentage, statistics, algebra and solving algebraic equations. 

Components Covered

  • Number System 
  • Estimation and Approximation
  • Fundamental Algebra


 

Science


 

This programme develops students’ scientific knowledge and understanding, as well as the skills and dispositions needed for secondary science. Students will gain exposure to experiment methods and be introduced to the disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics. 

By exposing the students to real-life applications, this programme aims to introduce secondary science as a fun and exciting subject, and inspire students to pursue science at a higher level. 

 

Programme Highlights

In class, students will be exposed to the importance of science in various fields. They will also learn about animal nutrition by watching a frog dissection, learn the best methods of separation techniques given different conditions, and learn how ships are designed to support maximum weight based on the concepts of mass, weight and density.

Components Covered

  • Incredible Minds and Incredulous Science 
  • Separation Techniques 
  • Mass, Weight and Density 
  • Animal Nutrition 
  • Chemical Changes
