Many Stories - One Singapore

Please be reminded to bring a 4R photo that tells a story for NDP next week before Tues 30 July. You will need to bring a pair of scissors and glue on Tuesday You can refer to some of the samples below. I have included my photo (the last one here) - my story: it is a photo taken with my first batch of students in 1991 after we had completed the field studies at Sentosa. You can still see the ranging pole which we used to measure the beach profile in the foreground. The photo was taken at the ferry terminal which was already demolished. Many of the students in the pictures have their own kids now- one of them is a proud father of 3 and his children look so much like him!
