Spotlight Our World Day 10
‘Our World’ is an overarching term used at Tanglin to bring together the school’s focus on local, regional and global perspectives in the curriculum; environmental awareness; cultural visits and overseas programmes; charity fundraising and service projects; and the personal development of students. The photographs on these pages are from Tanglin’s annual Our World Day, which is a celebration of community, collaboration, cultural diversity and experiencing the attributes of the Learner Profile first-hand.

We were cooperating, we were working toge ther to take out th e chocolate chips wi th a paper clip an d a flat toothpick an d a round toothpick. I wasn’t nervo us about working with the older child ren, I was happy because the Senio rs were really nice and I made some new friends - even with girls!” Baruch Akwaboah, Y3.7
“We worked as a team and we kept on thinking of what to make. We thought of making a robot but it was my dog’s birthday so I suggested we make a hotel for dogs. Olivia and another girl called Lily in my class and Lucy from Year 11, Daniel, Jem and Raphael from the Seniors all helped to make the puppy hotel. It was important to work together because we had much better ideas together and we were faster.” Lily Evans, Y4.8
“We had to step on a mat. We had to use all the equipment to make a bridge to get onto the next mat holding a precious object - the red ball. I couldn’t do it by myself, we had to use teamwork.” Emily Forrest, Y6.6
