The Alternative Story

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.
