Our Learning Journey to the Japanese Cemetery

0632 participated in a learning journey on 19 may 2007, with teacher-in-charge, Mr. Ng How Wee. The site was the Japanese cemetery along Chuan Hoe Ave.

We studied the inscriptions on the tombstones and learnt about the war atrocities committed by the Japanese during their occupation in Singapore. They also learnt of the hardship and suffering which their grandparents went through.

 

 

The learning journey was highly beneficial and insightful. We have enhanced our knowledge of national history in the process. More importantly, we were also struck by how Singapore has battled against the odds to become a small but powerful nation. This is based on one of the 6 NE keys ideas that ˇ°We must ourselves defend Singapore. No one else is responsible for our security and well-being.ˇ±
