From 2006 to 2007, pupils and teachers from the Artist Hub crafted a mixed medium orchid painting. This 3-piece decorative wall art is reminiscent of our national flower, Vanda Miss Joaquim, and serves as a cheerful welcome for visitors coming into Yew Tee Primary School.

We, the citizens of Singapore,pledge ourselves as one united people,

regardless of race,language or religion,

to build a democratic society,based on justice and equality,

so as to achieve happiness,prosperity and progress for our nation.

Kami, warganegara Singapura,sebagai rakyat yang bersatu padu,tidak kira apa bangsa, bahasa, atau ugama,berikrar untuk membina suatu masyarakat yang demokratik,berdasarkan kepada keadilan dan persamaan untuk mencapai kebahagiaan,kemakmuran dan kemajuan bagi negara kami.

我们是新加坡公民。誓愿不分种族，言语，宗教，团结一致，建设公正平等的民主社会，并为实现国家之幸福，繁荣与进步，共同努力。

Singapore Pledge

The National Flag, Singapore’s most visible symbol of statehood, reflects the ideals, beliefs and values that we

stand by as a nation amidst our rich and diverse make-up. It forms a crucial element of our national identity. As such, the National Flag is to be treated with dignity and honour.

MeaningThe National Flag consists of two equal horizontal sections, of red above white. The upper left section contains a white crescent moon, and five white stars which form a circle.

Each feature of the Flag has its own distinctive meaning and significance.

Red symbolises universal brotherhood and the equality of man, while white signifies pervading and everlasting purity and virtue. The crescent moon represents a rising young nation. The five stars stand for the nation’s ideals of democracy, peace, progress, justice and equality.

Our National Anthem Majulah Singapura

Mari kita rakyat SingapuraSama-sama menuju bahagia

Cita-cita kita yang muliaBerjaya Singapura

Marilah kita bersatuDengan semangat yang baru

Semua kita berseruMajulah SingapuraMajulah Singapura

Onward Singapore(English Translation)

Come, fellow SingaporeansLet us progress towards happiness togetherMay our noble aspiration bringSingapore success

Come, let us uniteIn a new spiritLet our voices soar as oneOnward SingaporeOnward Singapore

Pupils who are Singapore citizens must sing the National Anthem and take the pledge.Pupils will take the Pledge with the right fist placed over the heart.

• Nation before community and society above self: Putting the interests of society ahead of the individual.

• Family as the basic unit of society: The family is identified as the most stable fundamental building block of the nation.

• Community support and respect for the individual: Recognises that the individual has rights, which should be respected and not encroached upon. Encourages the community to support and have compassion for the disadvantaged individual who may have been left behind by the free market system.

• Consensus, not conflict: Resolving issues through consensus and not conflict stresses the importance of compromise and national unity.

• Racial and religious harmony: Recognises the need for different communities to live harmoniously with one another in order for all to prosper.

Declaration on Religious Harmony We, the people in Singapore, declare that religious harmony is vital for peace, progress and prosperity in our multi-racial and multi-religious Nation.

We resolve to strengthen religious harmony through mutual tolerance, confidence, respect, and understanding.

We shall always: • Recognise the secular nature of our State, • Promote cohesion within our society, • Respect each other’s freedom of religion, • Grow our common space while respecting our diversity, • Foster inter-religious communications,

and thereby ensure that religion will not be abused to create conflict and disharmony in Singapore.

1 Singapore is our homeland; this is where we belong. We treasure our heritage and take pride in

shaping our own unique way of life.

2 We must preserve racial and religious harmony. We value our diversity and are determined

to stay a united people.

3 We must uphold meritocracy and incorruptibility. We provide opportunities for all, according

to their ability and effort.

4 No one owes Singapore a living. We find our own way to survive and

prosper, turning challenge into opportunity.

5 We must ourselves defend Singapore. We are proud to defend Singapore

ourselves; no one else is responsible for our security and well-being.

6 We have confidence in our future. United, determined and well-prepared, we have what it takes to build a bright

future for ourselves, and to progress together as one nation.

Healthy Study Habits1. Study in a quiet and comfortable place with enough lighting. Make sure it is free of things that may distract you, such as the television, toys or comic books.

