The mid-year school holidays start today. Ministry of Education, Singapore decided to bring this forward by a month, to give a break to teachers, parents, students and family members who have had to adjust to home-based learning during the circuit breaker period.

You may not be able to head outside yet, but I hope families will use this time to bond over activities at home. MOE is posting a stay-home activity idea on their Facebook Page every day. National Library Board, Singapore librarians are holding weekday storytelling sessions for young children in the four languages on Facebook (https://go.gov.sg/41j0t4).

Some students taking their national exams this year will be returning to school on 19 May. But for the rest, as and when schools can safely reopen, I am sure everyone is looking forward to seeing their classmates and teachers in person again. – LHL
