Children of My First Skool at Blk 601 Ang Mo Kio performing the nursery rhyme titled ‘Trampoline’ on August 3.

On August 3, My First Skool (MFS) at Blk 601 Ang Mo Kio was awarded second prize for its nursery rhyme titled ‘Trampoline’ in the ‘Thumbs Up Little Junior’ Nursery Rhymes Competition. There was a total of 475 entries, which is the highest number received for the competition in the past 9 years.

Gan Chun Yan, Chinese Senior Teacher, said the nursery rhyme was inspired by her daily observations of children enjoy jumping on trampolines and cotton candy.

“We combined this popular activity with our rich imagination, bringing trampolines and cotton candy to the stage,” she added.

Dr Connie Lum, Director of Mother Tongue Language Curriculum, NTUC First Campus, was also a judge at the event.

“The nursery rhymes competition is not just for teachers and students. I am delighted to see some entries involving parents this year, giving us a glimpse of family life at home. Families play a crucial role in encouraging children to love the Chinese language from a young age,” she said.

MFS also received 4 Commendation Awards and a Special Recognition Award at the competition.
