Vertical Farming

The second floor walkway above the Science Garden has now been repurposed into an area to support learning and literally bring new life and experiences for our Yuhualites. The area now houses two sets of Vertical Farms, able to grow and support vegetable crops that would usually need many more times the land space in traditional farms. In the future, Yuhualites would have the opportunity to experience this for themselves – to be responsible and resilient in taking care of their crops and enjoying the harvest of their labour, using a technology that has zero wastage, zero pesticides and pollutants, using minimal energy and water.

Yuhualites in the Community

On 1 February, our Yuhualite Chinese Dance group performed at the Yuhua CC Chinese New Year Mega Toss dinner event attended by Guest-of-Honour, Ms Grace Fu, MP for Yuhua SMC.

Our school’s Aesthetic Team teachers and Yuhualites from Primary 3 and 4 handmade
over 400 Chinese New Year – themed get-well-soon cards for patients at Ng Teng Fong and Jurong Community Hospital.

Our Primary Two and Upper Primary Yuhualites spent time and effort to fold origami cranes and hearts which symbolise well wishes and good luck. These were made into art pieces that were presented to Medico Clinic and the Wu Clinic on 30 June 2020.
This gesture represented our Yuhualites’ heartfelt gratitude to the healthcare workers for fighting against COVID-19 in the frontlines.

Photo Journalism

Learning took a different slant when the 2019 cohort of Primary 6 Yuhualites underwent a photojournalism workshop. The objective was to equip pupils with basic photography skills so as to capture pictures of places and objects around the school that carried special memories for them. Some of their best work have been compiled into photobooks and these are available in the Media Resources Library for fellow Yuhualites to browse.

Home Base Learning

The month-long full Home-Based Learning (fHBL) period which started on 8 April posed a steep learning curve for everyone. While the practice day in the week of 1 April gave us an idea of what to expect, FHBL came with its own set of challenges. Nevertheless, it was a time of learning for students and teachers alike. Stay home, stay
safe, stay curious – How did we do that?

Deepavali

The Deepavali celebration at Yuhua was held on 29 October 2019, a day after our Hindu friends celebrated their special day.

Chinese New Year

Excitement filled the air as we celebrated Chinese New Year together on 24 February 2020. Students learn how traditional practices take on a modern twist with the use of technology.

Hari Raya

This year’s Hari Raya Aidilfitri was truly one to remember, falling right in the midst of the Circuit Breaker period. Even with safe distancing measures and restrictions put in place,
everyone’s festive spirits were not dampened. Our Muslim friends made good use of technology, by ordering festive supplies online to prepare for the festivities, as well as keeping in touch with family and friends through video calls. Through mutual understanding, respect and resilience, everyone was able to celebrate Hari Raya safely while observing safe distancing measures.

Racial Harmony Day

On 14th July 2020, Yuhualites commemorated Racial Harmony Day. The theme for this year was Multiculturalism. Yuhualites were encouraged to embrace the diversity of our various ethnic cultures that together make us Singaporean.

National Day

On 7 August, Yuhualites commemorated National Day. As part of the celebrations, our Yuhualites were encouraged to contribute food which was then packed as gifts to be
distributed to families who needed support. The response was overwhelming and the school managed to prepare over 100 gift packs. These packs were then given to our partner, Yuhua Senior Activity Centre and Loving Heart (Social Service Agency in Yuhua Constituency) for distribution to the families who needed support.

TDD Complete / International Friendship Day

Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, TDD was celebrated differently this year. Our
Yuhualites were introduced to the Soaper 5 and the Wipe-Down routine.

For the very first time, a joint celebration of the Arts Festival and International Friendship Day was held virtually during the Circuit Breaker period. The theme for this year’s celebration was “Beyond Borders”. The importance of maintaining friendly relations among ASEAN countries was emphasized through videos, sing along sessions
and even an art competition.

Annual Prize Giving

Our 37th Annual Prize-Giving Day (APGD) was held on 17 July this year. The theme ‘Dare to Dream’ clearly resonated with our students. Students from P4 to P6 joined in the Prize-Giving Day by tuning in to the live broadcast from their classrooms. As the students watched their friends receive their awards, rapturous applause echoed from the classrooms.

Graduation Day (2019)

15 November 2019. Graduation. A day that represents the culmination of efforts of our Yuhualites over six primary school years.
