The trip to Pasir Ris Mangrove was a fun, exciting and educational trip for me. There was alot to learn by observing nature, the mangrove plants and animals that lived in that community. I have learned alot from this trip and this information which I have acquired has done me good in terms of understanding nature further and in terms of studies.
It has helped me understand what I am learning in school. This knowledge I have gained is sure to help me in the future or even with science projects. Two interesting facts that I learnt when I went to Pasir Ris Mangrove was how a Mudskipper breathes and why a Mud Lobster builds its home near the Mangrove trees.
Pulling the weeds was the best part not for only this trip but even for the trip to the MacRitchie Reservoir's Central Catchment. I think most of us realised at that moment that teamwork was essential and that we needed to provide our full cooperation with each other.
At the MacRitchie Reservoir, we saw alot of turtles. We then got to know from our instructor, Ms.Debbie, that these turtles were not meant to be there. She told us that these terrapins were abandoned by their owners. How mean and cruel can people be to their own pets that they have raised and taken care of?
Walking on the ramp was the most irritating part... We had to carry all the tangled weeds and we had to walk fast so that we would not miss our bus. Most of us were afraid of falling into the waters as none of us wanted to volunteer to become the laughing stock of the day!!
I know this is starting to sound more like a journal or compo writing rather than a reflection, but I just can't help pointing out the obvious mistakes made by some humans nowadays.
Well. I would like to end this 'reflection' by saying thanks to all the instructors and I am looking forward to a next trip (if there is another one). I also hope other trips won't be so long!
