As for the parents, you may like to check out The Straits Times Parenting Masterclasses – a two-day seminar for parents to learn and discuss parenting tips from experts such as Sha-En Yeo, a positive psychology coach and award-winning author. The News-in-Education specialists from The Straits Times Schools Team will also discuss how news stories are useful resources for imparting character education and English language skills to pupils. I will be attending some of these classes!
In partnership with National Library Board, the event will unveil SmartKids Asia Storyland for the first time. For three days, this segment will showcase timeless classics in the form of theatrical plays and storytelling from Goldilocks & The Three Bears, Little Red Riding Hood to Hansel & Gretel, and more. Pororo Park Singapore, the Official Play Partner of SmartKids Asia 2017, will also be a part of SmartKids Asia Storyland presenting a rendition of Jack & The Beanstalk featuring its main character, Pororo The Penguin. Do check them out and book your free seats early!
For those who love arts, SmartKids Asia is challenging young creators and dreamers to translate their ideas into art form. The older kids could paint a story based on their very own idea of “A Great Makan Time”. While the younger kids could participate in the Stabilo Junior Colouring Contest.
Artists with the 10 best artworks will be presented with prizes worth up to $500 in total and an official certificate, determining them to be the best imaginators of the contest. Register your interest here and here.
