Reflections+of+Learning+Journey



The Botanic Gardens experience with a lesson was a fascinating experience! I had enjoyed myself thoroughly there, having a different learning experience with nature and the outdoors. It allowed us to interact more and discuss freely as in the classroom, we feel more restricted and listless. However in the open, we feel free to discuss and excited to discover the other side of nature. My groupmates and I had enjoyed ourselves by running around and observing the different trees. We had chosen the tree named Oroxylum Indicum, also known as Midnight Horror. It was a very interesting and unique tree to me for the branches resembled human bones, having joints joining the branches together. It looked very unique as the branches looked like broken branches. The surface area of a leaf was 48cm2. Each limb had approximately 130 leaves and approximately 8 limbs. Thus, in all there were 1040 leaves on the tree. The silk cotton tree surprised me too! I had never expected a seed smaller than my palm to grow into a tree taller than my house! I have learnt a lot more through this trip. It was one of my favourite lessons for it allowed me to learn my topics in another interesting method! I would not mind another outdoor lesson especially for photosynthesis!
