Each September, we welcome a new cohort of young writers to Academia\u2019s refined and academically rigorous short-format writing programmes. The Academia September Holiday Programme 2025 offers a suite of focused, 3-day writing symposiums for Primary 1 to Primary 6 students, specially designed to target high-impact areas of the MOE English syllabus.<\/span><\/p>\n These are not your average enrichment classes. They are academic writing intensives, developed and fine-tuned over more than a decade to reflect the evolving demands of PSLE English composition, global literacy benchmarks, and the individual learning progress of our students.<\/span><\/p>\n Each session is calibrated to deliver clarity, structure, and measurable writing confidence \u2014 especially in the area many students struggle with: narrative and story-writing. Whether your child needs help organising ideas, writing more compelling openings, or improving their plot structure, this is a unique opportunity to experience one of Singapore\u2019s most refined English writing programmes for primary school students.<\/span><\/p>\n For younger learners, writing can be daunting. This foundational module builds confidence and structure through timeless stories that every child knows.<\/span><\/p>\n Over three mornings, students will explore the core elements of a compelling narrative: character, setting, conflict, climax, and resolution. With classic fairy tales as scaffolding, they will learn how to retell, adapt, and eventually create their own stories \u2014 with attention to flow, sequence, and cause-effect reasoning.<\/span><\/p>\n By the end of the programme, your child won\u2019t just be writing longer stories \u2014 they\u2019ll be writing better ones. With a firm grasp of structure and a new toolbox of techniques, they\u2019ll learn how to shape clear beginnings, logical middles, and satisfying endings.<\/span><\/p>\n For P1 and P2 students Stories are never just stories. They are mirrors of who we are \u2014 and who we aspire to be. This thoughtful workshop teaches students how to weave virtues such as compassion, integrity, and kindness into their writing.<\/span><\/p>\n Drawing from fables, contemporary tales, and real-world scenarios, students will practise writing about dilemmas and choices, understanding that character development is as important as plot progression.<\/span><\/p>\n By the end of the module, students will have authored three polished stories, each one showcasing a nuanced grasp of both moral tension and narrative flow.<\/span><\/p>\n For P3 and P4 students PSLE composition success is never just about writing well. It\u2019s about writing smart \u2014 choosing the right storyline, applying the right techniques, and responding to prompts with structure and flair.<\/span><\/p>\n This upper-primary intensive explores three narrative blueprints that have proven successful in national exams. Students will learn how to introduce characters with purpose, structure rising tension, and conclude meaningfully. Techniques include scene-building, emotional description, dialogue pacing, and vocabulary elevation.<\/span><\/p>\n Expect rigorous feedback, real-time editing, and targeted practice that simulates PSLE conditions. This workshop is ideal for students who want to gain strategic insight \u2014 and a confidence boost \u2014 as they approach the national exams.<\/span><\/p>\n For P5 and P6 students All existing Academia students are granted an exclusive 20% discount to any English workshop fees listed above, before GST. Friends of Academia students will also be granted this discount if they attend the workshop together.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Immerse yourself in the A-class experience this holiday.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Each September, we welcome a new cohort of young writers to Academia\u2019s refined and academically rigorous short-format writing programmes.
