Sarah, who is in Primary 2, drew up a 1-week Time-Table, and put in all the places she wanted to go for the week.  Her plan's not too bad and we had quite a bit of fun for the week.  We share this plan with you - try it out yourself!

Day 1: Trip to the Singapore Airport.  Timmy was especially interested in the Aeroplanes, the Choo-choo Train and the SkyTrain. And of course the lunch treat at KFC.

Day 2: The Singapore Science Centre
This was really fun.  We did not have time to fully cover everything.  Of special mention would be the "Discovery Zone". This hands-on children's science exhibition is designed for children between 4-12 years, but even Timmy had great fun there! The children loved the shadow screen, making music by movements/lights, waterplay and especially the air-pressure  message tunnel!

Day 3: Swimming
We went to the Jurong East Swimming Complex.  Situated opposite the Chinese Garden, this has a Lazy River, tube slides, wave pool, mushroom pool, fun-filled playpool. The older kids went literally wild, but I must say that Timmy being younger was not quite as adventurous. He was a little overwhelmed by the waterguns, waves, fountains and clung to me all the time.  After an hour or so, he even refused to do anything and asked to eat ice-cream only!  You could also check out the Choa Chu Kang pool which Sarah
loves.

Day 4: The Zoo
As always, we went to the zoo, a perennial favourite with the children.  Convenient too as it's near our home and  we are "Friends of the Zoo". We also recently renewed our membership to include the Bird Park at no extra cost - really good value for money. Especially when you have young children and do not wish to cover the whole park in one day.  Each time we go, we would plan to cover only one section of the zoo a time, spending only 2 to 3 hours at most, so that neither we nor the children get too tired out.  There's just so much to do there!  And now that Sarah is older, she really enjoys reading up about all these animals.  Each time she seems to discover something new!

Day 5: The Park
Went to Sembawang Park which is near the Seaside (Johor Straits).  Cool & breezy.  The children enjoyed cycling up the little "hills" and around the park.   There are many mature trees in this park. Would be very good grounds to explore the different types of leaves, patterns, groupings, etc.

Day 6: Movie Treat
We had booked a whole cinema for 68 at Orchard Cineplex to watch the popular "I Not Stupid" by Jack Neo.  This was organised by the Asia Parents' Group.  It was a really funny movie!

All-in, it was an enjoyable week-long holiday with the children.  And...there were still places that we had not managed to go to!
