The IB PYP allows children to use voice and choice throughout their educational experience, ensuring that they receive the support and guidance they need to thrive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For more, have a read through the following blogs on about primary school at OWIS:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/owis.org\/sg\/blog\/fostering-self-confidence-in-the-ib-pyp-classroom\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fostering Self-Confidence in the IB PYP Classroom<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Defined as the ability to believe in and trust oneself, self-confidence is critical for young learners to develop. While some children are born with a natural sense of confidence and, subsequently, resilience, others need to have this complex trait nurtured and developed throughout their formative years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Recognising the vital role that self-confidence plays in the overall growth, development and success of a child, we actively work to nurture this trait in our IB PYP classrooms. Our teachers rely on four distinct strategies to embolden our young learners in primary school with an unmatched sense of self-confidence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The strategies that we use to foster self-confidence in our primary school students include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Recognising a child&#8217;s strengths and focusing on those instead of their weaknesses.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Teaching children to set attainable goals so they can enjoy the thrill of success.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rewarding the effort that a child puts into a task, rather than the result. Children are recognised when they grow and improve, not just when they succeed.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fostering an inclusive environment where all children feel represented and acknowledged.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">By developing and nurturing self-confidence in our youngest learners, we encourage them to take risks, explore their ideas, ask questions and be resilient in the face of failure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/owis.org\/sg\/blog\/how-to-build-better-listening-habits-in-young-learners\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How to Build Better Listening Habits in Young Learners<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Children just beginning primary school are starting to understand the norms expected in classroom life, including learning how to listen. However, listening is about more than simply being quiet, paying attention and hearing what the teacher says to the class. Listening is an active process, and children with good listening habits are more likely to retain new information long-term.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">By recognising the importance of building better listening habits in young learners, we help our primary school students become more successful in the classroom. In addition, by working with children on their listening habits, we help them become more confident communicators, which is a skill that will benefit them both inside and outside the classroom.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Five of the strategies that our teachers rely on to build better listening habits in our primary school students include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Narrating stories for children in a way that is interactive and enjoyable.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Holding conversations with children to engage them and show them the power of active listening. This strategy also helps develop greater trust between the child and their teacher.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Prioritising hands-on activities in the classroom, because children are more apt to pay attention to the instructions for an activity they are excited about.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Modelling good listening behaviour by making eye contact with students when they are talking, giving them their undivided attention and responding with thoughtful questions to continue the conversation.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Providing children with opportunities to make decisions, highlighting the importance of voice and choice within the IB PYP.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/owis.org\/sg\/blog\/how-we-build-public-speaking-skills-in-our-primary-students\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">OWIS Teachers Explain: How We Build Public Speaking Skills in Our Primary Students<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Public speaking is considered one of the most daunting and intimidating activities \u2014 for many, it&#8217;s their most significant fear. However, public speaking is a critical skill necessary for success in a global environment, which is why we work to introduce our primary school students to public speaking during their formative years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As part of our student-centric approach to education, and our commitment to the IB PYP curriculum, we frequently provide students with opportunities to present information to their peers. By giving them a chance to stand up and face their fears, they quickly become more comfortable with public speaking and are soon confident in their role as a public speaker.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our teachers use a variety of techniques and tactics to build public speaking skills in our students, such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Encouraging students to share their ideas and ask questions in the classroom setting to build up their confidence in front of their peers.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Asking students to write persuasive essays about a product or service they enjoy.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Reminding students that public speaking is about more than just reading from a script \u2014 it&#8217;s about eye contact, voice level and inflexion.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Teaching students about the importance of preparation in public speaking, and showing them that preparation pays off when presenting material to their classmates.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In addition to using these strategies, our teachers model effective public speaking skills daily, showcasing the importance of speaking to a group in a calm, confident and self-assured manner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/owis.org\/sg\/blog\/how-to-develop-interpersonal-skills-in-students\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How to Develop Interpersonal Skills in Students<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Children need to build and develop study skills throughout the primary years, as these skills provide the foundation for academic success in secondary school and beyond. However, it&#8217;s also a critical period of development in their young lives, and they must have an opportunity to develop interpersonal skills as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Interpersonal skills are required to form positive, healthy and lasting relationships with others. They are less concrete than some of the academic skills that traditional educators focus on, but they play a pivotal role in a holistic learning environment. At OWIS Singapore, we believe that interpersonal skills are equally as important as academic and study skills.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some of the most important interpersonal skills in students include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Communication<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Negotiation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Empathy<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Listening<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Conflict Resolution<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Collaboration<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We actively develop these interpersonal skills in our students through our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/owis.org\/sg\/nanyang\/pastoral-care\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pastoral Care Programme<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, which aims to nurture positivity in our students and promote their overall well-being. Our Pastoral Care Programme is a comprehensive wellness initiative that promotes mindfulness, supports the physical health and well-being of students, models positive behaviour and supports restorative practices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At the heart of our initiative to develop interpersonal skills is the emphasis on developing a growth mindset. By helping children understand that they can and will make mistakes \u2014 and that those mistakes are an opportunity for growth \u2014 we support the organic development of the most critical interpersonal skills.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/owis.org\/sg\/blog\/how-we-teach-research-skills-to-primary-students-at-owis\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How We Teach Research Skills to Primary Students at OWIS<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most people think of research skills as an important part of the secondary school experience or even collegiate experience. At OWIS Singapore, however, we begin introducing the concept of research skills to our young learners between the ages of 7 and 11. By teaching research skills to our primary school students at OWIS, we give them an advantage when they get to secondary school. They are already familiar with the concept of conducting research, and they know which sources will provide them with the information and data they need to complete their project.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The research skills that we focus on throughout the primary years at OWIS include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Investigation \u2014 We encourage students to use reliable sources to investigate topics of their choosing. By giving them a voice in their topic, they are likely to be more interested, curious and motivated to complete their research.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Veracity \u2014 We begin building digital literacy skills in our youngest students by helping them learn more about which sources are reputable and which are not.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Analysis \u2014 Rather than having students uncover facts and reiterate that information, we encourage them to take an analytical look at the data to come up with a more conceptual understanding of their topic.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Through ongoing practice, and by allowing children to research topics that interest them, we transform our youngest learners into budding researchers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These blogs about <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/visit.owis.org\/primary-school\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">primary school at OWIS<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> showcase the breadth and depth of this programme, which is designed with young learners between the ages of 7 and 11 in mind. By providing students with an engaging, discussion-based education in a holistic learning environment, we give them the best start on their educational journey. From there, they can continue into secondary school, where they will start to prepare for life beyond the classroom.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For more information about primary school at OWIS Singapore, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/owis.org\/sg\/contact-us\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">contact us today<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">(OWIS Nanyang is accredited for the IB PYP, IB DP and the Cambridge IGCSE.
