TWPS SEC's Showcase at 2010 Garden Festival



















The Singapore Garden Festival, the garden show in the tropics to showcase creations from the world’s top award-winning garden and international floral designers, returned to the Suntec International Convention and Exhibition Centre from 15th July to the 22nd July 2010.

We felt honoured to be given an opportunity to showcase our club's activities and works at the Singapore Garden Festival on the 21st of July! We set up a booth in the exhibition hall, and our pupil presenters introduced our club to the public. The public was impressed that we've a Green Club in the school, and gardens to cultivate on. Brochures, potpourri sachets and goodie bags were given away to the public.

We were thankful of the opportunity given to us, and also for the support given by the PSG group, Ms Chin, our Principal and Vice-Principal, Mdm Janice and not to forget Mr Zaki, our IT aid and photographer!

Achievement in Interschool Floral Arrangement Competition



















































In conjunction with the Singapore Garden Festival, Nanyang Primary School jointly organised the 8th Inter-School Creative Floral Art Competition together with the National Parks Board. It was held at the Suntec International Convention and Exhibition Centre on the 17th of July. We had three members participated in the competition. This year, the participants were given a surprise package of flowers, with a free choice of theme so as to provide a greater opportunity for the participants to express themselves freely. One of our members, Xie Huiting, was awarded Second Runnerup! All the three participants' floral arrangement, including the other members, Zheng Yating and Lim Shuxuan, were displayed at the Singapore Garden Festival till 22nd of July!

Achievement in Community In Bloom Competition

This year, we participated in the Community In Bloom competition again. With the addition of our new Community Garden, we were honoured to be conferred the Platinum Award! It's a combined effort of our Club, together with the PSG group, the Brownies and the Scouts, the Student CIP Green Officers and other pupils and teachers who helped. Hooray and a big THANK YOU to All!

Open House and Celebration of Success on 2nd July I

We had the Open House and Celebration of Success event on the 2nd of July. On that day, groups of kids from three Kindergartens visited our school. Our club set up booths near the Community Garden, with activities ready for the kids to try hands-on. Though due to rain, the kids did not visit the Science Garden, we set up a small experiential classroom  for the kids to observe some plants and animals. With the guide of our members, the kids had a wonderful time observing and learning about the plants and animals.

The club prepared a scarecrow and additional suncatchers for the event. The members had made quite a number of suncatchers before, out of the recycled bottles, but this was the first time they tried on the scarecrow. Materials used included the bamboo sticks, gloves and recycled plastics, used cap and T-shirt would be put on later.
