EMS Trail @ Botanic Gardens

The trail @ the Botanic Gardens on 14 July was somewhat different from other learning journeys. There were no worksheets! Instead, the children had to attempt their various tasks at the different stations with Iphones! How cool is that?

The pupils were grouped in threes to share an Iphone and were guided by 2 facilitators for the trail. I was not surprised that almost all of them could get the hang of using the phone really quickly. They are really tech savvy and that is one of the 21st century skills that is of utmost importance for survival.

Albeit the hot weather, I gather that the children did learn a fair bit pertaining to the EMS (English, Mathematics, Science) subjects and were engaged actively throughout the trail :)

*Genelle, Yee Kai and Eunice were the most united team
(as chosen by the facilitators) and each of them received a $5 Popular book voucher. Well done!
