My Favourite Mural

I took the photograph (on the left) of these colourful parrots at our zoological gardens in Mandai. They are very beautiful to look at.

At the top is a mural ( a painting on the wall ) of various parrots and cockatoos found in a jungle. This mural has been painted by professionals and they have made our school beautiful indeed. You'll think that this beautifully painted mural might be my favourite, Afterall, it's right out of nature. But you are wrong.

The one that holds a special place in my heart is the mural behind the flagposts, at the front of Hatsuyume Square. It has the picture of a rainbow, some birds and the words, 'COURAGE AND SINCERITY' (See picture below ) You may say , 'But that mural is not as beautiful as the one of the parrots.' Then, why is it my favourite. The words, ' COURAGE AND SINCERITY' happens to be our school motto. Did you know that the motto was crafted by the pioneer teachers of Anderson Primary when the school opened in 2000? And why is it my favourite? No prizes for the right answer though. You see, I was one of a team of 8 teachers who painted the mural. We are not professional artists but I think we did a good job. I am definitely proud of my part in creating and painting this mural. And every school day, when the weather is good, hundreds of pupils will face the mural to sing' Majulah Singapura'.

My Happy Fish

Hello boys and girls. Do you like the picture of this fish? I call it 'My Happy Fish' because it has bright colours and is swimming among many friends. The boy who coloured this underwater scene is Ian Soh from class 2.6. He was only given the outline of the fish. I asked the class to decorate the fish and make it colourful. I also told them to try and add some other sea creatures to make the background interesting. Ian has drawn some lovely sea creatures to accompany his happy fish. There are 5 tortises, smaller fish, 3 crabs and a starfish. Well done, Ian!

The Hibiscus

Both the pictures are Hibiscus flowers. The orange one has single petals. The plant is growing near the butterfly garden near the place where the Lower Primary pupils sometimes play "slide".

The pink one has petals that resemble a rose because it is multi-layered. This hibiscus plant is growing near the ledge just outside the LSP Room. You can see the plant if you are playing on Hatsuyume Square facing the main door of the DAS.

Animal Masks

These are some of the masks made by the pupils of Primary One. The ones on the top are done by P1.5 and those below by P1.1
