FNg:

Hi TAS,


I want to sign my child up for your classes but I am not sure about

the next year's class schedule in school. However, if I wait till

next year, would it be too late? I heard from your admin person that

some of the classes are full already. Can I pay the deposit and see if I can

fit into the classes next year when the class schedule is out? But

if the schedule clashes in the end, could I withdraw and take out

my deposit?

Hi FNg,

Sure, you can pay for the registration fee and book a tentative
class timing for your child but if in the end, you want to
withdraw, I'm afraid we cannot give you back the registration
fee. Perhaps you could email or call us to let us know
which class timing you are interested in and confirm with us the slot
the earliest you can by next January?

Hi TAS,

It is great to hear the centre can move in earlier than expected.

Yes, we are happy we can do so earlier too.

The Alternative Story:

Hi littlewoman,buds and parents who want to know more about our
Science Toy Making programme,

This programme is part of our community service programme arm.
Our community service programmes are held at Heart of God
church. We believe in giving back to the community and hence
we provide both English and Science educational activities for
free for Heart of God children's church programme. Our founder is
from this church and hence we provide these activities for their
children's programme. These activities are open to non-TAS and
non Heart of God church members as well.

This Science Toy making activity compromises of a few science
activities:

1) Science Toy Making (concept: Elastic Potential Energy)
- The children will get to see how certain toys make use of
the concept of Elastic Potential Energy to propel the toys
upwards and forward and they will make their own
toys based on these concepts after that. They will also
get to bring home a Science Toy after that.

2) Ice-cream making (concept: salt lowers freezing
point of water)
-The children will make their own ice-cream and we will
teach them how science is used to help ice-cream form.

3) Instant snow making (concept: how a special polymer can make
what seems like snow form)
- The children will get to touch and feel this instant 'snow'

There will be games and character building lessons using bible
stories which are provided by Heart of God church. We are only
responsible for the educational activities.

Time: 2-4 pm/5-7 pm

Date: 25 December (Saturday)

Venue: Paya Lebar Singapore Post at Heart of God church, not
to be confused with our East branch. The East branch is nearer
Delifrance, Heart of God church is nearer Coffeebean.

OR

Time: 4.30 pm - 7pm

Date: 24 December (Friday)

Venue: Our Yishun centre (we will provide the educational activities and
there will be games and a character building lesson organized by
volunteers from Heart of God church that will be held there, we also
organize our community service programmes there as we do not want
our Yishun kids to lose out on having them, we are unable to carry
out similar activities at Bukit Timah as we do not have enough
manpower)

If you want to reserve a place for your child, you can call us or email us.

Hi TAS,

Hi TAS,


Pls reserve 3 slots for me for the 25 dec 2-4 pm slot for Science Toy Making programme. I will email you my child's name and my friends' children's names by tonight. One of the kids is 5 year old, can a 5 year join? If cannot, then just take it as 2 slots.

Thank you

Hi FNg,

It is either 2-4 pm or 5-7 pm. You would need to choose one slot.

The 2-4 pm slot is more suitable for older kids (P3-P6).

The 5-7 pm slot is more suitable for younger kids (K1- P3)

Hi littlewoman,

Sure, we will reserve 3 slots for you. 5 year olds can join the activity.

However the 2-4 pm slot is more suitable for older kids (P3 - P6).

But we do have younger kids coming because they cannot make it
for the second slot (5-7pm)
