Chinatown Learning Journey

Dear 4B boys and girls, are you looking forward to our 2nd learning journey to Chinatown next Monday? I'm sure it is going to be a fun day learning something new outside the classroom! Let's pray and hope for wonderful weather that day! (16 April)

We had a great learning journey to Chinatown on 19 April 2010.
Here are the pictures!


Thian Hock Keng Temple:

  • Temple of Heavenly Happiness.
  • Located on Telok Ayer Street.
  • Singapore's olderst Hokkien temple.
  • Amazingly, no nails were used in building it!





The eager-to-learn pupils were with a knowledgeable tour guide, who was relating the history of the temple to the pupils.








The Ann Siang Hill was where bullock carts were used to transport water supply in Chinatown.
"Bullock carts water" = 'Niu Che Shui" in Chinese.


Monuments of Samsui Women who wore red headgears and worked on construction sites in olden Singapore.





Pupils walking along the five-foot way (shophouses).
