Day 2 Learning Journey

It was the 2nd day in Thailand, some of our group members did not have enough sleep due to the noise. The duration of the travelling last about 3 hours long. Guess what… most of us slept on the coach !!!

When we past by the cows, the smell was so awful that everyone had to use their hands to cover their nose. Actually, it wasn’t the animal’s smell but their faeces.

Then, we watched a concert where cowboys showed us what type of skills that a cowboy have to know. There’s a guy using a whip and hit thrice on to the ground and it sound so loud that some of them were shocked , some of them have to cover their ears.

After that, we board a tram to a place that we can learn how to make ice-cream. We wore aprons and had to put on a cap.then, we have to choose the flavour we want to make and learn. But lots of people choose cookies and cream. We waited for the ice-cream to be ready for 13 mins. Once its ready we then scoop it in to our cup and we are only allowed to take 3 for each pupil.

We also get a chance to go shopping in the chok chai farm, most of the people bought pencil case, notebooks and key chains. It was quite expensive but the things over there, we don’t really see them in Singapore.

When we are leaving the farm to go to our tents, we also took the tram and also said good-bye to the staffs and workers near the tram.

Finally, we reached our tent. we then received our keys and some people even meet new partner. We also took our bath and went straight to our dinner buffet.

The buffet has lots of delicious food like barbecue beef, grilled salmon and roasted beef.. I did not eat so much as I do not like some of the food.

After, the buffet the pupils have to do rehersing for our thailand’s schoolmates. Unfortunately, james and yanying did not bring their recorder to thailand so they have a scolding from their teacher incharge of their group.

After that, all of the pupils went to their tents and have a good night sleep. We all enjoyed our trip to the chok chai farm today.

Looking forward to the school visit tomorrow.

Will keep all of you posted. Good night…

Our 1st Day of the ICT Learning Journey

It was sad saying goodbyes..
Most of us have a good journey to Bangkok.
The flight was smooth.
However, some of us miss our families.
It was the first day of day 1, we all have reached the airport safely. After we all have walk out of the aeroplane using a bridge, we waited for our luggages to come out of the plane’s cargo.It was difficult to find our luggages as there are lots of them and they are all almost the same colour. Luckily before we depart for Thailand, Miss Quek gave us each a ribbbon to tie it to our luggages.After that, we waited for a bus to transport us to the hotel we are going to stay in.There is a tour guide, his name is Uncle Charlie.When we pass by a famous place, he would tell us what is the name of the place.He is a great tour guide, when I come to Thailand again, I would definitely want him to be my tour guide again.Soon , we reach the hotel, the hotel’s name is called Bangkok Palace Hotel.The hotel room is quite creepy as there is an idol in the room.

After we go up to the hotel, the teacher want us to come to the lobby after we have put our luggages.We quickly do finish our blog and eat.We went to a boat to eat our dinner.the dinner is a buffet and we all enjoyed it, but it rained heavily and we are all scared.We reached the shore safely without getting drenched.We all are looking forward to day 2.

That’s all for day 1.Bye bye
