MEDIA RELEASE
OUT OF CLASS AND INTO THE MUSEUMS FOR SOME HOLIDAY FUN Children’s Season 2015 returns with a slew of exciting programmes to cultivate an appreciation for Singapore’s heritage amongst the next generation
Singapore, 28 May 2015 – If you know your ABCs, like listening to stories, and enjoy playing make-believe with costumes and other objects, please raise your hand as the National Heritage Board (NHB) wants you!
2. Parents – haven’t planned that June holiday get-away? Book a staycation and pop into any of the 19 museums that are participating in Children’s Season 2015. Presented by NHB and the Museum Roundtable (MR), the eighth Children’s Season runs from 30 May to 28 June 2015, and will feature over 50 fun-filled yet educational programmes and activities.
3. From a dedicated children’s gallery at the National Museum of Singapore, to interactive and child-friendly displays in exhibitions, and specially-developed education programmes and workshops, NHB is going all out to engage audiences from as young as four years of age. Through a combination of heritage education and outreach programmes, such as the popular Children’s Season, NHB seeks to cultivate a love for museums, and develop an early interest in the arts and heritage in children.
Children’s Season 2015 – A Myriad of Exciting Programmes for the Young and Young at Heart
4. National Museum of Singapore’s flagship Children’s Season event, Masak Masak 2015, returns with a variety of interactive and engaging activities to bring families to the museum. Pick up a copy of Baby Block's Day Out, an easy-to-follow storybook exhibition guide, and your day is set! There are lots to do, from bouncy playgrounds reminiscent of our familiar neighbourhood mosaic playground, crafts such as traditional woodblock prints, to a massive maze and up-close giant illustrations!
5. Introduce the young ones to our Singapore artists and creators who are featured prominently in this year’s Masak Masak. They are Jeremy Hiah, Koh Sia Yong, students from the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, the National University of Singapore Division of Industrial Design, the School of the Arts, as well as actress/illustrator Jeanette Aw. International artists include Crystal Wagner and Mademoiselle Maurice.
6. Next, take a scenic stroll to the Asian Civilisations Museum (ACM) where an animal race awaits! Once Upon a Time in Asia: The Animal Race introduces the cultural tradition of the Chinese zodiac animals. Through original interactive ensembles, inspired by objects in ACM’s collection, as well as specimens and replicas from the Singapore Science Centre, and storytelling sessions, ACM’s specially curated exhibition engages young visitors to discover interesting animal facts using the five senses – from learning about animal poop to exploring the symbolism of animals in other Asian traditions. While you are there, don’t miss the inspiring works from the little tots of Kinderland. Holiday programmes at ACM include creating felt animal plushies, print-making, and a cute animal dance class!
7. Before heading home, pick up a copy of The Missing Mouse which magically brings the museum’s artefacts to life in a riveting, fantastical tale involving Ganesha the Elephant
God and his best friend, Mr Mouse. Great bedtime reading to wind down from all that excitement! Or purchase a special deck of SNAP! cards from the Peranakan Museum where kids can learn about various aspects of daily life in a Peranakan household, for a fun snappy game for the whole family.
8. Venture out to other museums, across the island, that have also come on board to present a series of unique activities. For the very first time, NUS Museum will be conducting a heritage conservation workshop that will cast the spotlight on Singapore’s monuments, objects, traditions and culture. Participants will be equipped with conservation techniques while getting hands-on experience with a piece of history. The Singapore Discovery Centre will be celebrating cultural diversity at their International Friendship Day special weekend with musical and cultural performances, and traditional foods. Young visitors to the Army Museum, Police Heritage Centre, Peranakan Museum and Singapore Science Centre will be able to try their hands out at being in the armed or police forces, a young Peranakan of the past, or a young scientist.
Heritage beyond Museum Doors – Singapore’s Little Treasures
9. Parents with pre-schoolers will be glad to know they are not too young for our museums! Last year, NHB and the Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA) launched the Singapore’s Little Treasures (SLT) project. This pilot initiative enabled pre-schoolers to discover heritage through purposeful and engaging classroom activities, and museum visits. The project was successfully rolled out in 10 pre-school centres last year, and will be extended to 40 this year.
10. A complementary initiative SLT Mother Tongue, targeted at pre-school Mother Tongue teachers of the Chinese, Malay and Tamil languages, will also be launched this year. NHB will train Mother Tongue teachers to design lesson plans based on heritage objects. The teachers will also visit NHB’s heritage institutions – the Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall, Malay Heritage Centre and Indian Heritage Centre, to enhance cross-cultural understanding. Similar to the first SLT initiative, NHB will produce three learning kits containing heritage objects of significance to allow teachers to better explore stories of each ethnic group. Some of these objects include name seals (Chinese), wayang kulit (Malay) and printing press stamps (Indian).
