Shaping Possibilities Through Interdisciplinary Learning Journeys
By the FPAM Academic Teams
SHAPING POSSIBILITIES THROUGH INTERDISCIPLINARY LEARNING JOURNEYS
In line with this year’ s school-wide theme of“ Shaping Possibilities Together”, our Year 1 and 2 students embarked on a series of thoughtfully curated interdisciplinary learning journeys that extend learning far beyond the classroom. These learning journeys reflect our school’ s commitment to designing experiences that empower students to understand and engage with Singapore’ s vision of sustainability.
Through these real-world learning experiences, our students are not just acquiring knowledge- they are developing a sense of place, identity and responsibility as young citizens of Singapore.
Artefactually Speaking: Exploring History at the National Museum of Singapore
The first learning journey for Year 2 students took them to the National Museum of Singapore to explore the“ Artefactually Speaking” exhibition, a 700-year overview of Singapore’ s history. Developed with support from the Ministry of Education, the artefact-based programme placed students at the heart of historical inquiry.
In small groups, students used a specially designed passport activity booklet to uncover the stories behind key artefacts. Guided by Museum Educators, they deepened their understanding by asking questions and making connections between people, objects, and events that shaped Singapore’ s development.
Jointly curated by the History and Civic and Citizenship Education( CCE) teams, the experience blended historical learning with civic awareness. By exploring how people lived, traded, and built communities in the past, students gained a deeper appreciation of Singapore’ s social and cultural heritage, and how these values can be preserved as they contribute to shaping a shared future.
