Check out SAFRA Appreciating NSmen Art Jam with Association of Early Childhood and Training Services (ASSETS). The Appreciating NSmen Art Jam is a joint initiative between SAFRA and the Association of Early Childhood and Training Services (ASSETS) to promote a greater appreciation among preschool children for the important role that NSmen play in national defence and security. As part of the initiative, preschools are encouraged to incorporate a special segment into their curriculum to engage preschool children in NS-inspired arts and crafts activities.
Preschools are recommended to conduct the session from 27 June to 15 July 2022.
Learning more about National Service and making an appreciation gift
Participating preschool children will be able to learn more about NS where they will be encouraged to find out more about their father’s or family member’s NS experience prior to the sessions.
During the art jam session, they will be able to pick a template to colour, cut, fold and glue the arms onto the figurines to make a salute posture. They will then pen their personalised appreciation message at the back of the NSman figurine and present it to their fathers as an appreciation gift.
Preschool children will have the opportunity to make specially designed figurines, available in five different versions corresponding to the five Services (Singapore Army, Republic of Singapore Navy, Republic of Singapore Air Force, Singapore Police Force and Singapore Civil Defence Force).
Each template depicts an NSman, a male and a female figurine that can be mixed and matched to represent the NSman father/family member and preschooler, or the whole family by using more than one template.
