As part of our National Education (NE) programme, the school had organised a tour to the Agrotechnology Park (Oh Chin Huat Hydroponics Farm, Nippon Koi Farm, Dairy Farm) for our P3 pupils on Friday, 25 May 2007.
We had organised the tour to help our P3 pupils enrich his/her personal experience. Agrotechnology Parks have been set up in Singapore to allow us to produce some of our own food today while minimising the amount of land to be used. This tour provided great insight for the pupils to appreciate how some of the high-tech farms in Singapore are maintained.
Below are some of our pupils’ post-trip reflections:
“Although Singapore has limited land, it is interesting to see how we can still manage different types of farm using modern methods of farming. We learnt how to grow hydroponics vegetables.”
Lee Yan Yi, P3/2
“I have learnt how to milk cows and that koi fish can grow up to a length of 30cm.
Nur Tafina, P3/2
“We must take good care of our environment.”
Kathlyn Gaile del Rosaria, P3/4
