Singapore flyer

The school and teachers had been planning long just for the day, seventh of March to bring the student to Singapore flyer to experience an interactive lesson atop the world biggest observation wheel. The teachers’ intention is to provide an environment whereby we student are being challenged to solve real-life problems, collaborate and share ideas and expressing our thoughts in writing and so on. On the other hand, the teachers also want to enhance our interest in learning mathematics, science and national education in a fun and enriching way.
Our first activity at the flyer was the flight, whereby I and my group mates, accompanied by a teacher aboard the capsule with thrilled and excitement. Each and every one of us were all feeling very enthuse when we were moving on the flyer, despite the excitement we were experiencing, we were not there for fun or to view the scenery. The teacher had given us a task to do during the thirty minutes flight. We were to observe, listen, feel and experience the ride and to identify and record the landmarks we saw. Some examples of the major attraction landmarks we saw were Marina bay financial centre, Collyer Quay, The Fullerton Singapore, Merlion Park etc. When the capsule was getting higher and higher, I started to anticipate fear and remember my acrophobia. My legs were sort of trembling at that moment. Though the flight was moving at an extremely slow rate, I was shivering when I looked at the height we had reached. When my friend noticed my fear, she immediately came to help me. I grabbed on to her hand but she helped me to the bench and slowly tried to distract my mind. After some time, I got more relaxed and managed to stand again.
After the thirty minutes ride, our next station was the tropical rainforest. Then we were given our second tasks, doing reflection on the environmental issues and concerns. We were to take down pictures of the structural features that play a part in maintaining the stability of the flyer and the driving unit that makes the flyer turn, for the benefit of our physics project. When we enter I was really amazed that rainforest was being modified just like real ones, examples like the water falls and the volcanoes. When we finished walking the perimeter of the forest and finished taking the photos, we took a break at the only shop there that sells beverage, the seven-eleven. During our break, I took a walk and I realized that there were also quite a number of other shops that sells accessories, clothing and even a famous toy shop was located at there.
Finally, everyone was being gathered at the rooftop garden. Lastly, we end our day with reflecting and learning section and follow by our individual journal writing and feedback form. We were given time to discuss and share our experience on the flyer and reflect and wrote it down on the mahjong paper provided. When times up, every subgroup place their presentation on the gallery walk path for other groups to view. After that, we form back with our class and took a class photo at the flyer. That was a memorable school trip.
I feel that this trip to Singapore flyer was a benefit for me. I learn a lot along the way, and gain some knowledge and logic of the flyer. I would greatly recommend my family and relatives to this enjoyable trip and flight there, where we would see the beautiful scenery and hot spots of Singapore. It was indeed a worthy trip.
