Me, My Body and I

**Activity: Wed, 23 Jan 2008, 3-4pm.

Today, the kids from PCF learnt a lot about their body - from their superb five senses right down to the skeletal structures within. Our volunteer Cindy put together a great session with the use of powerpoint slides, song and dance, and finally ending with a Make-your-own-skeleton crafts session. The kids really enjoyed it, judging from their enthusiasm!

Because we love Bats...

*Activity: Wed morning, 16 Jan 2008, 10-11am

Children from PCF and Kinsland Educare learned something about batty bats today. Our volunteer Rachel gave the kids a really unforgettable lesson on those creepy mammals. There was a storytelling session followed by an art and craft session where the children got to make batty masks for themselves! Really colourful indeed...

Bukit Timah residents now have a new Reading Club at the ground floor of the Bukit Timah Community Club at 20 Toh Yi Drive. The Reading Club will provide a safe and comfortable air-conditioned environment for children aged up to 12 years old to discover the joys of learning through books, as well as provide the facilities for reading-related activities, such as story-telling, dramatizations, movie screenings and much more.
The Reading Club is a community project jointly undertaken by the Bukit Timah grassroots organisations and the PAP Community Foundation. Run entirely by volunteers, it has already gathered more than 5,000 books as the result of a local book donation drive, and is funded by donations by various sponsors, including IKEA, the National Library Board, Singapore Asian Publications and Shing Lee Publications.

As the Club is located at the CC premises, it will leverage on existing facilities and courses at the CC to broaden the range of activities open to young readers. Through participation in the Reading Club, young readers can be introduced to cultural activities such as calligraphy, tea art appreciation and toastmaster events. This is part of the long-term plan to transform the Bukit Timah CC into a cultural and heritage hub for the region.

Parents are most welcome to join the Working Committee to have a say in the activities they wish to see for their children. In this way, the Reading Club aims to enhance the spirit of active citizenry and community bonding among residents, who will take ownership over the running of the Club.

Interested volunteers may contact the Working Committee at readingclub_bt@yahoo.com.sg or call 64662912.
