SINDA’s Children Division kept our Indian kids productively and happily occupied with various activities over the June Holidays.
From a nature trail to Sentosa for Primary 3-6 students, to a Maths Carnival for pre-school children from all age groups immensely enjoyed the wide range of holiday programmes conducted for them. Here’s a sneak peek at the colourful June Holidays for these kids:
Jumanji Holiday Camp (20-22 June)
70 students from Primary 4 and 5 had a wild adventure at Jumanji, a 3 Day/2 Night Holiday Camp organised by SINDA. The camp imbibed in students a range of academic and social skills such as Motivation, Leadership and Mathematics. Students were engaged in meaningful team building activities and were given leadership roles to boost their confidence and bring out their full potential. Various Math concepts were also reinforced through highly stimulating and enriching activities such as “Cooking with Maths” and “Geometry Treasure Hunt”. Students felt that these hands-on activities enhanced their problem-solving skills, and encouraged them to apply Math concepts in day-to-day living. Jumanji certainly got the students thinking critically and creatively, while having fun!
Youth @ Play
265 youths were involved in exciting holiday activities organised by the Youth Division. These youths benefitted from a plethora of experiences from challenging outdoor activities to designing F1 cars. Here’s what our youths were up to in June:
