Sec 2 History 2009 starts here!

Friday, June 26, 2009

hi all,

Welcome to Secondary 2 History!

Over the next semester we are going to trace Singapore's journey from its early beginnings to the modern metropolis that we know today.

Our journey starts in the 1300s when we try to figure out what Singapore, pre-Raffles was like and continues to that pivotal moment of separation from Malaysia when Singapore gained its independence.

So from your history teachers, happy learning!
