GRC Event 2022 - FORWARD SG 🇸🇬

      

As a member of the Grassroots Committee (GRC), I'm thankful for the opportunities to meet and interact with people, from different walks of life through social / community events. I've been a Grassroots Leader for more than 3 years and in YEC many years back. Personally, I believe in giving back to the society and I am honored to have contributed my humble support to serve the community.

      

I recently attended a GRC private event at Devan Nair Institute, located at Jurong East.

FORWARD SG is a nationwide campaign that was launched to let the community come together to explore new values, goals, propositions on social compact and to shape the future for Singapore.

The exercise is organised into six pillars to strengthen our solidarity as a society.

▪️ EMPOWER        ▪️ BUILD

▪️ EQUIP                ▪️ STEWARD

▪️ CARE                  ▪️ UNITE

Refreshments before the event starts...

        

       

             

                  (Thank goodness! I haven't had my breakfast,lol😅)

It was a huge group and a scheduled event, so we were divided into different sub groups and everyone get to pick a topic that they are most interested to discuss.

I chose the topic on EQUIP, which highlight on Education and Lifelong Learning, that we can introduce new skills/re-skills/up-skills programs in our educational system, to equip the students with valuable skills that will create more career opportunities and future endeavors.

       

 

My group includes 5 Secondary School students and another parent.

The students were very polite and a little shy at first, but after some ice-breaking and brainstorming, the teenagers are vocal and engaging on sharing their personal views, suggestions and their school life experience. It's great to see our younger generations filled with passion and enthusiasm on their dreams, goals and aspirations.

 

As a group, we believe that education is extremely important, but we should also focus on interpersonal skills and the ability to express ourselves confidently in general communication and public speaking etc. Every students should be given equal opportunities to explore their talents and full potentials, regardless their streaming categorised.

As a parent and in my opinion, I encourage progressive education that enhance on Social Skills, Problem Solving, Leadership, Teamwork and building Strong Mental Well-Being. As mentioned before on my earlier blogs, I believe (EQ) is just as important for a child's learning journey, aside from getting good grades (IQ) and academy achievements.

Our children and younger generation is our future and hope. I believe in order for a country to achieve advanced milestones, technological innovations and to improve the quality of life, we must adjust our mentality, be flexible and welcome new ideas, plans and directions towards the stages of transitions. 

 

Changes can be challenging and uncomfortable, but a country cannot remain in stagnation. We have to keep up with new skills, knowledge, self-growth & self-improvement as we progress. This will benefit every individual in the competitive world today.

I took this picture before the event, very creative design and I love the words on the stairs. "Every Step Brings You Closer To Success."

         

Everyone plays an important role for a nation's development and progression, it doesn't matter if you are the working adults, homemakers, students, retirees etc..Regardless what background, ethnicity, cultures and beliefs, we can all contribute to our society as a community. Every effort and contribution matters!👍

It's been a privilege to attend the event and I learned something new during this interactive dialogue session and I don't mind sacrificing my Sunday morning,lol.😄

 

 

This is the first time I get to meet Minister Desmond Lee (Minister for National Development of Singapore) in person. A warm and friendly gentleman with a cheerful smile. Minister Lee gave a summary speech on the key contents that were discussed on the event.

It was an enjoyable event and a pleasure to meet many new friends and the Minister/MPs in our constituency. I look forward to more GRC events to come.

Coming Together is a Bonding. 

Keeping Together is Progress.

Working Together is Success.

Christmas is just around the corner and it's my favorite time of the year. I take this opportunity to wish everyone a joyous Christmas seasons and a wonderful New Year 2023! 🎄🥳🎉

📝Product Review - Science Flashcards By Learnintt

The great and wise Albert Einstein once said, "Everyone Is A Genius!"

I agree...

Personally, I believe every child has their strength and potential. I'm sure every parents want their children to be intelligent, knowledgeable and successful in life. As parents, we can guide our children to explore and unlock the possibilities. 

I'm a believer that learning is much more important than getting good grades. Knowledge is important for the young minds. With a good educational system and the right learning tools, learning can be so much fun for the little ones.

I recently received these cool Science Flashcards for Lower and Upper Primary from Learnintt. Their aim is to promote interactive learning to help students learn better and faster.

