🌟 Building Knowledge, Making Connections at CCKSS! 🌟
CCKSS was delighted to host the Knowledge Building Networked Learning Community (NLC) event, bringing educators, specialists and students together to exchange ideas, explore possibilities and experience how learning can be made deeper, more connected and meaningful.
The session featured insightful presentations by our Lead Teacher, Mr Melvin Chan, and Mr Andy Ng, Teaching Fellow from the National Institute of Education (NIE), Centre for Research in Pedagogy and Practice (CRPP), who shared perspectives on Knowledge Building and how students can be empowered to develop ideas collaboratively and take greater ownership of their learning.
🎤 A highlight of the event was our Sec 3 CCKSiam presenters, who confidently took centre stage to showcase their Knowledge Building project, The Singapore Times, centred on the theme of transport. Participants also got a sneak peek at Historical Investigation projects from our Sec 2 CCKSians on Singapore's campaigns!
Rather than simply presenting information, our students brought participants on an engaging journey through transport from multiple perspectives. 🚆🚌🚲 They explored the psychology behind transportation choices, examined the profitability and economics of transport, considered issues surrounding transport safety, and presented a creative visual journey following a boy named Jayden as he navigated Singapore's transport landscape.
Participants got a unique hands-on demonstration on the issue of waste and the cleaning of the Singapore River, using sieves to scoop litter from a basin — a simple but memorable activity that brought historical and environmental learning to life.
👏 We are especially proud of our CCKSians for their articulate and confident presentations, their creativity in designing hands-on learning experiences, and their ability to examine one theme through different disciplines and perspectives.
The event was a wonderful reflection of what Knowledge Building can look like in action — students asking questions, connecting ideas, collaborating with one another and transforming knowledge into something they can confidently share with others.
At CCKSS, we believe that learning goes beyond finding the “right answer”. It is about nurturing curious minds who are willing to question, explore, connect and build new knowledge together.
A big thank you to our educators, student presenters and participants for making the Knowledge Building NLC a meaningful celebration of learning! 💡✨
