Most people in Singapore haven’t tried beach tennis yet — and honestly, that’s part of the appeal. It’s fast-paced like tennis, social like volleyball, and played barefoot on sand. You don’t need prior experience, and the learning curve is surprisingly quick. Beach tennis is big in Brazil, and it’s now starting to pick up in Singapore. Sessions are run by Pacific Beach Tennis Academy, which is Singapore's first dedicated beach tennis academy. If you’re looking to: – try a new sport without pressure – meet people in a more relaxed setting – or just switch things up from your usual workouts this might be worth checking out. Sessions are beginner-friendly, and all equipment is provided. If you’re keen or have any questions, feel free to message Luke at 8950 0295.

## Nature Walk with Singapore Democratic School Do you take an interest in topics such as 'self-directed education', 'unschooling', and a child-centric approach towards education? Then join us for a fun and family-friendly nature walk! During our walk, we will be discussing the book 'Free to Learn' by Professor Peter Gray. In the book, Peter Gray discusses how play is essential for children to become happier, more self-reliant, and better students for life. He argues in favour of self-directed education, which means that students get to decide what, when, and how to learn. We will meet outside the Botanic Gardens MRT, near the entrance to the Botanic Gardens. This walk is organised by Singapore Democratic School. You can learn more about the school here: [https://www.singaporedemocraticschool.sg/](https://www.singaporedemocraticschool.sg/) P.S. Didn't read Peter Gray's book yet? Here is a brief summary: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OMYesA1nQo ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OMYesA1nQo )
