Ableland @ Tampines

We have a date on 11 December – ABLELAND @ TAMPINES YEAR-END CONCERT 2011

Ableland Schoolhouse — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 08:38:51 +0000

Every year, the year-end concert is both an emotional as well as a happy time for us. Our K2s are graduating. Some of the children in K2 have been with us for many years, some for only a year. But it does not matter. We see them practically every day. And it is a joy to see them grow, develop and learn. After graduation, they will no longer be coming to our school next year and we will definitely miss them. We have had many fond memories of the K2s and the School sincerely and affectionately wishes them the very best as they go on to Primary School.

Parents, please remember – This Sunday, 10 AM. Come and see your children perform for you in the ABLELAND @ TAMPINES YEAR-END CONCERT 2011.

Singapore Science Centre Never Fails to Fascinate – 25 October 2011

Ableland Schoolhouse — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 04:50:09 +0000

Exploring the whole Science Centre in one morning is just impossible. The exhibits and gadgets were just too interesting; too many. They succeeded in arousing our innate curiosities and satisfying our natural inquisitiveness. The treat of delicious hotdogs from a very popular hotdog joint effectively stopped our tummies’ growl. Our teachers also want to thank our parents for their participation and help. Mother Nature has ensured that we do not forget the theme of this excursion – WATER; it rained heavily just as we were about to leave the centre. But the rain water did not dilute the fun and knowledge we got from the trip. We will definitely come back for more in the future.

Yet Another Memorable Day – At Pasir Ris Park (21 July 2011)

Ableland Schoolhouse — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 07:53:23 +0000

[[Show as slideshow]]

The children’s eagerness and anticipation for the field trip were even higher after the postponement, as they know that great fun and excitement awaits. At the park’s playground, every single ounce of their energy was metamorphosed into pure fun – with great efficiency. And in the process, they ran, climbed, walked, balanced, jumped and skipped – under the watchful eyes of the teachers. There is no better way to improve their gross motor skills! They even found time to learn about the trees, leaves, insects and appreciate the beauty that Nature offers. To top it all, they were treated to their all-time favorite – ice-cream! Yet another memorable day, it is….
