Chasing Curiosity in China
By Ms Chua Zheng Yi Jane
Kheng Cheng School
These photos show how my students stepped out of their classrooms and into a world of wonder.
In Shanghai and Suzhou, every street, museum and garden became a place to learn. From observing koi in a garden pond in Suzhou’s Museum to posing under lanterns in an alley, each snapshot reflects their growth and joy.
Whether laughing at new discoveries or learning to navigate cultural differences, they show how learning comes live in unexpected ways. This was more than a trip; it was a journey of hearts, minds and friendships.

Walls That Teach, Spaces That Inspire

At Telok Kurau Primary, every wall tells a story and every space invites learning.
Through our Learning Space Catalyst initiative, we turn school areas into vibrant zones where the environment acts as the third teacher. Students explore Science through Plant Reproduction and Digestive System walls, and learn about sustainability at the Green Roof. Spaces like Music Symphony and Artistry in Motion spark creativity. The Healthy Eating Wall promotes well-being.
These environments empower students to take ownership of their learning journeys and encourage curiosity, conversation, and reflection beyond the classroom.

Growing Together

Anything is possible with friends by our side.
Through shared experiences, learning becomes more than just gaining knowledge; it opens a world of possibilities. From field days to school events and excursions, children explore new places and build friendships that spark curiosity. With peers, learning feels like an exciting journey.
These experiences help to create deeper connections not only with friends, but with what they learn. As friendships grow and confidence rises, children are empowered to explore ideas and embrace the endless possibilities around them.
