Endeavour Primary

The highly anticipated Malay Language inter-level competition is back this year! Previously held as a telematch, we've introduced a fresh and exciting twist inspired by the Amazing Race. This year’s competition features three stations where students must complete challenges that test their creativity, teamwork, and quick thinking, all while making learning Malay Language fun and engaging.

On Thursday, 29 August, we will be celebrating Teachers’ Day, and we are delighted to know that many of you are planning to visit your former teachers. Thank you for remembering and honouring your primary school teachers! 

If you plan to visit, we kindly request that you do so between 10:45 and 11:45 am. Please enter the school through Gate A, near the security post, and proceed directly to the Indoor Sports Hall (ISH).  Our students will begin dismissing from Endeavour Hall from 10:30 am onwards, which may take some time. Once Endeavour Hall has been vacated, an announcement will be made inviting you to proceed there to meet your teachers.

To ensure the smooth operation of the event, we ask that you refrain from entering other parts of the school. We greatly appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

🇸🇬 A Thrilling Celebration of Singapore's 59th birthday Primary! 🎉🎉🎉

From Monday 5th August 2024, an array of activities left everyone buzzing with excitement.
Our library transformed into a vibrant hub with immersive experiences for our students, as they journeyed through Singapore’s rich history unique corners & stations. One example is the Singapore Snapshot, where students were captivated by engaging videos detailing Singapore’s storied past.

The excitement hit a crescendo yesterday when we had the pleasure of having some students and staff from Rainbow Centre Admiral Hill School join us for our National Day Celebration. The specially crafted dance video from our Rainbow Centre friends was met with enthusiastic applause.

The school leaders exchanged tokens, as we welcome Rainbow Centre Admiral Hill School into our community. A heartwarming moment, and very fitting to the theme for this year's celebrations, 🇸🇬 "Together, As One United People" 🇸🇬 🎉

🌍✨ This Saturday, our amazing Endeavour Brownies Girl Guides took to the library to champion recycling and environmental stewardship! They engaged with the community, sharing tips and inspiring others to make a difference.

The highlight? Everyone had the chance to write their own pledge to protect our planet. Together, we're making big strides toward a greener future! 🌱💪

Reimagining waste into wonder! 🌱✨ 🌍✨ Our talented Brownies Girl Guides have turned recycled materials into incredible works of art, proving that creativity and sustainability go hand in hand. Each piece tells a story of innovation and care for our planet. These innovative artworks remind us that every item has a second life and every small effort counts. Let's celebrate the beauty of recycling and the power of young minds to make a difference.

Come and drop by Sembawang Library at Sun Plaza tomorrow, 3 Aug from 11am to 1pm and meet our Brownies sharing their innovative artwork. Take a pledge of sustainable future and drop it into the toadstool 🍄 "

“What would you do if you saw a Chinese classmate being teased for not knowing how to use chopsticks?” This is one of many scenarios that our students discussed on 19 July to commemorate Racial Harmony Day.

22 July, 🌈 Rainbow Day 3-cum-Racial Harmony Day concert by our Primary 2 students.

Everyone came dressed for the occasion. The P2 students put up a wonderful show, with a tapestry of dances from the different ethnic groups. The theme this year, 'Singapore: Our Multicultural Mosaic', puts the emphasis on the rich diversity that makes up our multicultural society. This diversity contributes to our shared sense of harmony and cohesion.

Our Drama Club students squealed in glee on this humorous musical adventure with the three intelligent little pigs as they outwit the big bad wolf. Through this adapted classic fairy tale, they learn how success can be achieved through hard work and perseverance. What a delightful afternoon spent at KC Arts Centre!

A day to remember for Endeavour Primary Chinese Dance CCA as we were invited to perform at the Istana Open House 2024 today. The girls were excited and looking forward to this day.

We had awesome support from the visitors who came to the Istana. Definitely a moment to cherish for the girls in the Chinese Dance CCA.

ENDEAVOUR ALL THE WAY...

Events and activities leading up to 21July, Racial Harmony Day...

Did you manage to join us for some of these activities? Come and join us @ the library on Monday if you didn't manage to last week.

Do you know why we are having these activities and why this special day is commemorated in schools?

As we enjoy Singapore's unique diversity of festivals, food and games, we are reminded not to take today's peace and harmony for granted. While we embrace our own cultural roots, we also need to respect one another and appreciate that this diversity is the result of these differences in the cultures of our different communities.

The P4's #2 cohort learning journey this year...visiting Geylang Serai Heritage Gallery (GSHG), to learn about the area's history and heritage, as well as it's significance to the Malay and Muslim communities in Singapore. We learnt how the Malay and Muslim communities have contributed to Singapore's development.

We also visited the pasar (market) and had the chance to play some games from yesteryear.

We are honoured to be able to host Dr Maliki Osman today to join us in a series of kampong games to commemorate Racial Harmony Day. Check out the post below. 😀

The Malay Language Learning and Promotion Committee (MLLPC) event, Santunan Fiesta 2024, themed "Adab is Sown, Budi is Reaped," had an incredible atmosphere last Saturday. Our EDP Malay pupils participated in the booth games, delighting in traditional games and learning about Malay culture. They enjoyed interacting with the booth facilitators. The highlight of the event was their participation in setting a record for the most zapin dance performances. The dance moves reinforced the importance of practicing good etiquette in daily life.

