Science Centre School holiday activities

[ Media Invite ]

Singapore Science Centre School holiday activities aim to kids entertained and learn a thing or two along the way.

Our favourite two attractions are the butterflies and Snow City.

Fun Fair Maths
A temporary exhibit for the month of June. Through interaction and investigation, kids will explore the “fun” side of Maths.

Tie up your dogs “properly” :p

A maze which cannot turn left (this was tough!)

Odd shape bicycle wheels, yet can pedal? Marbles which defy gravity.

Amazing tiles, every piece looks different yet symmetric. They can all mix and match despite their odd shapes. There is a term for this, “Tessellate”. (Hint: aim the primate head under armpit)

Musical, Prime numbers exploration.

Funny mirror, who can resists the concave and convex portraits :p
There are more activities, we did not list everythig.

Ocean Buddies at KidsSTOP
Kid can personalise their own sea creatures and throw them into the huge digital “sea”!

Occulus was popular with the kids. Imagine a VR world, riding a roller coaster in your bedroom 🙂

Kids engaged in some digital colouring and projection.

How can we miss J Slide 🙂

Butterflies Up-Close
Butterfly enclosure is latest exhibit at Science Centre, take note a separate entrance fee applies.

Learn more about butterflies (and moths)

Witness caterpillar transform into chrysalis, ignore Daddy crazy stunt.

Butterflies galore, some 500 of them. We heard the lifespan is only two weeks!

Do checkout the impressive migration of the Monarch butterflies.

Snow city
We can do with some cool temperate, snow and igloo most welcome.

If you need more excuse, how about sliding down the 60m snow slope in a rubber float? (video below)

Chuggington Live!

[ Media Invite ]

We join Wilson, Koko and Brewster as they trained to be Chiefs last week.
With “Chuggington Live! The Great Rescue Adventure”, it was the first time we saw so many of our favourite train characters on stage!

I did remember the kids being more enthusiastic, dancing along, and shouting “Toot Too” last time.
Have they outgrown their Chuggington cartoon and toys already?

Chuggington Live! is a stage performance, trains and crew will sing together, tunes after tunes.
Plenty of train whistles will be injected too, a new musical adventure awaits.

While the trains roll about on stage, the LED screen behind projects another dimension of the stage to audience. You might see a depot, or even trains racing across the green meadows.

Along the track, audience follow the trainess as they underwent 3 rescue scenarios.
Coincidentally, some of the rules can be applied at home too.

Number 1 rule – Keep the track safe
Similarly, we need to keep our own toys after playing, to prevent people from falling over, and to nurture a sense of ownership and responsibility.

Number 2 Rule – Stop and think ( do not rush)
We always remind the kids to stay Calm and use their brain. Do things with a purpose and an objective.
The worst thing we can do during an emergency is to lose our composure and go into panic mode.

On stage, the trainees learn to repair the track, tow a broken Friend and cleaned some oil spillage.
These are some of the tests which they need to pass.

Speedy Koko had to learn about “Booster off and brake” in order to slow down safely.
His fellow friends guided him to slow down with the correct technique and avoided an accident.

When Koko fell into a pit, his friends had to think of ways to extricate him from the dangerous mine.

From the trainees, we see themes like collaboration, life long learning, and an earnest desire to improve their experience and exposure.
Similarly, I remind the kids that we must not rest on our laurels, and we should always think of ways to improve ourselves, and help the less fortunate.