2. Make a list of things you need to do or study each day. Prioritise and do the most important ones first. In addition, you can draw up a weekly timetable and keep to it.

3. Summarise and draw an outline of each topic. Key points, flowcharts and diagrams may help you to remember your notes more easily. Divide your work into parts and work it out bit by bit.

4. Understand your notes, don’t just memorise everything. Ask your friends or teachers for help if there are things you are unsure of.

5. Take a break when you’re tired! Exercise, listen to music, watch your favourite cartoon, or go out and have some fun!

6. You learn better when you’re fresh and alert, so eat and sleep well. Don’t stay up late or skip meals just to make time for study. Your body needs proper care.

7. Be consistent in your efforts. Start preparing early for tests and exams so you don’t panic and rush at the last minute.

8. Have confidence in yourself. Do your best and don’t be upset even if you don’t top the class.

Tips on StressManagement

1. Plan your time well Be more organised. Make a list of all the things you need to do and arrange them in order of importance. Decide how much time you need for each job and then stick to your plan.

2. Be realistic about what you can do Set goals for yourself that are achievable so that you do not become frustrated or discouraged.

3. Learn to like yourself Do not worry too much about your looks, height, pimples and other faults. Make the best of what you have and learn to accept what you cannot change.

4. Think positive Prevent negative feelings from building up. Learn to identify the cause of these feelings and deal constructively. Don’t blow things out of proportion.

5. Share your problems Do not keep all your problems and worries yourself. Remember you are not alone. Talk to your parents, friends or teachers. They may have had experiences with similar situations and they may be able to suggest a solution to your problem.

6. Build a happy family Be kind, loving and polite to your family. They will provide you with love and support in times of need.

7. Make friends You need friends to talk to and laugh with, to visit you and go out with you and to help you in times of need. Treat others the way you would like them to treat you. Respect their views and be patient with their faults. Try giving in to others sometimes – even when you are right.

8. Keep healthy Keep your body healthy by exercising regularly, eating wisely and getting enough sleep.

9. Make some time for yourself Do something that you really enjoy. It can be a hobby like reading or an exercise activity like jogging. Take a short break when you feel tense or tired. You deserve to have a little fun sometimes.

10. Learn some relaxation techniques Deep breathing exercises, mental relaxation exercises like visual imagery and muscle relaxation techniques are helpful in relieving stress.

Who are you my country?More than celebration and tears.More than memories put together,Or the summing up of years.

I see you enduring all weathers,Sunshine and storms at your heart;In your face the lines ever changingTell the story where I have a part.

As a new chapter beginsFrom where we have come thus farOnce again may it be writtenYou are who we are

In you may we see ourselvesYour needs, your strength in usThat the work for freedom and peaceIs mine as much as ours.

You, my people, my homeOur life defend and upholdMay the good we achievedBe shared with the world.

NE RecollectionsNARRATORThere was a time, not long ago,When other flags flew in Singapore.The British flag in colonial rule,And the Japanese flag in war.

There was no freedom, no justice,When our forefathers stepped ashore.Life was a struggle, bitter and hard.And families were hungry and poor.

They spoke a dozen different tongues,Though their dreams were all the same,But their hopes for a better life were lostWhen war and invasion came.

RESPONSEThey had no rights, they had no say,And they longed to be free one day.

NARRATORAfter the war, we called for change,For the right to decide our fate.Some of us wanted democracy;Others, a Communist state.

Riots and killings in our streets,Years of hate and fear.People said we’d never surviveAs independence drew near.

When self-rule came, we took a voteAnd joined Malaysia, merged as one.But even friends disagree sometime,And more trouble had soon begun.

RESPONSEOur happiness was not to beUntil our country could be free

NARRATORAugust nine, nineteen sixty five,We were out of Malaysia ---- alone!Against all odds we had to buildA nation of our own.

We’ve come this far, by ourselves,One people from many lands.Our forefathers paid the price for us;Now the future is in our hands.

This is our home, where we belong,And our flag flies high and free.But let’s not take for grantedWhat we have will always be.

RESPONSEWe pledge to keep our nation freeWith justice and equality
