Fun Days! dsadas
With measures of determined work and fun times, we have arrived at the midpoint of 2016! Over the next few pages, join us as we journey through January to June 2016! Moments in the Centre are rife with learning, laughter, hope and thought – learning from each other, laughing with each other, hoping for each other and thinking about each other. It is an impossible task to capture every one of those learning moments, but we hope this newsletter allows you a glimpse into the moments that make up the student care environment. Moments captured. Moments learnt from. Moments remembered.

All about friendship @ Each Coast Park
Breaking the Ice, between Si Ling & Jurong West 2 students.
All about Friendship! Most weeks during a holiday period consist of an exciting day when the students and staff hop onto a bus and take a little journey to have some fun outside of the centre! This past March holidays, we partnered with our sister centre YMCA SCC @ Si Ling and took a fun day-trip to East Coast Park. This trip was the culmination of a ‘Friendship’ themed holiday week throughout which our children had a blast learning to make their very own friendship bracelets. The most memorable part of this week was when students of both centres finally met at the excursion to East Coast Park; this resulted in several new friendships!

Enrichment Activities dsadas
Y Junior Masterchefs Y Junior Masterchefs was fun, interesting and indeed an apt enrichment to start the year with. The hands on sessions added an element of fun to the anxieties of starting a new school year, particularly for our Primary 1 students, who had to learn new routines.
A simple activity early this year.. spreading kaya on bread..
Seems simple, but it is fun!
Learning to stack cups, step by step…
Cup Stacking Ah, good ol’ Cup Stacking! This unique sport has been around for some time and when introduced as enrichment in the SCCs’, our students had a blast with it! Friendly competition was rife and of course, who can forget YMCA’s Cup Stacking Competition 2016!
Every second counts in cup stacking!
