Celebrating Paralympics Abilities

In line with the SSDB Project, My First Skool @ Blk 264 Serangoon Central has partnered the Singapore Disability Sports Council (SDSC) to organise a Parasport Learning Journey for Nursery 2, Kindergarten 1 and Kindergarten 2 children.

The World Para Swimming World Series is a prestigious international swimming competition for elite para swimmers. The 2023 World Series will take place in 9 countries, across 4 continents. Singapore will be the only Asian country for this annual series. We hope to our children can:

  • Understand how sport can be inclusive for persons of different abilities

  • Meet up and cheer for SG Paralympians

Teacher did a brainstorm map with the children

to know their prior knowledge about paralympics. After the brainstorming, the teacher read a storybook titled

“The Mermaid who became a champion”. It talks about people

with disabilities and the children will understand what para athletes is.

Children have also made a motivational card for our para athletes.

Children learned about the different classifications of swimming events. They have also met some of the para athletes at the OCBC Aquatic Center.
