Picnic+Reflections

Overall, this picnic was a very different and enriching experience, as it is a fusion of three different subjects, Physics, Biology and English. It was a very pleasant picnic, as it was the first time we had a picnic together as a class, and a field trip like that was very rare.

Listening to the call of the birds was a very interesting and effective way for us to learn to identify sound waves based on the sounds. Being in nature, and listening to the birds really beats listening to them in class.

The picnic was very funny as we ate food made by each other instead of our own, and we could compare the differences of the two groups. We reviewed each other's service, food and application to the themes. We had much fun running around pretending to be crazy cavemen:D

For biology, we had to count the number of leaves on a tree. My group instantly chose the Kapok Tree, only to regret it very much later, because of its enormous size. However, we stuck to it and eventually completed this assignment. However, it was really hard figuring out things like limbs and branches and twigs, so we made a rough guess.

The Man Who Planted Trees really inspired me, as his determination in planting trees and tending to them made a barren land fertile. The statue of the man was really meaningful as they wanted to make him 'alive', by making the statue out of plants, living things. I was answered a question correctly and got to stick a little plant into the statue. This was really an honour for me to be part of this project.
