For some of us, this weekend is a super long weekend with the kids off school for the PSLE Oral Exams. Here's a list of best things to do and places to go with kids this week (9 - 15 Aug 2021) in Singapore!
For some of us, this week is a really short week for the kids with National Day on Mon, a school holiday on Tuesday, and a school break (for primary school kids) for the PSLE Oral Exams on Thu and Fri! Let's take a look at what families can do this week.
If you need additional help, do check out another list prepared specially for kids having a school break for the PSLE Oral Exams.
