NDP Family Day



On the 7th of July,we went to the National Day Parade (NDP) Family Show. Our maid, Aunty Juliet, went along with us. We wore red shirt because our Singapore flag is also red.






















A man dressed as a fish was making ballons for everyone.




These are the ballons which the fish man gave us.



This man was acting as if war was coming. If he was pointing at me, I would put my hands up on purpose. The reason why I did not put my hands up taht time was because the sholdiers wern't looking at us.


We saw a helicopter pulling a big Singapore flag. The colour of the flag is red which is above a white part. It has a new moon and fiver stars in the red part.


My mother and I found the meaning of the flag from the web.

The flag consists of two equal horizontal sections, red above white. In the upper left section are a white crescent moon, and five white stars forming a circle. Each feature of the flag has its own distinctive meaning and significance. Red symbolises universal brotherhood and equality of man. White signifies pervading and everlasting purity and virtue. The crescent moon represents a young nation on the ascendant. The five stars stand for the nation's ideals of democracy, peace, progress, justice and equality.

Learning Journey to a mosquito exhibition



Mosquitoes lay eggs in plain water. The egg will turn into a lava. Soon it will grow into a pupa. Then they will turn into an adult mosquito.




This man was telling us where the mosquitoes lay the eggs in the house.



The man told us that we must pour out the water in the flower pot into the sink.





I was pretending to put the toliet flush. Mummy took a picture of it for fun. I was doing that on purpose.



My mother said that a mosquito has many eyes. She said they are called compound eyes.
If this mosquitoe bites you, you will have a fever. Therefore if it breeds, you will bleed
