National Day is more than a celebration at ELFA Preschool. It is an opportunity for children to learn about Singapore, appreciate their community and develop a stronger sense of belonging to the place they call home.<\/p>\n

This year, children across our three ELFA Preschools marked Singapore’s 61st<\/sup> National Day through creative activities, movement and community experiences. Through these experiences they explored Singapore’s heritage while building confidence, teamwork and a sense of togetherness.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Learning About Singapore Through Play<\/h2>\n

At ELFA Preschool @ Hougang, children explored Singapore’s landmarks and national symbols through music, dance and red-and-white-themed games. They also took their celebrations beyond the centre when they performed at the Paya Lebar National Day Carnival at Kovan Hub.<\/p>\n

Our children delighted the community with a vibrant and energetic performance comprising a remix of GetActive! Singapore songs.<\/p>\n

The experience gave them an opportunity to step beyond their comfort zones, share their talents and celebrate Singapore\u2019s birthday with the wider community.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Growing Through Meaningful Experiences<\/h2>\n

At ELFA Preschool @ Jurong East, children created National Day artworks, recited the National Pledge and danced to National Day songs.<\/p>\n

They also explored gardening in the centre\u2019s garden. As they cared for the plants, children learned how small actions can contribute to a greener environment. The hands-on experience also encouraged teamwork, responsibility and respect for nature.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Celebrating Together as a Community<\/h2>\n

At ELFA Preschool @ Tampines, children participated in an energetic workout session led by a parent of a nursery child.<\/p>\n

Through stretching, dancing and movement, children learned about the importance of staying active while enjoying a shared National Day experience. The session also reflected ELFA Preschool\u2019s partnership with parents in supporting our children\u2019s holistic learning.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Across the three centres, National Day provided meaningful opportunities for children to learn, participate and connect with their community.<\/p>\n

Through play, creativity, movement and shared experiences, the children developed confidence, teamwork and a deeper appreciation for the community they are in.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":6275,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6277","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-happenings"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/elfapreschools.com\/singapore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6277","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/elfapreschools.com\/singapore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/elfapreschools.com\/singapore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elfapreschools.com\/singapore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elfapreschools.com\/singapore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6277"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/elfapreschools.com\/singapore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6277\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6283,"href":"https:\/\/elfapreschools.com\/singapore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6277\/revisions\/6283"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elfapreschools.com\/singapore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6275"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/elfapreschools.com\/singapore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6277"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elfapreschools.com\/singapore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6277"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elfapreschools.com\/singapore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6277"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
