What if one

part of the

system fails?

PRIMARY 3 – Science Systems as a Whole

Pupils learn through experiential learning about the

fundamentals of the VEX IQ robotics system. They also

construct robots, as well as perform simple troubleshooting

tasks.

Pupils relate their experience to

scientific concepts of parts of a

system, functions of a part and

systems working as a whole.

PRIMARY 4 – Mathematics Measurement & Angles

With further understanding of how robots function, pupils

learn to use MODKIT, a graphical programming software to

program their robots to perform tasks that require them to

apply mathematical concepts such as Measurement and

Angles.

PRIMARY 5 – Science Electrical Systems

Pupils are exposed to another range of

the VEX robotics system, VEX EDR,

where they will be involved in

constructing a more complex clawbot. In

the process, pupils learn about electric

circuit and how electricity flows in the

robot, enabling it to function.

Pupils program their robots with easyC,

a C-based programming language

platform.

Pupil Attendance During Term Time

Frequent and/or prolonged absence from school without valid reason will impact pupil’s conduct and eligibility for school-based awards.

eg : EAGLES Awards

Parents are requested not to take children out of school immediately after school exam

- conflict with values-based teaching

- wrong messaging to children
