Teachers’ Day 2019 Recess Activity
One of the core values that we hope to instill in our boys is gratefulness, and knowing how to thank those that help them with their achievements.
The PSG printed cards for the boys to pen their heartfelt messages of thanks to their Teachers! We were so happy to see that they made good use of their time and wrote lovely notes of thanks to the Teachers who have helped build them up!
The cards will be distributed to the Teachers in the lead up to Teachers’ Day.

English Language Fortnight
To encourage love for the English Language, ACS(P) organises an English Language fortnight every year.
Parent Volunteers are roped in to help with the activities at the various stations. Boys get to play interesting games like deciphering riddles, anagrams and rebus as well as having a go at tongue-twisters.
The enthusiasm of the boys is indeed infectious and it is truly wonderful being part of the excitement. Besides the fun and laughter, it is precious witnessing the boys grow in their interest and appreciation of the English Language.
What a creative way to spark learning!
Racial Harmony Day at ACS Primary
Racial Harmony Day at ACS Primary
As a fresh P1 parent this is my first experience volunteering on Racial Harmony Day.
Upon arriving at the Parents Volunteer meeting venue, I was taken aback to see the large group of parent volunteers – both mothers and fathers. It was during the briefing that I realized there was an extensive set up food stalls, outdoor games and indoor craft stations to celebrate Racial Harmony Day. This event was going to be fun for the boys and for us!
There were food stalls galore, featuring many item from each of the races that makes up our beautiful country. Siew Mai and Fishballs from the Chinese community, Roti Prata and Murukku from the Indian, Dry Mee Siam from the Peranakan, Chicken Pie from the Eurasian and Kueh Bahulu from the Malay! As many P1 boys asked in a mixture of awe and joy, “is it ALL free?”, yes indeed all of these are free for the boys to try!
The outdoor game stations were also beckoning the boys with games like Zero-point, Hopscotch, Gasing, Animal chess aarom! The boys enjoyed learning and experimenting with these games that are very different from the digital versions! Indoor craft stations were located in the air-conditioned 1ALC, where I was stationed, we received many boys glistening with sweat, probably from the yummy multi-racial food and fun outdoor games. It was time to cool down and also time to step up on the boys’ motor skills whilst experiencing hands-on multi-racial crafts. There was an interesting mix of Malay Ketuput bookmark weaving and Indian Rangoli keychain painting. The boys were curious about the crafts and were interested to try them out.
Our PSG organisers even catered to the different skill levels – lower primary boys did a simpler version compared to the upper primary boys. The craft was not simple but the boys used their creativity to produce nice bookmarks and keychains to bring home.
Racial Harmony Day in ACS Primary turned out to be a fun filled extended recess for all! Many thanks to the PSG Events Team who worked so hard to organize the event so well.
Happy Helping Hands
After 2 years of having fun learning about occupations at the Mother Tongue Fun Days, our P3 boy’s got the opportunity to learn basic household activities like folding clothes, making mini waste paper bins from recycled paper and learning to choose energy efficient bulbs!
Of course, these activities were conducted in the Mother Tongue languages! Kudos to our Parent Volunteers from the Curriculum Support team for helping organise such fun, educational and meaningful activities for our boys!