They attended dance workshops of different genres, and it was definitely a rich learning experience for our EDP dancers.

Our dancers from the Malay Dance and Chinese Dance group collaborated with Northoaks Primary to perform a dance item to the hip-hop genre.

The finale was the performance from all N2 Cluster Schools dancing their way to the song Permission to Dance.

Endeavour All the Way!!!

What a fantastic way to start the school holiday!

Endeavour Primary School Choir and Northoaks Primary School Choir had a combined Cluster Choir Camp on 27 & 28 May 2024 at Endeavour Primary School.

The Choir Camp builds and strengthens friendships in our young singers. The camp combined the fun of team building activities and music making.

🌟 **Whispers of the Ancients: A Journey in Ink** 🌟

🎉 Greetings to all! 🎉 The Chinese Language Department took P4 students on an adventure back in time, beckoning them to dance with ancient echoes during our Cultural Camp! 🚀✨

🔍 **Oracle Bones Awakened!* Our young scribes unravelled the enigma of Oracle bone script with mind-bending animations! 🤯 They cracked the code on how our ancestors communicated.

🌟 **Writing The Virtue Glyphs!** 🌟
We spotlighted five Chinese characters, each a starburst of moral luminescence:

1. **德 (Virtue)**: The ultimate moral compass. A halo spun from noble deeds. 😇
2. **学 (Learning)**: Knowledge is power. Pathways to enlightenment! 📚🔥
3. **孝 (Filial Piety)**: A dance of respect, twirling through generations. It's a way of life.🙏👵👴
4. **仁 (Benevolence)**: Hearts aflame, spread kindness like confetti! 🎊
5. **信 (Trust)**: A bridge woven across time – these characters have each other's back. 🤝💯

🖋️ **Bamboo Scrolls: Whispers of Eternity!** 🖋️
With new understanding, our students learned how these glyphs are etched on bamboo slips – the writing system that dates back thousands of years!

P4 malay pupils were given the opportunity to learn about traditional Malay musical instruments 🎵, specifically the gamelan, which has been practiced and played since the era of the Malay Sultanate.
Gamelan is a traditional ensemble music from Java and Bali in Indonesia, composed predominantly of percussive instruments. The instruments in a gamelan ensemble are tuned to complement each other, creating a rich and harmonious sound. The music is typically performed at ceremonies, rituals, and cultural events. By being exposed to gamelan during P4 cultural camp, pupils have the opportunity to connect with this historical art form, understand its cultural significance, and appreciate the traditional practices of the Malay community.

🌟 Endeavour Primary School is proud to collaborate with the Central Narcotics Bureau for a meaningful assembly talk in commemoration of Drug Victims Remembrance Day on 17 May. 🌟

Together, we are raising awareness about the impact of drug abuse through these activities:
🎗️ Ribbon Folding: Students will create ribbons as a symbol of hope and solidarity.
🖼️ Wall Montage: A dedicated space where these ribbons and messages of support are displayed.

🌟✨✏️ EDP teachers embarked on an ancient writing journey with our little ones during the WOW week! 📜🖌️ Our Primary 1-3 students delved into the depths of their heritage through the beauty of Malay Jawi, Tamil Brahmi, and Chinese oracle bone writing. 🌺🌿 Immersed in the art of writing with a brush pen, our young explorers discovered the magic of their mother tongue languages. 🎨💫 Through swirling strokes and intricate characters, they uncovered the stories of their ancestors and the rich tapestry of their ethnic roots. 🌏🌟 Join us in celebrating the vibrant colors of diversity and the beauty of identity through the power of words. 📚🎉 ❤️🌟

[P.S. The campfire video quality might not be crystal clear, but it was captured at night to preserve those magical moments under the stars. 🌟 Embrace the nostalgia as it serves as cherished memories for our students!]

Primary 5 Camp Resilience Campfire was on Thursday, 9th of May 2024. The campfire is usually the highlight of every camp. It is a day for the students to show their talents and abilities and put up performances and enjoy themselves at the same time.

The students also did not hold themselves back. Instead, they were enthusiastic to show off their talents and abilities and performed for the audiences.

The campfire was lighted by our GOH, Mr Thomas Koh, Principal of Endeavour Primary School. Together with our Vice Principal, Ms Fauziah, and other teachers and staff from the school, they graced the campfire with their presence. Thank you for your presence and for putting aside your busy schedule to be with us at this very remote location. Your support is greatly appreciated.

Kreta Ayer Heritage Gallery (KAHG), which opened in 2019, showcases the different aspects of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of the Chinese community in Singapore. There was a concentration of teahouses, opera theatres and various cultural forms (e.g. Nanyin music, Chinese puppetry & calligraphy) in the 19th & 20th centuries in Kreta Ayer.

Today, it is considered the cultural heartland of Chinatown. Our Primary 4 students learn how the Chinese community has contributed to the development of Singapore on their recent visit to Kreta Ayer.
