TGPS – “Race to Success” Open House

This week I received a notice in the letterbox that informed us of the OPEN HOUSE event at TGPS on Saturday, 26 July. I decided to bring Anthea to the open house so that she(us) can have an idea of the study environment she is going to be in starting next year.

In the morning, after a good breakfast of my dad home-baked chicken pie, Aces family headed to Toa Payoh central to do some shopping for the children’s water bottles. They need a STRING bottle for their Zoo Excursion in Aug. After buying the bottles, we headed to Macdonald for a quick lunch.

Then we went for the open house event that was scheduled from 2 – 5 pm. Upon arriving, there was a receptionist counter that provided us with a “Game Card”, we are supposed to go to individual Station and collect stickers for the card. Each station will introduce the school curriculum to the parents/children. There are total of 14 stations – English, Math, Science, Mother Tongue, TG-ramics, Robotics, Parent-child race etcs.

At each individual station, there will be the teacher and children in attendance to explain the objectives of the games or the subject. It was a lot of fun, especially for Anthea and Anders as these are interactive games.

We won some presents at the games but I think the most VALUEABLE gain was Anthea had enjoyed herself immensely with the games and the environment, she kept saying: “this school is very nice.” : 0

We also had the chance to walk around the school compound and we walked her through the canteen. It brought back a lot of memories for us too. Those good old schooling days.

Times FLY so fast, comes next year, Anthea will be in Primary One and like all mothers, it seem like yesterday she was just a Baby... : )
