Our Primary Creative Writing Programme will transform our students into A* virtuoso writers, where the pen becomes mightier than the sword. Effective guidance will be provided to students at different stages to harness their writing potential to suit different themes and contexts.

At primary 1 and 2, students are developing basic skills in reading and writing. In order to help them gain confidence in acquiring these skills, our Budding Writer programme focuses on helping students build a strong foundation in writing clearly and accurately.
Students will learn to construct clear and grammatically-correct sentences, and generate interesting and authentic content through lively class discussions. They will also acquire Mind-Stretching vocabulary phrases, and learn to use relevant vocabulary to express ideas accurately. To reinforce learning, students will be provided model compositions to model after.
At primary 3 and 4, students are beginning to find a voice in their writing. They are also more eager to try new skills and techniques to make their writing more interesting. Our A* Writing Lab programme encourages students to move out of their comfort zone and experiment with writing creatively and well.
Students will practise applying writing skills and techniques effectively to write an interesting and compelling composition. They will learn how to edit their writing for clarity, effectiveness and interest value, brainstorm good and relevant ideas that address specific task requirements, and expand their repertoire of Mind-Stretching vocabulary to bring their writing to the next level.
At primary 5 and 6, students want to be equipped with skills that they can confidently apply in order to score in writing assessments and in the PSLE. They are passionate about engaging the readers and are ready to sharpen their swords to tackle various writing prompts.
Our PSLE A* Writer Programme is designed to give students an unfair advantage in writing and maximise their chances of scoring AL1-2 in the PSLE for their composition exams. We will consolidate the learning of various writing skills and techniques, so that students may apply this masterfully in a variety of writing tasks. Students will set clear writing goals and objectives to achieve specific purposes and engage readers, and analyse and model after best-in-class writing skills and techniques in Mind-Stretching A* model compositions.
Mind Stretcher Classes cater and stretch the potential of all students, regardless of whether they are high achievers, achievers or those students who are building their foundation.
