Our Secondary Two students had a wonderful time at the National Museum of Singapore on 11 January. Founded in 1887, Singapore’s oldest museum seeks to showcase stories of Singapore and the world, through its exciting line-up of exhibitions and programmes. Its galleries include the Singapore History Gallery on level 1, and four Life in Singapore Galleries on level 2.
Students who went for the trip had a riveting time immersing themselves in in a period when Singapore was under the Japanese Occupation up till the Road to Independence. For Saiful Alam Shah and Toh Wen Bin of Class 2-Pride, it was mesmerising for them to know more about how people lived back then. They were also inspired to know more about our nation’s post-independence years.
After a hiatus from Learning Journeys due to the pandemic, we are glad that our students had a chance to expand their horizons beyond the four classroom walls and step into our enchanting past. We also hope that this intriguing experience will make all of us more proud to be a Singaporean or part of the Singapore community!
