Speech and Drama Performance

Dear Parents,


Welcome back to Term 2! I hope you have had a fulfilling time with your child during the past week!

Today the boys resumed their Speech and Drama lesson. According to the instructor, all the P1 classes will be putting up a performance some time in May. Our boys in 1Goodness have been assigned to perform a poetry recitation. In the following weeks to come, the instructor will be training the boys and getting them ready for the big day!

Your child have been given a copy of the poems. Kindly assist him in memorizing both poems. I will provide further updates when I have more information.

Thank you for your attention and participation!

English Language Arts Weeks


Dear Parents,

Thank you very much for your participation and hard work; the costumes were fantastic! We had two crocodiles, four Mr Fox(es),  Oompa Loompa, and a witch (two, if you were to include me)!

I was dressed up as a modern witch. I don't use a broom; I use the iRobot! And I travel by the MRT which is equally fast! That is, if the trains don't break down!

I think the boys had a lot of fun this morning, despite being drenched in sweat because of their costumes! Check out the photos which have been uploaded!

Cheers!!!
