Field Based Learning to National Orchid Garden

We went to the National Orchid Garden for our Social Studies learning today. 
The pupils learned information about orchid hybrid and visited the VIP Garden where orchids were named after important people who have visited Singapore. 

We also went into the Misthouse. 

The highlight was going inside the Coolhouse,

Information from the Botanical Gardens Website : 

The Cool House mimics a tropical highland cloud forest, where naturalistic man-made trees and rocks are draped with a profusion of spectacular cool-growing orchids, carnivorous plants and other cool-growing plants. The orchid species in the cool house are grouped based on their origin, either from the Old World (mainly Asia and Africa) or the New World (mainly Central and South America). Tropical highland cloud forests have a cool climate and high rainfall year round, hence, the simulation of cool air, drifting mist and rushing torrent provide a highly realistic representation of high elevation sites in the tropics and will make for an unforgettable experience.

Special thanks to Kiefer's mummy who came along with us as a parent volunteer. 

We all had a fun and enriching time. Let's look forward to our next outing in Semester 2.
