Happy Diwali

It is Diwali and we wanted to say Happy Diwali to Bukit Timah Primary School in Singapore. 

Ridley: We were celebrating saying thank you to god and reading a special note. We put flowers, milk and money into the pot. We light candles because it is the festival of lights.

"This is me at Rongatai school celebrating Diwali. We did some performances. People did dances and people sang. Some people did a play and most of it was in Hindi and Bengali. The clothes are traditional Indian clothes. I wore a sari for one of the days".

Please add anything that you have learnt in the Padlet below:

Using Google Drawing to design logos for International Friendship Day

In October, Nicola visited Singapore as part of an Asia NZ Foundation delegation. Nicola visited Bukit Timah School. Worser Bay School have continued to connect and collaborate with Bukit Timah.

Inspired by the way that Bukit Timah School celebrate culture and diversity, Worser Bay are going to celebrate International Friendship Day next year.

"International Friendship Day" is celebrated in Singapore. This day is dedicated to the understanding of Singapore’s relations with its neighbours and aims to nurture the spirit of friendship and collaboration among different people.

International Friendship Day is celebrated in schools in Singapore in April.

Bukit Timah School chat with Worser Bay School

We did a video call with Bukit Timah Primary School on the 15th of October. Nicola went to visit this school last term!
They asked a lot of  questions and we asked a lot of questions. They answered a lot of questions and we answered a lot of questions. They have around 900 pupils and they have 20 ish pupils in a class.

Singapore does have a few lightning storms because they have a very hot climate so most of them wear shorts or skirts.

They asked us if our teachers are fierce. We told them that our teachers are funny.

You might think it is an old school because they do have lots of desks.

They speak Tamil, English, Malay and Chinese and a lot of other different languges.

We enjoyed our video call with Bukit Timah School and we look forward to doing it again soon.

Message from Chris

Dear Bukit Timah Students,

My name is Chris and I am 6 years old. I go to Worser Bay School. One of my teachers came to see you last week. Her name is Nicola. She told us all about her trip and meeting you. 

I will be travelling to Singapore in my next school holidays. Please can you recommend some fun things for me to do with my family while I am there. I like the idea of going to the night zoo and Lego Land. How long does it take to get to Lego land from Singapore?

I look forward to hearing from you.

From Chris

Postcards from Worser Bay

Tautoru wrote postcards to Bukit Timah Primary school for Nicola to take with her to Singapore. We bought a Kete and decorated it with feathers to transport them. Nicola will explain to the children what a Kete is when she gives it to the them. Take a look at our photos to see how beautiful they are!
