learning journey to farms

We went to three farms today! Before we go up the bus, we wait for the bus for 10 minutes. During the ride to the Marine Fishery, the trip to there was almost half an hour! When we reach there, it was very hot! Then Mrs Tan brought us in for a presentation. It was very cold! Mrs Tan taught us about the farms in Singapore.Then when we went out, we waited again for the bus. There was a lot of the same bus coming from up to down, I was very confused that I think that the bus is turning round and round! Most of the students ate while waiting.
The next stop we are going was the Hay Dairies Goat Farm. A person taught us about how the milk produces and the life about the goats. Then, Mdm Phua allowed us to buy a $2.00 goat's food packet to feed the goat at Barn 2 and I brought it. After feeding, we went to the toilet, wash our hands and sat down to eat. Some of them buy food and drinks from the stall. When the bus came, we board it.
The next we are going is the Vegetable Farm. At first, an auntie showed us a video about 2 kadak agents doing the mission of finding the information of farms. Then, an uncle brought us around the hot farm to see plants. He plucked some plants for us to smell. He also gave some plants to almost all of us. Then I didn't realised that there were 2 cafes of 1? I thought that we turned around to the other side but when we reach the cafe, I realised that almost everything was the same! Then we board the bus to the next stop.
The next stop we are going is the Ornamental Plant Farm. When we reach our last destiny, an auntie introduce to us 2 toys who helped the farm. One waters the plant and one helps the plant.
Then she brought us outside to a farm where there is a lot of plant. It was too hot that everyone wants to go to an air-con corner. Then we gone to a cooler farm but there has no air-con. She thought us 2 plants: a Pitcher plant and a Mosquito plant. The mosquito plant has a good point: It prevents you from mosquitoes. The Pitcher plant also have a good point: The pitcher bags has some nectar in it. It distracts insects to go in the pitcher bags and the insects would slowly be digested by the pitcher bags. Then she led us back to the air-con corner again. I was cooled at last! She gave us a water bottle each for drinking. It has a special taste. Then we boarded the bus back to school.
When we reach our school, Mdm Phua gave us a bottle of milk each. Mdm Phua dismissed us back to home.
