This program provides opportunities for SAS Elementary students to learn Mandarin in a fun playing environment. Students will be engaged in activities that are rich in visual cues and focus on developing communicative enjoyment and confidence. The main focus will be speech using lots of exciting hands-on activities. The program has been designed as a continuous three term curriculum and students are encouraged to participate for the entire three terms to get maximum benefit from the program.

Did you grow up reading Madeline? Watching French soc-cer or the Tour de France on TV? Love to eat at local French eateries? Maybe you’ve been lucky enough to visit or even live in France or another French-speaking country. If so, then you have an idea of how rich and varied French culture is, from food, traditions and sports to literature, music and film. Of all countries in the world, France is #1 in visits by tourists, and French is spoken in 60 different countries throughout the world. In this class we will ex-plore the many facets of French culture in a fun and hands-

on context, while learning some basics of the language as well. Join us every Wednesday for a fresh foray into the world of French and Francophone culture and language. If you aren’t currently a Francophile (lover of all things French), you will be after taking this class!

Come along and have fun learning Irish Dancing! In this beginner class, you will first learn a reel, and progress through to the light jig and hop jig dances. In some classes, we also work on specific skills to sharpen up your steps. Most dancers are able to perform on stage towards the end of the first year. Dancers can progress onto higher levels which include learning choreo-graphed group dances and hard shoe dancing. As dancers progress, there are many opportunities to perform at both school and public events. The Irish Dancing teacher is Sharon Pawley (Hedigan) who danced competitively in the UK and Ireland for 15 years, and has taught in Singapore since 2005.

Imagine more...drama (KG)

In Imagine More Drama children will be planning, performing and creating a show of their own creation. They will start by choosing a song to interpret artistically, that is, by using their voice, dancing and moving creatively, producing sounds, creating costumes, props and scenery. As there are only 8 sessions the children will likely not be able to finish the project but their experience will create an awareness about what it takes to create a show and a desire to learn more. We will be visiting the backstage of SAS high school theatre for an exposure to a professional setting which will hopefully inspire and create further curiosity in the children about artistic perform-ance. Their learning journey will be documented and shared with parents. In the last session parents are invited to attend their performance in pro-gress. - Mrs. Gavin (Room P-213) Wednesdays 3:15—4:15

It is specifically designed for kids from 8-16 years old, yet sophisticated enough to be used as an introductory course to computer science at many universities. Kids learn to manipulate codes by snapping them together like Lego blocks. Through Scratch, kids can develop an advanced sense of reasoning, logic, pa-tience and persistence. Their creativity will be heightened through constructing their own interactive content, such as stories, games, music, and art. Plus, it's just FUN! What will your child create today?
