Coastal study at ECP

Ms Yee giving the pupils briefing before the field study.

Ms Tan explaining about the marine life that live on rocks.

Ms Tan explaining about the different types of shore plants found at ECP.

We saw a small version of the river formation after the heavy rain. Did you see the mini water fall?

Today Ms Yee and I brought the 3EA and 3N1 to do coastal study at East Coast Park. It was unfortunate that it rained so heavily and I was trapped in a jam for 30 minutes. I saw 4 cars stalled along the way and I was praying so hard, please don't let it happen to me. Luckily I made it to school and by then most of the pupils were there.

After waiting for an hour hoping that rain will stop, which it didn't, we trudged forward to do our field study in the rain with umbrellas. Not the most glamourous thing to do but definitely a sign of our resilience.

I'm so grateful that Ms Tan came along. She's such a good resource person for plants. I learnt so much from her about the different types of seaweed, marine or shore plants to their adaptations to the environment. I saw Pong Pong, Sea Almond, Figus etc.

Despite the bad weather, we had fun! Looking forward to more field trips! ;)
