The presentation of our unit on transportation focuses on its central idea, 'forms of transportation', presently.

In connection with that, we arranged visits to the Land Transport Authority and the SAF Museum so the children could view the forms of transport, used in Singapore.

LTA was only able to offer us a date at the end of October to visit them, so we went with the SAF Museum first.

A very interesting visit - we saw the kinds of transportation the SAF uses for not only its own purposes but also for assisting in civilian life, i.e. evacuations, aid and food relief, and so on.

The children and their teachers, enjoyed the trip, thoroughly.

Quick question:  our idea is to offer the children a ride on an MRT train after our visit to the LTA.  Would you like to share your thoughts on this?  Do write to broadrick@montessori.edu.sg