11. Says NHB’s Assistant Chief Executive, Museums and Programmes, Mr Tan Boon Hui, “NHB works closely with our MR partners, the Ministry of Education, agencies such as ECDA, and schools on different platforms to develop a comprehensive package of in- museum, and outreach, programmes to reach out to the younger generation, because we recognise the importance of early engagement. We want to cultivate a new generation of young heritage and museum lovers. As parents and adult caregivers are the best educators and influencers on children, our programmes are also geared towards inter-generational participation, and we hope that the museums will be on the to-do list for families.”

ANNEX A
About Singapore’s Little Treasures
‘Singapore’s Little Treasures’ (SLT) is National Heritage Board’s inaugural project to bring Singapore’s shared history and heritage to the pre-school sector. This project is a collaborative effort of NHB and the Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA) and had a successful pilot trial run last year. Through this initiative, pre-schoolers will have the opportunity to discover our multi-cultural heritage through creative, engaging and purposeful classroom activities and museum visits. The educators will also be equipped with the knowledge of Singapore’s shared history as well as strategies to promote heritage learning using specially-curated resources from the National Museum of Singapore (NMS).
SLT has 3 components: 1) Teacher Engagement and Training, 2) Museum Visit and 3) Outreach & Sharing.
1. Teacher Engagement & Training
Teacher Engagement & Training is a key feature of this project. The 2-day training for the participating pre-school educators has been specially customised by NHB and ECDA based on their prior knowledge and experience of heritage and museum. Besides empowering educators with key content and strategies in heritage learning, the training oriented educators to museum spaces and exhibits, and also provided opportunities for pre-school and museum educators to co-design innovative lessons and spaces for pre-school classrooms. A key goal of teacher engagement and training is to build a learning community of pre-school teachers who are keen to work on innovative approaches in their lessons and encourage their pre-schoolers to discover the world around them through Singapore’s shared history and heritage.
2. Museum Visit
The participating educators will visit Play@NMS at the National Museum of Singapore. Through these visits, they have had first-hand experience of the museum and will be able to develop and facilitate purposeful play for their pre-schoolers at Play@NMS and the Goh Seng Choo Gallery. Pre-schoolers will engage in free-choice play at Play@NMS, and appreciate authentic artworks featuring animals and plants in colonial Singapore at GSC Gallery. To follow-up on the museum visit, teachers are encouraged to develop extension activities – aimed at encouraging families’ appreciation of Singapore’s Heritage - for their classroom as well as for students to work on at home. These could include art-making or learning dialogues about cultural objects and encouraging family visits and bonding at the museum.
3. Outreach & Sharing SLT’s outreach targets pre-school educators, pre-schoolers and their families. Following the teacher engagement and training, each centre will receive a trunk with three heritage objects specially selected from the National Museum of Singapore collection, such as a kompang,
an old wooden pillow and a sari. These have been selected to pique the curiosity of pre- schoolers and create opportunities for conversations and learning of our multi-cultural heritage. The trunk also comes with teaching aids and ideas to support educators in creating learning experiences in their classrooms over a school term. The learning will take the form of intergenerational projects and activities with family and community members (eg. parents, grandparents and elderly community resource persons) such as stories of themselves in yesteryears or sharing of personal memorabilia about the Singapore they knew as children.
Plans in 2015 & Beyond
Following a very successful pilot run last year, SLT NMS outreach in 2015 will reach out to 1,600 pre-schoolers from 40 schools
A new pilot programme titled SLT Mother Tongue (SLT MT) will be launched for pre- school teachers who are teaching the Chinese, Tamil and Malay languages. • A total of 28 centres have registered for this pilot programme • The teacher training will be modelled after the SLT NMS training format and will involve visits to the heritage institutions (HIs) under NHB, namely the Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall, the Malay Heritage Centre and the recently launched Indian Heritage Centre. It is aimed at enhancing cross-cultural understanding • Three learning kits will be produced for all three HIs. Each kit will contain three heritage objects that will enable teachers to explore stories of each ethnic group and their connection to early Singapore.
Chinese Heritage Objects Pocket watch, straw hat and name seal
Malay Heritage Objects Wayang kulit, tanjak (headgear) and jongkong (ingot)
Indian Heritage Objects Traditional Headgears, Printing Press Stamp, Bharatanatyam Anklet
The aim is to reach out to 14,000 pre-schoolers by 2018 and enhance their heritage awareness through the use of the SLT learning kits.
In the long-term, we hope to build up a community of pre-school teachers able to use creative approaches to help young children explore Singapore’s history and heritage.
