Programme Overview

The Head Start to P3 Science Skills programme aims to help students build a strong foundation by developing essential science skills such as classifying, comparing, interpreting data and experimental design through engaging activities.

Your child should be enrolled in this academic level in 2026.

Programme Focus

Our Head Start to P3 Science Skills programme equips Primary 3 students with essential science skills, such as observing, classifying, comparing, interpreting data and experimental design through engaging activities — making it the perfect head start for those beginning their Science journey.

Course Outline

As students enter Primary 3 and learn Science for the first time, many may struggle with reading graphs, interpreting tables and analysing flowcharts. This workshop will focus on teaching the essential science skills needed to succeed, such as observing, classifying, comparing, communicating and experimental design.

A strong understanding of these skills will boost your child's confidence and enable them to focus on mastering Science content.

This programme features a series of fun-filled activities designed to promote critical thinking, develop essential science skills and sharpen analytical abilities.

These skills will provide a strong foundation and an early advantage as your child embarks on an exciting journey in Science.

Course Highlights

Components covered include:

- Analysing flowcharts, classification charts, tables and graphs
- Experimental design (variables, aims)
- Answering techniques for common free response questions and multiple choice questions

Can my child who is enrolled in the core programme sign up for this programme?

Yes. The materials for this programme are different from those in the core programme. This programme focuses on skills, while the core programme focuses more on introducing content from various topics.

Will there be any homework?

No, there will be no homework. Students will have time to attempt most questions as part of classwork. For any remaining questions, students can try them at home and check their answers against the provided answer keys (refer to Q3).

Will the worksheets be marked?

No, answer keys will be provided at the end of the programme. Teachers will go through the answers in class. Due to the nature of the programme, our teachers will focus more on teaching content, question analysis, and answering methods/techniques. The answer keys are provided to ensure there is a model answer for reference after the programme concludes. This differs from our core programme, where we typically do not provide answer keys.

If I can only make it for 1 day out of the 2 days, can i still attend the session? Are the contents covered related?

Yes, you can still attend the session, as different skills are covered over the 2 days. Students do not need knowledge from the first day for the second day. However, please note that the skills covered in the second session will be more challenging than those in the first.
