Strengthening Foundations at Lower Primary @ Greenwood Primary School: Project DELIGHT

What is Project DELIGHT?

DELIGHT (Discover, Explore, Learn & Investigate in Groups Happily Together)

Our school aims to make learning a DELIGHT-FUL journey through instilling the joy of learning with hands-on and authentic learning experiences.

Our efforts are centered on strengthening the foundation of young learners (lower primary students) by fostering in them a positive attitude towards learning and equipping them with skills to develop into lifelong learners.

Our Beliefs

Every child can learn.
Every child can be inspired to become lifelong learners if they experience the joy of learning.
Every child should be provided with the opportunity to experience different types of learning.

Our areas of focus to strengthen foundations of lower primary students:
Laying the Foundation Well at Primary 1 and Primary 2

Build a strong foundation for lifelong learning, starting from pre-school and transiting to primary 1
Shift the emphasis away from grades to the joy of learning and having an intrinsic motivation

Facilitating a Smooth Transition from Pre-school to Primary School

We help students to familiarise and settle down easily in the new environment through:

creating a vibrant learning environment
orientation programmes for primary 1 students
promoting an intrinsic motivation to learn through a celebration of students’ achievement at the end of Term 1 (Celebrating My Milestones)

Four school scenes: P1 welcome group photo, colorful classroom, and a Celebrating My Milestones award event.

Promote Joy of Learning

Providing opportunities to experience collaborative tasks which are differentiated based on student readiness and interest through inter-disciplinary (English language, mathematics, mother tongue languages, science, art, music, physical education and information communication technology skills) learning centres
Providing authentic learning experiences through learning journeys

Children engage in interdisciplinary learning activities: playing on an interactive floor and sorting colorful shapes at a table.

Developing a Positive Attitude towards Learning

Developing SEL competencies through structured PAL lessons focusing on the reflection process
Developing character through the school-based character education programmes

Reimagining learning space

To promote literacy and learning and enhance accessibility for lower primary students, the school revamped and created a new lower primary library.

“Wonder in the Woods” Library features:

Collaborative Space
Reading Space
Self-expression Space

Beyond serving as a space for exploration and the quenching of curiosity, the library also stands as a haven for contemplation. It provides visitors with an opportunity to pause, reflect, and glean insights from their exploratory journeys and adventures.

TRANSIT classroom for selected students

TRANSIT classroom has been redesigned to provide additional support for selected students. Students learn and build self-management skills and smoothen transition from preschool to primary school.
