Dear Year 3A Parents and Guardians, Our next unit of inquiry, under the Where We Are in Place and Time theme, will look into what makes Singapore a unique nation. Our central idea is: A nation is made up of many unique individuals, cultures and communities. To make our inquiry richer, we would like to take a trip to the National Museum of Singapore and take part in their Street Food Galore interactive exhibit. This will help the children understand how ordinary people have shaped Singapores multicultural landscape through food. We will make our way to the museum on Tuesday, November 12th. We plan to leave school at 9:20am and be back at school by 11:40am. Well need two parent volunteers to help chaperone the students. The cost for the trip is $18. Students will wear their school uniforms for this trip and will only need to bring a small water bottle and a light jacket. We will be back in time for lunch. Please fill out the attached forms and return by Friday, November 1st. Thank you.

Kind regards, Gracie Abadesco Year 3 Teacher

Dear Year 3 Parents and Guardians, Year 3 students will visit The Peranakan Museum for the Mandarin programme integration with the Unit of Inquiry - A Nation is made up of many unique individuals, cultures and communities. Students will be exploring the cultural diversity of our host country, Singapore, through experiencing the historical richness of the South East Asia Peranakan culture. On Thursday the 28th of November, we will be leaving school at 9:10am and returning at approximately 11:30am. In the museum, students will have the opportunity to see the worlds finest Peranakan collection displayed in ten different galleries. They will learn about the origins of the Peranakan culture including their food, feasting, celebrations of marriage, religions, lifestyle and more. Students will immerse themselves in the uniqueness of Peranakan culture through some hands-on activities such as stamping on coloured papers with beautiful symbols, taking photos for the unique collections that interest them and both sketching and creating their own artwork. We will provide a selection of traditional Peranakan snack for students to taste once we return. Please let us know if you have any concerns about this. Students may bring a camera if they wish to. Please note that it is their responsibility to look after their belongings. Students will wear their school uniform for the field trip. Afternoon classes will be as normal. Please fill out the reply slip below, and attached consent form, and return with the payment (exact amount please) by Thursday the 21st of November.
