On the 26th of February, my class and another class which I forgot which class, went on a learning journey to Sungei Buloh. While walking around Sungei Buloh, I saw both animals and plants. I saw some squirrels, monitor lizards, crabs, mud skippers, wild dogs, fishes, wild birds, spiders, a rooster nestling on a tree, prawns, a wasp, bugs and other fishes. For plants, I saw water lilies, and other interesting and beautiful trees, some which had different coloured leaves. For english, my group and I needed to take videos during the trip, and turn it into a presentation, along with other things, like pictures and describing what happened.
Whereas for science, we had to collect a water sample from the swamp during high tide, and collect the results from the datalogger, and write it down. We had to draw out pictures and write short summaries from geography, along with a peer-evaluation worksheet. From these tasks, I have leaned that, even though Jermaine they all might seem annoying in school, they make really good friendswhile at Sungei Buloh. Another thing that I have learnt is to stick in a group, and always look around to check if any group member was left behind.
Although I didn't do much of the work in Sungei Buloh, except for providing a jar which they said they'd rather use Leonard's, I still tried to do what I can, like telling them which area had a certain animal, and tried to stick as a group during our 'tour' with Mr Loh.
The only thing that really interested me was when collecting the water sample, as one unlucky group's glass jar broke loose from the rafia string and floated away, and when they tried to use something to bring it back, they're only pushing it further away. Other than that, my group and I were lucky enough to follow Mr Loh to the wetland reserve, where we've seen someone modelling, with all the camera equipment, took many pictures, and had an unforgettable experience there. Another interesting event that happened was, as my group was keeping the datalogger, one of the wires dangled downwards, and into the gap between the floorboards, right into the water. We panicked, of course, but all that we could do was to use some tissue and wipe it dry.
