With the end of October in sight, this writer is confident that Mariah Carey and Michael Bublé are slowly defrosting and will very soon be making their vocal appearance with Christmas carols in every mall in Singapore. That's right, very soon festive activities will be upon us, but until then, there is still plenty to entertain the family with. This week, be sure to check out the upcoming Japanese Film Festival, as well as exciting events in the museums.
No one knows what the future holds but we can always prepare the little ones to thrive in them. Enter PCF Sparkletots Future Ready Fair, where the kids can learn and explore the different elements of a STEM education with activity workshops that encourage hands-on learning , including playing with tech toys, participating in Stemie tales storytelling, and badge making. Start them young by inculcating a love for the sciences and nurture an undying curiosity for life-long learning.