My son is in Primary 3 this year and he loves science! He would always ask me many questions related to science, but well..I'm not a science guru myself (lol) but with these flashcards, it's much easier to explain the information without racking my brains.

I know sometimes it can be challenging for the kids to learn from textbooks. They may get bored and feel unmotivated to learn more. Children love games. Flashcards create a fun learning experience and I believe children are more likely to gain knowledge as they learn through play.

Studies have shown that young children are attracted to bright colors, pictures, game cards and cartoon characters etc... It's no wonder teachers and schools around the world are using flashcards in the classrooms to build their learning interests.

Flashcards promote interactive learning, it stimulates brain development, it encourage creativeness, build confidence and boost social skills as well. 

My kids love these flashcards, I'm glad the flashcards keep them occupied and entertained. What a great way to bond with the kids as they learn and play!

I would recommend this product to any parents who prefer interactive learning materials. The information is accurate and the contents are based on the latest MOE syllabus. Good quality flashcards with many interesting questions & answers that the kids would enjoy science a lot more! Even a parent like me start loving science again.😄

There are other subjects of flashcards available, please check out their website for more product information. 

Get These Flashcards and start building a genius! 👍

Happy fun learning! 

Knowledge Is Power! (Never Stop Learning) 📚

Let's face it! In this society and the generation that we are living today, competition is everywhere around us...In school, at work, in a job interview, etc. Therefore, learning is essential for everyone! Good education systems and resources are very important for our future generations. 


In my opinion, competitions aren't always negative and stressful... Sometimes, it can be a form of motivation to strive better. Everyone aims for the best and no one like to fail. The more knowledge and skills you have, the better chance to succeed and achieve your goals. 

As parents, we want the best for our children. Don't we? Since the day they were born, we are constantly teaching them to walk, talk, write, read, helping them to build up their motor skills with educational toys and learning tools in their early years. 

We send our children to school to learn different subjects, languages, moral values and social skills that would help them in their adulthood in the years to come. I am sure every parent want their child to shine like a star, to have a bright future and hope they'll be successful in life.

Parents and teachers play an important role in a child's learning journey. As a work-at-home mum, I'm always looking for good learning materials for my little ones. I encourage my children to learn as much as they can. That way, they can excel, explore new things, to discover their potential and talents. 


My job as a parent is to give my children the best support they need, guide them in life and help them build a good attitude in learning. 


I'm glad that with the advanced technology and resources we have today, there are many helpful educational materials to make learning fun and interesting for both children & adults.


The mind of a child is full of curiosity, they are always eager to explore and learn. Children are attracted to bright colors, funny faces and colorful pictures, that is why cartoons are their top favorite channels. So, with the right educational tools, learning can be full of joy and excitement. 


I recently came across an interesting website with lots of cool themed worksheets that are customized for children in different age groups. They sent me some worksheets the other day and I would like to share with my readers. There are many lovely designs and different types of worksheets on their website (eg: maze, puzzles, games, mathematics, word tracer and more...) I think the kids would love them!


These worksheets can help the kids to improve their spelling, grammars, vocabulary, writing skills and penmanship as well. Afterall, practice makes perfect! 😉


I teach my son spelling every week. (He is Primary 2 this year) I guide him to write proper sentences in his compositions and to speak with confidence during his Show & Tell presentation in school and..........Happiness is when your child brings home his Spelling test with a full score! (10/10) Well done, Son! Mummy is very proud of you! Keep up the good work! 😘👍

Personally, I'm not one who focus too much on academic results. For me, I believe life is more than just getting good grades, there are things like morality and EQ that are equally important. However, I believe in learning as much as possible, to gain knowledge. I want my kids to enjoy learning every day and have a pleasant school life. As I mentioned in my earlier blog, education is indeed important because the world needs future doctors, scientists, lawyers, engineers, etc..


Knowledge is power! Knowledge comes from learning and leaders never stop learning. Education is the key ingredient to achieve long term success!


Every child deserves the best education! 
Whether you are a parent or a teacher...I believe we share the same goal, to improve our children's lives and to build a better future.



Help your kids strengthen their summer spelling knowledge with this spelling test! For more spelling resources, visit Education.com!

Confucius once said...
"Education Breeds Confidence.
 Confidence Breeds Hope. 
 Hope Breeds Peace."


Always keep learning, because life never stops teaching! 😉
