End of Term Letter – Term 3 2016
White Lodge Kindergarten Upper Bukit Timah
Dear Parents,
Term 3 has been ten weeks worth of bountiful harvest reaped from a myriad of
engaging and interactive themes such as Transportation, Toys, Inventors and
Inventions and books from renowned authors! Guided by the themes in focus,
the lessons and events organised have contributed to the integration of our
curriculum.
Harnessing on the availability of the beautiful outdoor
space that we have here in White Lodge Upper Bukit
Timah, the highlight of this
term revolves around the
theme of Book Week with the
introduction of the outdoor classrooms where we have
brought many lessons to life! Children being the
natural explorers that they are, have an intense desire
for
knowledge
surroundings.

opportunities to explore the natural world and it was
through this theme, that we have discovered nature as an
incredible library of knowledge.

Our field trip to “Marine Cove” at East Coast Park
which was in line with our focus on the unit of inquiry
into the inventions of Transport, was an ideal day
spent with a family picnic by the beach side and
watching the ships anchored in the sea.
The Kindergarteners also
went on an educational field trip to the National
Museum to witness the exhibits at the MASAK
MASAK exhibition as a wrap up to our focus on the
theme of inventors and invention.
This term, driven by one of our core values, ‘We
Celebrate Differences,’ we experienced special
days like Friendship and National Day where we
all came dressed in our respective traditional
clothes and red and white respectively, to mark
the friendship and harmony in Singapore, a
home to all of us.
