Dear Year 3 Parents and Guardians, Year 3 students will visit The Peranakan Museum for the Mandarin programme integration with the Unit of Inquiry - A Nation is made up of many unique individuals, cultures and communities. Students will be exploring the cultural diversity of our host country, Singapore, through experiencing the historical richness of the South East Asia Peranakan culture. On Thursday the 28th of November, we will be leaving school at 9:10am and returning at approximately 11:30am. In the museum, students will have the opportunity to see the worlds finest Peranakan collection displayed in ten different galleries. They will learn about the origins of the Peranakan culture including their food, feasting, celebrations of marriage, religions, lifestyle and more. Students will immerse themselves in the uniqueness of Peranakan culture through some hands-on activities such as stamping on coloured papers with beautiful symbols, taking photos for the unique collections that interest them and both sketching and creating their own artwork. We will provide a selection of traditional Peranakan snack for students to taste once we return. Please let us know if you have any concerns about this. Students may bring a camera if they wish to. Please note that it is their responsibility to look after their belongings. Students will wear their school uniform for the field trip. Afternoon classes will be as normal. Please fill out the reply slip below, and attached consent form, and return with the payment (exact amount please) by Thursday the 21st of November.
