To make Singapore a better place,it should be child-friendly.A child-friendly environment should have such fun thingsthat we like such as more theme parks,more interesting places and the tings we children like.Children also wantto have no 'no touching' signs to be in the public art areas so they could learn the history and tradittion in their country.Also,children do not want to be kidnapped.However,in Johor Baru,it could be even worse as there many kidnappers.So it is better to go out with a responsible adult and not strangers.

Singapore should display toy exhibits and tell how in the olden days,toys were play and it last long how many years or decade. Singapore should also held up more exciting activities such as hiking,camping,canoeing,rock climbing andothers. Singapore should also build more gym.And with have strong bones.

I want a gigantic playground in Singapore so the kids will have a good time there.The playground will also have a swimming pool nearby as many children love to swim.

singapore is more fun with more playgrounds or library and some parks

Jenelle Ling (4P) said...

Should a city be a playground for children? Or is it better to have special areas where children can play. What do you think, and why?

I think it is better to have special areas where children can play because if there isn’t, children will be bored and will not have things to do children cannot even be able to get around safety on their own as early as possible and explore their environment. Adults should try to make more places for children to play in and should stop putting those signs that say “No Touching”. They should let children see it they should expose children to more about the city and traditions. Toilets bowls and sinks should not be too high for children. So I wish Singapore can be more friendly and kind

1.I think Singapore should build more bigger playgrounds for children to play and excersise.
2.Build more eco-gardens for children to enjoy nature and learn more about science.
3.A giant theme park to have fun!

I think that they should create more drains for the rain to flow.If they dont,then it will cause a flood.I also think that they must really make more pedestrian crossing for people to cross the road.If there is only a few pedestrian crossing,people will start to walk on the road where cars moves.IT very dangerous for people who are very young and old who walk slowly.Lastly,they should build more schools for people to study.It is a pity that some people who are poor can not go to school.they should build more schools for orphans to study in too.

i wish Singapore will have a special area where children can plaY.It is because some other kind of places may have to be built.there can always be special placesz for children.they can also do other thing like learning new sports,going to the library and borrow books to read and many others.but for some reasons,they need to built other places for everybody to go to,so it is fair :)so in future i want singapore to have a place for children and adults

I think that if singapore have everything that has it for children then it is a good place for children to live in.Like in the ladies toilet there is a lower sink for children and there is a higher sink for adults.And in the shopping centre there is a section for children and there is a section for adults.In genting or other type of disneyland there is games for children and for adults.So in future,i want singapore to have a place for children and for adults

Singapore is not so safe for children.children are jaywalking all the time.There have been kidnappings of children recently.Singapore should be safe for children to live in.There must be more museums of Singapore history.When the Japanesse invaded Singapore.

jessica 4peace said...

they should make the place good and fun for children who are older.For example when i went to Paragon with my family,my brother and sister who were younger than me wanted to go to the playground and it was only for 6 years and below so i had to sit and wait for them while they played in the playground.I want the palce to have something that older children can do.For example also in Paragon,there is no bookshop for me to read and i love to read.So i get bored easily.I also get scared on the road because when the lights flashed green, the cars still continue moving so i have to wait.The cars should stop when the green man is on so that peolple can cross the road.

I would like Singapore to improvethe traffic,as there is always trafic jam near my house and sometimes,I am almost late for school.Secoondly,I want Singapore to sell things cheaply.($1-$50)Singaporeis things have been expensive lately.Thirdly,I want the toilet to be nice smelling,some toilets are smelly.Even
childrens,like me,cannot torlerate the smell.I hope Singapore will change just as I asked.
Thank You! :D

i think they should build more playgrounds for us to play and they should build more parks.i think they should build more parks because i want my city to be more environmentaly friendly and clean and green.we should build playground for us because to inspire imagination.i also like to have more open spaces to run around and ride bicycles. ~~ the end ~~

Jodie(4p) said...

I think we should build more playground that allows 5 and above. Cause i remember when i was young i wanted to play the playground that year and i was only 6 years old. But i saw the sign and i cannot play. So i was really bored.
we can also Put a televison and a matress into one mall. And when the childrens are tired or waiting for their parents, they can sit on the matress and watch television while waiting for their parents or just sit there and relax. Lastly, the toilet for the girls and boys, the sinks are also very high. And so when some children want to wash their hands, they always cannot reach it as they were too tall for them. So i suggest we should put a small little sink for childrens to wash their hand.

I think they should build more playgrounds,a cool Roller Coaster and a pond with fish... This is the 3 things i want and i hope to get it done fast... We shoul build more playgrounds for us because to inspire imagination. I also like to havemore open spaces to run around and ride a bicycle... i want my city to be more environmentally,friendly and clean
and green... :)

It would be better that in crowded place with alot of cars at it,they should put more traffic light so that more people no need to go to the other endand croos,as that would waste their time,and also in the toilet,some people never flush the toilet bowl when they relive or urine finish.sO i think they should change it that will atomatic flush itself.

