Bottle Tree Park

As part of the project learning about Nature, the children went on an excursion to the Bottle Tree Park to explore more about the different types plants and trees, in particular fruit trees. Despite the hot and humid weather, the children had a fun and enriching experience learning all about the Nature!



Exploring the Bottle Tree Park...

Look! We spotted a coconut tree!
--


Look at those tiny small "hairy" fruits! I wonder that they are...
--


Let's shake and see if the coconuts on the tree will fall!
--

Let's walk... Let's walk... Let's walk together... Till I say... STOP!
--

Look! A fallen coconut tree on the ground!
--


Bringing the children on an educational tour around the Bottle Tree Park and introducing to them the different types of trees, plants, and of course, fruit trees at the park...

Introducing to the children the origin of the Grass Tree...
--

It does look like grass stuck on the tree! No wonder it is called the grass tree...
--

The Spider Lily flower...
--



The Banana Tree
--

The Lime Tree and its fruit...
--

The Pomelo Tree and its fruit...
--


The Chiku Tree and its fruit...
--


The Rose Apple Tree and its fruit...
--

The Crecentia Alata Tree and its fruit...
--

The Rambutan Tree and its fruit...
--


The Pulasan fruit...
--


Coffee seeds: So this is where Teacher Shelyn's must-have daily drink comes from!
--


The humongous Durian Tree!
--


It was indeed a fruitful experience for the children as they explored the Nature in accordance with their project work. The outing to the Bottle Tree Park ended with plenty of knowledge gained... And a group of exhausted, but enriched children too!


Cheers,
Teacher Shelyn
