Visiting to Hay Daries Goat Farm and Frog Farm
In line with the staller programme, the school believe that experiential learning is essential for school pupils' acquisition of the English Language. Pupils learn that best through first hand experience. As such, the school wholly advocate learning beyond the classroom where teachers actually "teach less" but pupils "learns more".
The objectives of the visit are follows:
- To see what a farm looks like
- To find out what farmers do on a farm
- To observe how farmers milk the goats
- To gain first-hand experience on how the goats at the farm are looked after
- To learn about the life cycle of frogs
- To appreciate animals and nature
After the visiting, we saw that teachers have aimed at writing of "Our Visiting to the Goat Farm".
Target Words:
visit/ visited, cycled, watched, milk/ milked, scored, scrubbed, tasted, goats, enclosures, dried grass, excited, hay, feed/ fed, eat/ ate, ....
Sample Sentences:
- The goats are eating grass.
- We are very busy.
- We feed the goats with dried grass.
BTW, something, parents should prepared in advance, such as:
- a small bag (especially for us. since we don't bring a lot of bags here. then it was an issue for us)
- water bottle
- healthy snacks
- raincoat/ umbrella
- stationery
寓教於樂的用心, 從此次活動就可以看得出. 看起來是去玩玩, 小朋友很興奮都這麼覺得, 事實上也是這樣, 但從回校之後, 老師所加強的單字及句子, 就可以知道, 原來, 學校的用心ㄋ.
和一位義工媽媽聊聊, 他小孩從這校畢業後, 唸的是南華中學, 可厲害的呢!
