VISIT TO THE BUTTERFLY GARDEN

12th November 2012 (Tuesday)

Four classes (Year 1 Cekal, Year 1 Cekap, Year 2 Cergas and Year 2 Cerdik) went for an educational visit to the Butterfly Garden at Tasek Merimbun Heritage Park.

The visit aims to give the students the chance to learn more about butterfly, observing the delicate beautiful insect in their natural environment.

It was an interesting trip and the students were overjoyed to have a closer look at the butterfly in all the stages of their life cycle. 

Apart from that, the students get to see for themselves the various floras and faunas (plants and animals) that grows and live in the park.
