Message from HOD Science & ALP
Mr Jonathan Lo
“I believe Science education is more than acquiring facts — it is about nurturing curiosity and developing the ability to think critically about the world around us. At West View Primary, I seek to provide learning experiences that help students see the relevance of Science in their daily lives and appreciate how it shapes our future.
By engaging in inquiry and applying scientific thinking, students learn to reason with evidence, make informed decisions, and use their knowledge responsibly. My hope is to inspire every child to view Science not just as a subject, but as a way of understanding, questioning, and improving the world we live in.”
Science Curriculum
The spirit of scientific inquiry is established on the following integral domains- (1) Knowledge, Understanding and Application, (2) Skills & (3) Processes and (4) Ethics and Attitudes. Our programmes are carefully designed for deep learning to take place amongst the pupils. Pupils are better able to relate and make connections to their social, personal and naturalistic environment, making learning more meaningful.
By the end of Primary 6 at WVPS, pupils should be able to: ·
use basic scientific terms and concepts to help them understand themselves and the world around them
develop skills, habits of mind and attitudes necessary for scientific inquiry
