Financial Literacy—Good Money Habits

‘Teaching kids sound financial habits at an early

age gives all kids the opportunity to be

successful when they are adults.’ ~ Warren

Buffet, an American business magnate, investor

and philanthropist.

To help our students learn about financial

literacy, our P5 students went on a Learning

Journey to Kidzania on 29 Aug 2019. They learnt how

to be independent and manage finances through

their educational role-playing experiences. They also

learnt the concept of money and how a society

operates as a whole through the different

careers and job functions as they act them out.

Financial planning starts from young. Our P1 to

P4 SKGians also had the opportunity to

experience various career role-playing activities

during recess. Students were actively engaged

during the activities as they learned how to

manage their money and plan for expenses.

Mid-Autumn Festival Celebrations

On 20 Sep 2019, we held

our inaugural Mid-Autumn

Festival Celebration. The event

was enjoyed by the P1 students

and their families. Students

and their family members

learnt about the legend behind

the festival and the

significance of this

joyous occasion. There

was also a dance

performance depicting

the story of rainfall

during spring. An array

of interesting

activities were

prepared such as

tasting of Chinese tea,

mooncakes and pomelos,

making lanterns and even

a mass lantern parade. It

was definitely a

wonderful time for all.

Children’s Day Celebration

Children’s Day was first

celebrated in Singapore in

1961. This year in SKG, the

day began with a special

assembly where our

students’ efforts and

achievements were applauded.

Level activities were organised

which included a Games Carnival.

And on Children’s Day each year,

our P3 and P4 students give back to the community by

creating crafts for their little friends from the MOE

Kindergarten under the For Children by Children

Programme (FCBC).

Homework As Continuous Learning

Our principal, Mr Gau Poh Teck,

has shared at the assembly how

doing homework is important and

how it helps in nurturing excel-

lent habits and routines.

Homework helps students to

practise and reinforce what they learn during the lessons.

Homework allows students to explore and complete the tasks/ problems/

questions at the pace which they are comfortable with

Homework helps students and teachers to be aware of what students know and do

not know so that help can be given in time

Doing homework conscientiously develops good learning habits and

routines

When a student is able to set aside time and complete

homework, he is practicing good self-discipline and

self-management.

Good Habits and Routines

‘Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention. Sincere

effort, and intelligent execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives—

choice, not chance, determines your destiny.’ ~ Aristotle, Greek Philospher.

In term 1, we focused on Punctuality; in term 2, Discipline in Class and in term 3,

Thoughtfulness in Words and Actions. This term, we focused on the value of excellence.

We hope for our SKGians to continue to display the value of excellence by diligently

putting in their best effort in completing homework, assignments and in tasks that are

not academic in nature.
