All About Your Child

This is my favourite McDonalds outlet in Singapore by far! Not solely because it used to be where I worked at, rather because of its greenery. McDonalds Ridout Tea Garden at #01-580 Queensway. Its NOT the McDonalds at QUEENSWAY SHOPPING CENTRE.

There used to be a big signage ‘Ridout Tea Garden’ mount on the half-wall by the roadside, but was no longer there when these photos were taken.

It is about 10 to 15 mins walk from the Commonwealth MRT station, well, it depends on how fast your footsteps are. *wink*

It is a great place to hold a child’s birthday party. How do I know? Well, I used to be involved in several parties held there, whereby I served many hamburgers and fries to the excited kids. Aaawww… great memories! *smile*

It is probably the ONLY place where you can see tortoises and fishes being fed with french fries. *tongue in cheek* Nah! Its just that we often see the french fries packaging at the bottom of the pond. *laugh*

If your child is not fascinated by the different fishes swimming in the pond with the cutey tortoises, he or she might prefer the climb-in-slide-out play area. If your child is fond of greenery, just like my younger son, a walk in the big florist behind the McDonalds Ridout Tea Garden restaurant will definitely bring a smile to your child’s face.

Have your child been to McDoanlds Ridout Tea Garden before? Did your child like it?

There is no school for my Primary 2 boy today. In fact, because of PSLE (Primary School Leaving Examination) oral examination today and tomorrow, there is no school for all Primary 1 to Primary 5 pupils, as the Primary 6 students need a quiet environment to get through their oral examination.

The school has thus declared today as eLearning Day for all pupils from Primary 2 to 5.

Their objectives of this eLearning Day is to provide pupils an alternative learning experience facilitated through technology, to enhance pupils’ and school’s readiness in the event of school closure and to enhance the life skills of pupils in the 21st century, such as independent and self-directed learning.

All P2 to P5 students are given specific assignments t to be completed from home and could only be taken from the school’s eLearning portal from 8am to 12.30pm.

They had to login with their Birth Certificate and school ID in order to begin.

So while I am getting this blog post up, he is sitting next to me enjoying his eLearning Day. For the first time, he would NOT hear me say, “Keatkeat you have spent too much time infront of that rectangular screen. Stop now.” *laugh*

With this introduction of eLearning Day, will there come a time whereby students no longer goes to school and all lessons would be taught through the internet? Oh no! Then teachers would become jobless!!!

Does your child school have eLearning Day too?
