Hi parents,
TAS will be moving to our new AMK location:
Blk 703 Ang Mo Kio Ave 8 #01-2535
We will not be having our Yishun centre anymore. Lessons will be held at our AMK branch from this friday, 14th Jan 2011, onwards.
FYI: Please enter from the back entrance into TAS. We are above Blue Max Dvd shop.
Christmas 2010
TAS believe strongly in giving back to the community and hence
as a whole centre, we are involved in community work. We do our
community work through the church that the founder of the
centre is from-Heart of God church. We organize and run the
educational activities for the Heart of God church's children's church.
These programmes are what we do as part of our volunteer work and we do them
for free to help the community. This is strictly part of our
community service and not part of our normal programmes.
Our normal regular lessons have nothing to do with the church.
These community service programmes are what we do above our
normal programmes, so far, we have opened these
programmes to the members of the church, TAS students
and their friends.
However, as they are meant to benefit the community in general,
we actually do open them up to anyone who is interested.
Through these programmes, we want the children to realze that
learning can be enjoyable and we want to inculcate in them a love for knowledge.
2010 Christmas Event :
A trip to the North Pole
For this event, we will be educating the children on various Science concepts and have some hands-on experiments for the children to learn and have fun.
1. Design your own toy car
This involves the concept of Elastic Potential Energy
Children are required to design and create their own toy car incoporating this concept.
2. Instant Snow
This involves the concept of certain chemical bonds between polymers.
Children will witness the magic of creating instant snow and even get a chance to make some for themselves!
3. Make your own icecream
This involves the concept of salt lowering the melting point of ice.
Children will get to do some hands-on experiment to make their own icecream. They will walk away with various favours of icecream, each to their own liking!
Besides learning such useful and interesting Sci concepts, there will be sing along sessions and character building through bible stories.
This event is free of charge to the public.
Date : 25th Dec 2010 (Sat)
Timing : 2-4pm (P4 - P6) OR 5-7pm (P1 - P3)
For registration and more information, you may drop us an email at thealternativestory.gmail.com or call us at 67588744.
TAS wishes everyone a very merry christmas! :)

Hi Everyone,
TAS believe strongly in giving back to the community and hence
as a whole centre, we are involved in community work. We do our
community work through the church that the founder of the
centre is from-Heart of God church. We organize and run the
educational activities for the Heart of God church's children's church.
These programmes are what we do as part of our volunteer work and we do them
for free to help the community. This is strictly part of our
community service and not part of our normal programmes.
Our normal regular lessons have nothing to do with the church.
These community service programmes are what we do above our
normal programmes, so far, we have opened these
programmes to the members of the church, TAS students
and their friends.
However, as they are meant to benefit the community in general,
we actually do open them up to anyone who is interested.
Through these programmes, we want the children to realize that
learning can be enjoyable and we want to inculcate in them a love
for the English Langauge.
These are some of the programmes we have/had for 2010:
1) Creative Writing Camp
- We had a creative writing camp from Nov 24- Nov 26. We
taught the children some creative writing techniques during the
camp organised by the children's church. The focus during the camp
was more on team building games, the creative writing activities
were an add-on to the the team building activities.
2) Spelling Bee Competition
- This is an on-going programme we have until Dec 18.
In this programme, we teach the children how to love and
learn the spelling of difficult/easily missspelt words like -
'gynaecologist', 'symptom' etc. We do this by using
rhythms and raps to make the learning easy.
Spelling is an area that some children are weak in and this
affects their composition, however we cannot use much of the
tuition lesson time to go through spelling, hence we want to use
this programme to inspire the children to learn their spelling well.
The children will have a spelling bee booklet to take home and
they can revise the words at home as well.
The winner of the programme will get $100 worth of prizes. We often
reward the winners of these programmes as we want to motivate
the children to do well and take the programmes seriously as well.
2011 programmes:
1) Word Wizard
This programme will focus on building the vocabulary of the
children. We will teach the children the synonyms of words
commonly used in compositions like 'darkness', 'fear' etc.
We believe that vocabulary is an area that many children
need help in building up and there is an endless amount
of words they need to know to do well in both paper 1 and 2
and hence we provide this programme to boost up the
vocabulary of the students. The children will also get
a vocabulary booklet to bring home to revise.
2) Write a book programme
Those who do well under the Word Wizard programme will have a
chance to join this programme. In this programme, we specially
mentor and teach budding writers. We will get them to write a stories
and if their story is good enough, we might publish their
story as a short novel. The stories here are not the ones
that are used to write for school compositions as they
are meant to be more creative and out-of-the-box.
In this way, we want to inspire and show children that they too can
write well enough to publish a short story of their own and be a young
author.
Details of these programmes:
These programmes are all held in the first part of the children's
church programme, after this programme, the children have
games and character building lessons (bible stories are used to teach
them values). We are only responsible for the educational
programmes.
Timing: 2-4 pm (every saturday)-for P3-P6/5-7 pm
(every saturday)-for K2-P3

67588744 or drop us an email.
