Assessment Framework for Primary 2 English Tuition
- Application of Writing Techniques
Written exercises in which children demonstrate proficiency in application of writing techniques (e.g., character descriptions and story structure) are conducted throughout the term. Compositions are assessed using rubrics aligned with local school requirements. - Application of Grammar Concepts
Written tasks that require children to recall and apply their understanding of grammar concepts taught in the prior weeks and for teachers to track children’s mastery of the concepts are conducted weekly. Examples of tasks include multiple-choice questions, sentence construction or cloze passages. - Oral Communication
Children are evaluated on their clarity of expression and organisation of ideas once a term using rubrics aligned with local school requirements. - Language Review
Children recall and apply what they have learnt by completing a review paper comprising various language tasks such as multiple-choice questions, sentence synthesis, cloze passages and comprehension open-ended exercises. Teachers use the performance of the children in each section of the paper to determine areas of improvement for each child.
At the end of each term, learning snapshots are also distributed to students and parents on the following:
General Behaviour, Attitudes and Dispositions
- Children’s traits are evaluated based on general classroom observations throughout the term. Children are assessed to be either developing, proficient or exceptional in the various areas.
Proficiency in Reading, Writing and Speaking
- Children’s mastery of reading, writing and speaking skills based on performance in classroom activities and written tasks are evaluated and recorded. Children are assessed to be either developing, proficient or exceptional in the various areas such as application of answering techniques, accuracy of sentences and originality of ideas, as well as confidence and fluency in expression of personal thoughts and opinions.
Understanding Maths In The World
Weekly investigative problems help your child to see how maths applies in real-world situations and are used to familiarise your child with problem-solving heuristics.
Engaging In Hands-On Learning
Lessons use manipulatives, interactive activities and class projects to give students a fun learning experience.
Using Heuristics
