Every year, MOE arranges for Primary 5 students to watch the full-dress rehearsals of Singapore National Day parade. Called the National Education Show (NE Show), students attend these previews as part of Citizenship & Character Education as well as Social Studies curriculum. As each preview is a full-dress rehearsal, students experience the full works of the actual parade to be held on 9 August every year.
Primary 5 students from Edgefield Primary School attended the NE Show on 14 July 2018. Students imagined that they were photojournalists who had been invited to attend the NE Show 2018 to take photos.
Thereafter, they selected ONE photo that best captured a moment in time of an individual or people celebrating Singapore as an independent nation. They also had to provide a suitable caption and complete a write-up for this photo to further explain the event or situation to their readers.
This was the final stage of several lessons on photojournalism which integrated English Language, Citizenship & Character Education, Social Studies and Edgefield’s Lifelong Learning Programme, Photography.
I would like to congratulate the students of Primary 5 Grace (2018) for having their photographs and write-ups published in this book. Look into the distance; look beyond yourselves; and capture even better pictures for your future.
Mr David Yong
