Ethan’s visit to Jacob Ballas Children’s Garden
Last Friday was Ethan’s second school excursion and I thought I should just accompany him to “pay back” the time lost with him over the past year. This time, the school brought them to Jacob Ballas Children’s Garden at Botanic Garden and Ethan was really looking forward to it, though, there was problem waking him up in the morning.
We arrived at the school at about 8.30am and I understand that the kids going were from N1 (Ethan’s class) and N2. We waited till about 9am for everyone to arrive and for the teacher to do counting before setting off. It was a great day, the weather was great and the kids were really happy. When we reached, the kids took a group photo before going in.
Within the garden, the kids learnt about the different plants and what they do. For example, they saw the chilli plant, sweet potato plant and sugarcane. They also learnt about photosynthesis, though they might be too young to understand what it is all about, but at least, they get to experience it. There were some stuff for them to play too like the maze.
You can see that Ethan enjoyed himself alot. After everything has ended, the teachers brought them to a corner of the garden for a break. Ethan had his favourite rice crackers and enjoyed the scenery with his friends.
This is also one of my favourite photos. Although it was a tiring day, but it was definitely enjoyable for us. You can view the full set of pictures @ my Facebook.
