The story of our national symbols is told through the lives and relationships of families and children that lived during Singapore's post-war to nation-building years. Children will learn about the struggles, obstacles and challenges that Singapore faced in her early years as a self-governing state.
This fun and engaging show is available free for NHB School Members (primary schools and equivalent)*. The show was launched on 3rd December 2009, in conjunction with the official launch of the Project 3/12 - A Nation Remembers travelling exhibition and the National Symbols kit (2009). Bookings are open now until June 2010 on a first-come-first-served basis. Accompanying each show is a specially-designed Teachers' Resource Package which consists of pre- and post-show activities to facilitate students' learning.