Singapore should have special areas for children to play. It is because some other kinds of places may have to be built. There can always be special places for children. Children can also do other things like going to the library. Some other areas may need to be built for other reasons. Some other places need to be built like houses, shopping centres and buildings. All of us need to have what we need, we cannot only have play grounds for children. We need to have both places for every body. Every body needs to have their own places. Every body will have time to do their own fun things

Valencia Tan 4Peace said...

To make Singapore a better place for children is to let them play for 45minutes after they had finished some of their homework.The other way to make places better for children is to make traffic lights for them to cross the road so as to not cause accidents or having them jaywalking across the road.And lastly,the government can make toilet bowls smaller and lower sinks for the smaller children to use it.It may be more cnvenient for their mothers to help their babies wash their hands.

sofea adrianna 4 peace said...

Firstly,to make singapore a better place for children, we must allow them to play but not over their limit, which is 30 minutes. children hate it when they have to do homework before playing. to let them have fun, let them play for some time before doing their homework.to make work more fun,have a neat and clean desk and make studying your way.

Secondly,we must make more safer roads as there are more accidents now and then.we should make more but not too much zebra crossings and traffic lights so that your little tots feel safer to walk on roads like this.

Last BUT not least, we should have more cleaner toilets as the public toilets now are mostly dirty,messy or smelly. some toilets have no soap in the compartments and humans can't wash their hands properly.

so that is my opinion for a city that is better for children to live in.^=^

Olivia lim 4peace said...

I think we should make some arragement on the traffic road.if there's many people whanted to cross the road,maybe thet can let the children go first.but of cause,if the children is from 2-5 years old is with their father or mother we must also let them
go first.It is because if their chirdren do not know how to cross the thaffic road.

tanfuyu4p said...

i wish that the playground will be upgrade till there was a merry-go-round and even roller coaster and i wish that there are computer every where and games...............for free.i hope there will be timezone,lan shop and many other thing and older people should not bully or kinap children

chan young 4p said...

For singapore they should makemore zebra crossing roads because a child can cross the road safely and it will also help the older people.they shold also build more playgronds for kids to play in.they should also make more libraries so people could come to the library to read and have a quiet place on your own.maybe if all these things were made more people will come and live in singapore and of course a good city to live.

Joey4P said...

If you want people to live in a liveable city. We must bulid more playground and swimming pool.If you want a liveable city you must make more space for children to play in and make more free time for children to play and also study.If you want a liveable city the little india place must have no jaywalkers.People must not walk on the road when people is driving in kampong glam the place.

abbas said...

singapore should be child friendly.To do that I think we should build more theme parks

A city for you to play in
i wish singapore will have special areas for children to play so that children won't be bored.some shopping malls can have a play areaa,so that if kids don't want to go shopping with parents,they can stay there to play.when their parents finished shopping they can pick their kids from the play area,then they can go home,eat lunch or dinner,go shop their kid's clothes or the child can see the toys in the selling child clothes area and toys area.mcdonalds can have a mini playground.so if your child wants to go mcdonald to eat they can eat their food and go to the mini playground to play to play and i wish more playgrounds can have swings!

We should let the childrens have less stress and more freedom.Childrens love freedom and fun.The teachers should be more kind and lesser homework and lesser claswork.If the childrens have lots of homework and classwork,they will have stress.Many people thought that more work will make childrens smarter but it is not true.More work,More stress.More stress will make people more dumb.Lai Sze 4Grace

To let Singapore be a safer place for children,Singapore should have more police men. Singapore should also have a special crossing road for children.

Kok how said...

I wish singapore will bulit more theme park and more intresthing things will be built in singapore.

sean 4p said...

I think that if we to make singapore a better place,we should build playground that is unable for the mosqitoes to come so we will be save.WE should also build more swimming pool for us to swim in.We should build a lot of shops for us to buy things that is cheap like groceries,toys,eletronics stuffs and much more.I hope that Singapore will also provide education to the poor.

I wish that singapore have more cleaner water and can coltrol the water temperature by our selves.....

jessica 4peace said...

i think you are right kelly because i get bored when my parents go shopping so if there is a play area it won't be so boring for us.so if they build a play area it will be really good.

jessica 4peace said...

i agree with sofea because i like to have fun before doing homework. sofea is also right with the road because if there are children crossing sometimes the cars won't stop so if the cars stop when there are chldren crossing then the children will feel safer.and of course the public toilets usally if i go to the public toilets it's always so dirty so i am scared to go there. if they make it cleaner it will be much better.

I think the best way is to let children having some freedom is the best way, as they need to have some rest because they could be exausted with their work.I also think that the teacher's can also dont give them too much homework,but when exam comes'we must suffer abit lah!to get good marks.
