NES celebrates Singapore’s National Day in August. 🇸🇬🌿
At Nature Explorers School, we believe that loving our country also means learning to listen to its stories, especially the ones quietly held within our green landscapes, forests and natural spaces. Our forests are more than just places to explore. They hold traces of our past, stories that are sometimes forgotten, and reminders of the journey Singapore has taken to become the nation it is today.
This National Day, our children gathered to talk about the recent developments surrounding Maju Forest, what these changes might mean for Singapore’s future, and what they hope to see in the years ahead.
And they had so many hopes and dreams. 💭🇸🇬 For a Singapore filled with nature, love, kindness, understanding and care for one another. Perhaps this is what it means to celebrate our future is not simply by looking ahead, but by listening to the voices of the children who will one day lead us there. If we nurture them well, guide them with wisdom, and give them opportunities to play, question, care and dream, they will grow into the leaders who carry Singapore forward, towards a future that is not only successful and prosperous, but also one filled with love, empathy and kindness. ❤️
Happy 61st National Day, Singapore! 🇸🇬🌳
