Programme Overview

For Ages 7 to 9

Give your child a technological edge.

We believe in engaging children to be thinkers and creators through hands-on and project-based learning. Coding is increasingly recognised as an essential skill for everyone – not just those who aspire to be programmers and computer scientists.

This is because it teaches computational thinking, which knows no age limit. Computational thinking is about solving problems efficiently by breaking them down into more manageable parts. It also includes learning abstraction, seeing the bigger picture from minute details.

Course Outline

We have designed a curriculum that introduces computational thinking at an age-appropriate level. After mastering the basics of Scratch, we encourage our students to explore the limits of their imagination. They’ll be tasked with their first-ever hackathon, where they have to put together characters and functions to create games, stories or animations of their choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

About P101 Scratch 1

What is your average class size?

Our classes have a 1:8 teacher to student ratio. We keep our classes small so that every student benefits from maximum personalised attention.

What do students need to bring to class?

All learning materials and equipment will be provided. Students are encouraged to bring their own stationery, a water bottle and a jacket in case the classroom gets cold.

What if a student misses a class? Is there a class replacement policy?

Unless the absence is due to medical reasons, an email notification to specialprogrammes@thelearninglab.com.sg
is required at least one week in advance for replacement arrangements to be made.

We strongly recommend attending a physical replacement class within the same week (Thursdays at United Square or Fridays at Seletar Mall). If this is not possible, students may attend an online replacement class to make up for the missed lesson.

Are there any pre-requisites for the coding classes?

Yes. Pre-requisites vary depending on the programme. Please check the requirements carefully before signing up.

What if a student has attended coding classes previously? Can he or she still enrol?

The student may need to complete a placement test as we will need to assess his or her foundation level, as the curriculum offered by other providers may be different. We want to ensure that every student who comes to our class benefits and learns. Hence, it is vital that your child is enrolled in the right course to provide him or her with the right level of challenge.

What if my child has completed P101 or P205 previously? Can he or she still sign up for the full term?

We recommend enrolling mid-term and signing up for P102 or P206 respectively.
