The theme of their learning this year is about famous people.
For this period, to coincide with National Day, AN learnt about Thomas Stamford Raffles and Sang Nila Utama. And she watched clips of how Singapore used to be like since its "Singapura" days.
She asked to visit the museum and so we went after her music class.
Without ER, it's easier to listen and learn! Waiting for him to grow up a little more so that he can enjoy these stuff too.
It's free entry for all Singaporeans and Permanent Residents by the way.

| Listening to explanation about these kampong houses (I think. We had only 1 commentary tablet) |

| Trying to figure out what commentator was talking about |

| Fashion in the 60s |
 |
| Grooming style of the 60s |

| Last and most importantly, we are Singaporeans. |
I watched a simple video about a boy who got into a fight with his classmate.
His dad was appalled that his usually well behaved son did that. When he saw the other boy whom his son fought with, he was even more surprised. That was a boy much taller and stronger looking than his own son!
At the principal's office, he was asked why he fought.
The boy silently released his clenched fist holding onto an eraser.
His dad couldn't believe he would fight over just 1 eraser when he bought a whole box of many more for him.
The little boy's reply was simple but impactful: "This is the only one with our Singapore flag on it."
