BLISS is a literature appreciation programme for our pupils. Our pupils are introduced and required to practise Socratic Questioning and Philosophy for Children to develop 21st century skills such as inventive and critical thinking, collaboration, communication and information skills. Through the literature discussion, pupils are encouraged to apply reasoning and argumentative skills to construct meaning and opinions as well as linking these to societal concerns in the real world. They will also be able to relate children literature to our school values namely, Wise, Enterprising, Gracious, Responsible, Resilient and Open.
