During young children’s early years, it is imperative to instill a positive attitude towards learning and encourage them to always look forward to many learning experienes in their daily lives.
In the past weeks of Term 4, the older Niwa-ians had ‘travelled’ to different parts of the World in their ‘jet plane’. In fact, they were actually looking forward to a field trip that promised them a ‘flight’ to one of the countries that they had shared and discovered with such great interest! Imagine that!
Finally, the decision was made to take a tour to ‘Madame Tussauds Singapore’. The Niwa-ians were going to ‘meet-and-greet’ the World’s well-known celebrities from different countries!
This was even better than taking the ‘plane’ to just 1 country. The Niwa-ians were going to have the ‘WORLD’ to come to them in their home ground. Absolutely brilliant!
“Good morning Niwa explorers, we are going to Madame Tussauds Singapore. Are you ready?”
“Yes, we are.”
“We are ready too.”
“Ever ready.”
Here we went onto our 7-seater MPV ‘Spacer’!
“All buckled up.”
“Time to set off to Madame Tussauds Singapore.”
To the Niwa-ians’ delight, they even enjoyed a boat ride before their entrance to the famous wax museum.
“This is so fun and adventurous.”
