Hi stephlam and welcome! :rahrah:
My P2 now battling exams.. can't wait for it to be over..
Would be good to hear from parents with regards to good science classes, I am 'standby-ing' to put my DS too...Hopefully not need too soon de..

I haven't signed up for science enrichment, maybe won't, but I have heard of some camps and activities that are good for general science interest. Not the Pr sch syllabus type. (I prefer to leave the science teaching to the school and just bring my kids for the general nature/ science appreciation stuff, like nature walks)


Eg. Raffles Museum of NUS will organize workshops every school holiday.

Nature Society of Singapore also. Used to be a member in the past.
http://www.nss.org.sg/

NParks has many programmes at all the different parks available for sign up, including the Jacob Ballas Garden.

(scroll down for the activities for individuals)

The Wallace Dairy Farm nature park area has workshops for older kids. Very good.
Sungei Buloh has naturalist camps every holiday too.

This group Cicada also organize a lot of workshops for the entire family.

Apart from these, there is the Discovery Science Camp, also held every school hol. And the Lego Workshops by Children Technology, and several other science camps that I can't remember the full names of, cos they were too expensive for me to fully register them in my mind. Camp Invention or something.
