Our Trip to Singapore Botanic Gardens

Hi everyone,
Today we went to the Singapore Botanic Gardens which is very fun. We met Dr Vilma and some others experts, and photograhers. Dr Vilma gave us some badgesand we sold all the hornbills ones. We made $200. Yoooooooooo! Love it. First, when we reached there, we set up everything and we were given badges so me and my good friend, Rebecca went around with the'Money Boy', Wallace went around and sell the badges and we sold 6 badges on 1st try, we were very impressed with ourselves. The visitor pass by so we told them about our hornbill project. And we also the experts about the hornbill projects. Dr Vilma is also very impressed with our'selling skills'. Haha. We learn a lot from the experts and they gave us their emails so I agreed that we have thousands thousand of FUN. YEH! See guys soon.

Reflection~ Botanical Garden presentation

Hello everyone!

Today, the 26th March, we, the Hornbill members, went to the Botanical Garden to present our "findings" to people who were there. We had a "booth" and pasted the pictures we took during our meetings and field trips. We even sold hornbills and jungle animals badges given by Dr. Vilma- we sold 200 badges in less than 3 hours! Each of us also got a badge that Mdm. Neo bought for us but I still bought another design which I thought was nice.

Many visitors came and took a look at our "booth" and each of us or each pair took turns to explain the times we had during our hornbill meetings and field trips to every visitor. Most of them said that they were quite inpressed with our presentation and selling skills. I was mostly in charge of selling the badges since I was a little shy to present but I still presented along with my "partner", Asfarina. The visitors were quite friendly too, that's why I got to have my chance to present.

We got to talk to some experts about birds and we even saw a pair of kingfishers. They're so cute and were in blue! But too bad, that's the time when we got to get back to school. So, we fed the fishes there while waiting for the bus. When the bus came, we went back to school to type this reflection ( I'm typing it now). So then, talk to you all next time! Look forward to my next reflection...

Bye for now!

Reflection on this Hornbill Project

Hi everyone!

Today, 19th March, the 2nd last meeting of the hornbill project. This hornbill project was organised by Mdm Neo, our Nature Club Teacher, and us, the "chosen" members of nature club. This project was great! We got to go on field trips to learn lots of things about hornbills! The type of hornbill we're focusing on is the Oriental Pied Hornbills. Even though we didn't get to see a real hornbill before our own eyes, by looking at pictures from the internet, photographs and books, I can sort of picture this bird's figure and size.

One interesting thing I learnt from this project is: Hornbills were actually thought to be extinct for 138 YEARS!!! But it was fortunate that hornbills came back to the world (maybe god sent them back to us hehe). Thank god......

It was great working with my friends- Rebecca, Wenn Ler, Jun Wei, Wallace, Asfarina, Clenlin, Yong Zhin, Mdm Neo. I think the 2 best thing about this project is making friends and getting a step closer to the knowledge of the world or maybe hornbills. It was a bit challenging for me to find information on just Oriental Pied Hornbills, since the most information I got from the internet on hornbills were about the Great Hornbill or extinct types of hornbills... but I still got some information on the Oriental Pied Hornbill species.

There would be another session, which is the fimal session, for this hornbill project.We're going to the Botanic Garden soon to show present our hornbill presentation. I'm really looking forward to it! Now it's time for me to end, my next reflection's coming soon! BYE!!!!!!


Bye for now!
