1A's walk to the park

P1A had their learning journey at Jelutung Harbour Park last Tuesday, 5th August.
They saw numerous things and learnt how to spell new words too.
Here are some pictures to illustrate their adventure at the park:





Announcing the launch of MOE Stellar Website

The Ministry of Education has launched the new Stellar Website. It was shared during the annual English HOD meeting held on 5th August 2008. I am glad to announce and share the official Stellar Website with the Staff, Pupils and Parents of Endeavour Primary School.
Currently, there are a lot of resources for parents and students(P2) especially. Some of the pages like the Teachers' Resource Pages are still under construction.
I will add this website to the links in our Stellar Blog!
Regards, Mrs Vijaya Fernandez
Subject-Head for English Language

Our next Stellar Activity - A Walk to the Park

Hi all,
In line with the Big Book - Shark In A Park, our Stellar team decided to visit the Jelutong Harbour Park for their MLEA experience. Some of the P1 classes have taken a walk there and have completed their Class Dictated Writing! Pupils completed a set of activity worksheets as well. They have given feedback that they had enjoyed themselves and have learnt many vocabulary words related to the theme. Here are some photos of P1E!!!

SEEDBUZZ@EDP

On 30th July, the Seedbuzz visited our school. The teachers boarded the SEEDBUZZ, which consists of presentations of various lessons and programmes planned by other schools. Thus, we had the golden opportunity to learn about how STELLAR and the SEED programmes are being conducted in other schools as well. This served as a great learning platform for all teachers. It was indeed an enriching experience for us!!






















Extra Help for Weaker Pupils





Our Stellar teachers have also identified our weaker lot and have planned for extra remediation. These lessons take place on Mondays from 1.30p.m. to 2.30p.m. The grammar and vocabulary components taught in the Stellar books are reinforced here. The class size of about 6-8 pupils allows the teachers to carefully monitor the progress of each pupil.

EDP Open House

We had our Open House last Saturday. The turnout was great. EDP had the opportunity to showcase our Stellar programme and the other school programmes to many parents. Parents received handouts from us. They were exposed to the types of books that are being used for Stellar, the worksheets and other activities(namely the learning centres) taking place in the class. We have received positive feedback from our guests. We would like to thank all guests who had attended our Open House on 19th July 2008.
