Ashrie at the Museum

This is another entry to Ashrie’s “List of Firsts”.

Today, Ashrie joined the school field trip to the Singapore Philatelic Museum with her Nursery classmates. It was her first bus ride without us, her first museum visit and altogether her first time away from us. (That’s why there aren’t any photos of her in the museum or during the bus ride.) We just have no idea how she handled her new found independence but we’re sure relieved when the school bus came back on the scheduled time, after three long hours.


We have initially agreed to let her join the trip but we were worried, to say the least, on the separation. Yes, it is us who had the “separation anxiety”. Thank God everything turned out well and above all, she came home safe and sound.

We're so glad she had fun. The first thing she told Mom was how nice the museum toilets were. She also boasts that they had a coloring activity. They sang “Wheels on the Bus” and played various kinds of drums.

With research, I have learned that the SPM offers programs for school (from Preschool to Secondary) and the public with a small fee. So for N2 preschoolers, they probably have done this:

Stamps! Stamps! Stamps!

At the Singapore Philatelic Museum, learn about Singapore's rich heritage, nature and traditional games captured on stamps.

Highlights:
• Introduction to stamps
• Show and tell with traditional toys
• Stamp game & colouring activity

Visit the SPM website for more information. I haven’t been there so I might come and visit the place one of these days. That’s it for now. Cheers y’all!
