Dear Parents,

Excursion – Screening a movie on dinosaurs in place of excursion

We were planning to bring the children on an excursion in relation to Dinosaurs on 20th Nov, 2009 to enhance their classroom learning. However, we could not find an appropriate venue or activities. Hence we have decided to screen a movie on dinosaurs in place of this excursion.

Please be in school as usual and the children will be split into their different classes to watch developmentally appropriate movies about dinosaurs - their habitats, behaviours and theories of how they became extinct.

Nevertheless, we would like to suggest the following activities which you can enjoy with your children and enhance their knowledge on dinosaurs:

1. From 12 Dec, 2009 - 21 Feb 2010, there will be an exhibition on Dinosaurs "Hollywood Dinos" which will be held at Jurong Bird Park. We were informed by the organisers that visitors will be able to encounter many life-size dinosaurs, dinosaurs that can growl, wink their eyes and even walk & dance. We have decided not to bring the children to "Hollywood Dinos" as it may be a scary experience for many children, especially those below 5. However, parents may want to bring your children if you think they may be receptive. For more information, visit Hollywood Dinos. Enjoy your trip and tell us about it.
   
   
2. The Singapore Science Centre has a permanent display of a huge dinosaur at its entrance which moves its head and neck and growls occasionally.
   
   
   

 

Thank you for your understanding and best regards.
