Accidents can happen

Everyone thinks that accidents won't happen to them. In fact, accidents are called 'accidents' because you won't know when they might happen! Accidents can happen when you least expect it. Just like what happened to Wee Kiat.

Our friend Wee Kiat was absent from school for two days. The reason was that he fell and broke his front tooth and had to extract it at the hospital.

To sum it all, the song from Thomas & Friends "Accidents Will Happen" reminds us that we have to concentrate on what we are doing or accidents can happen just like that!

Safety messages:
DON'T TEXT AND DRIVE!

Our teachers

These are our teachers, Teacher Jasmine and Teacher Yurnita. They have been our teachers for two years.

Teacher Jasmine plays the violin very well and is musically inclined. She also plays the keyboard and percussion instruments. She is like a super heroine to us because she is able to multi-task and manage work and home.

Teacher Yurnita has the ability to sign very well to communicate with the hearing impaired friends in class.

Teacher Yurnita can cook very well and her signature dishes are nasi ayam, nasi lemak and prawn noodles. She has been volunteering with the Boccia team for a few years and have travelled internationally to assist in competitions.

Recently with her coaching, Singapore National Team, won silver in Portugal for Master Championship in 2012.

We admire our teachers being working mothers and still have energy to work in a special school. It is not easy working with special needs children.
