Little India Heritage Walk

I have only been to Little India twice, once with my students during a Social Studies field trip years ago and once with friends to a restaurant in Little India. I had the opportunity to go to Little India again. Thank goodness for a cloudy day, I was able to do some exploring. :)

Little India Learning Journey

On the day of their NAPFA test (Tuesday 17 July), Marieann's class went to Little India for their learning journey. It was the first time that Marieann has set foot in Little India and explored the area on foot. When I came home in the evening, she started telling me about the sights she saw and the stories about the Hindu gods and goddesses. She also showed me the henna that was drawn on her hand. She enjoyed herself very much. I am really glad that she has gotten something out of this learning journey - new knowledge and henna lol.
