GO for H3

A new integrated fitness programme called 'Go for H3" for the whole school! H3 stands for HOPE, HEALTH & HOUSE. This is a project to allow pupils run/walk for a purpose. Japan's current situation is used as the backdrop for this programme whereby pupils will run for a hope that Japan's situation will improve. Other than that, pupils will be exercising for their health and also their respective houses. The goal is for the whole school, including the teachers & staff to travel to Japan by accumulating the distances they have covered individually either by running or walking to add up to 8000 plus kilometers, measuring the actual land distance from Singapore to Japan. 

Last Friday was the commencement of the 'GO for H3' programme, initiated by our principal, Mrs Siew. The whole school did a mass run of '400m' around the school to contribute to the total distance covered by the school. A great start for the programme! 

3 cheers for Cedar!

Fruittie Veggie Programme

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Fruittie Veggie Programme has kicked off once again to encourage your child/ward to eat more fruits and vegetables during their recess and lunch break. Little 'Fruittie Veggie' cards will be given to pupils spotted eating fruits and vegetables and they can contribute the cards to their respective houses' boxes as shown in the photo above. 

The other programme is the "Eat a fruit" day on the 22nd of every month. This is to remind everyone about eating 2+2 serving of fruits and vegetables a day. This coming Friday will be the 22nd of July where everyone in school will be encouraged to bring a fruit to eat during recess or lunch break. Do pack for your child/ward a serving of fruit e.g. an apple, a piece of papaya, a banana etc. to bring to school. Let's keep a healthy diet as it does take more than an apple to keep the doctor away!

Reading Corner: New Books!

I've borrowed 40 new books for the class to be put in the class reading corner for the pupils to read. The class librarians will be accountable for the books as well. Do encourage your child/ward to read more books, especially during their free time so that they form a habit of reading and eventually developing a love for reading.

Kite Festival 2011

Dear Parents/Guardians,

After an exciting and captivating introduction of kite flying in our assembly program for your child/ward, I believe that they would have told you about the "Kite Festival 2011" that is coming up. This year's Kite Festival will bring the action into the heart of the city, at Marina Bay. There will be hundreds of imaginatively shaped kites on show and also 'learn-how-to-make-kites' workshops being conducted. 

It would definitely be a great opportunity for your family to have a great time of fun, fellowship and family bonding together. It is FREE too! The details are as follows:

Location: Marina Bay

Date: 3 September (Sat) - 4 September (Sun)

Website: http://www.act3international.com.sg/kitefest.htm

"What a fantastic way to start the September Holidays..."

Assembly Program: Kite Flying

An interesting program for the pupils to learn more about the origin of kite flying and also a 'live' demonstration of kite flying indoors by the professional kite flyers! Pupils were all captivated by the eye-catching performances by the host and definitely excited about the free kites (sponsored by NTUC income) they will be receiving!
