I have not really thought of it that way....but since I am homeschooling, this WILL BE the field trip for the term. A visit to Chinatown right in the midst of the Chinese New Year celebrations!
The hub of all activity during New Year of course, is Chinatown. Sense the excitement in the air in this historic quarter weeks before the New Year, as enterprising merchants lineTerengganu Street and Pagoda Street with their colourful stalls. 
Get your traditional New Year cookies, like love letters, here. Or buy pussy willow, red-paper decorations or baskets of mandarins for good luck. If you're married and want to join in an age-old tradition, get some hong bao -- small red envelopes -- to give to those who are young and single. Don't forget to slip in some dollar notes in the Hong bao before you give it away..."
An intro to Chinese New Year in Singapore
This hustle and heat did not slow down the crowd but just look at the architecture!
"Gong Xi Fa Cai! Singapore's a great place to celebrate the Chinese New Year. During this celebration amidst fun and festivities, cymbals clashing and lions dancing, the island ushers in the New Year under the PIG Chinese zodiac sign(this is my year! and yes, I love being a PIG!)
Homeschooling kids!
Lots to see and touch!
Food, sweets, savouries, sticky cakes etc
