If you are looking are some activities – and freebies! – to look forward to during the PSLE marking days 2018, we’ve got some specials for you here!

Believer Music Adventure Camp – Exposure to a Variety of Instruments, Including Drums!
Many studies have shown the extensive benefits of music education in children, from positive social interaction to improved cognitive function. Enter Believer Music, the leading music centre in Singapore with state-of-the-art studios islandwide. As advocates of music education for young and old, they have impacted thousands through the power of music.
This year – during the PSLE 2018 Marking Days from 15 to 18 October – Believer Music has specially designed day workshops for students ages 8 to 16 to learn to play FOUR instruments each. Conducted over two days, the Believer Music Adventure Camp is one-of-a-kind, with unparalleled content and delivery.
The Believer Music Adventure Camp workshops will cater to two different age groups: the 8 to 11 year olds will experience the cajon, ukelele, keyboard, and also receive vocal training; while the 12 to 16 year olds will learn the drums, guitar, keyboard, in addition to vocal lessons. A musical journey like none other, sign your child up for the Believer Music Adventure Camp today! He’ll have lots to share with his friends when he returns to school the week after – like the ability to play a new instrument.

Wildlife Reserves Singapore
October is not only the month when the PSLE ends but when Children’s Day takes place! In celebration of children, Wildlife Reserves Singapore (WRS) is inviting them to enter Jurong Bird Park, River Safari, and Singapore Zoo for free – with every full price adult ticket purchased – from 1 to 31 October – which of course includes the PSLE Marking Days 2018!
As if complimentary entry isn’t an awesome enough treat, here are some extras to make the day out to the parks even better! On their visit, children can learn about becoming an eco-ranger, and take on the “Fight the Deadliest Monster Trail” at River Safari or Jurong Bird Park. As they make their way through the trail, children will be educated on the threat of plastic waste to wildlife, and they can pledge to do their part to combat plastic pollution. Upon completion, they stand to receive a delightful “Little Otter, Litter Trouble” book.
Also, keep an eye out for the parks’ favourite wildlife mascots and score Instagram-worthy shots with them when you’re visiting the parks! For more information on ticketing and showtimes, go here.
