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'.
