It was Field Trip day again for the Little Tots class. Everyone was excited!
We were going to visit and interact with the different kinds of farm animals housed @ The Animal Resort. Come, follow us!
The Little Tots: “Are we there yet? Where are all the farm animals??”
Seven: “I wonder what’s in this water feature??”
Tian Ming and Tricia: “Oooohhhhh….. It’s a small pond filled with little fishes.”
Our teachers said our first stop would be serving nutritious breakfast to the two legged animals namely the ‘guinea fowls’, ‘rooster’, ‘pigeons’ and ‘sparrows’.
Teachers: “Niwa-ians, remember to crush the breadcrumbs into smaller pieces before dropping them onto the ground for these birds. Look at how tiny their beaks are.”
Teacher: “Ree, are you ready to feed our little friends here?”
Tricia: “This is what I have left….”
Seven and Tricia: “Awwww…….Look at how cute this pigeon is.”
We were all pleasantly surprised to greet by a flock of geese half way into our feedings.
Geese: “Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk!”
Moments later….. We moved on to the more docile two legged animals namely the ‘rabbits’, ‘guinea pigs’ and ‘quail bird’.
Tricia: Ming Ming! I spotted two guinea pigs!
Tian Ming: Yes! And they are brown and furry!!”
Blossom: “Lao Shi, I am ready to have a go at feeding the guinea pigs”
Seven: “What adorable little animals they are. I can’t resist touching them!!”
Tricia: “Do we have any remaining pellets to feed these fresh water fishes??”
Desiree: “Lao Shi, what do you call this large bird that looks like ostrich??”
This is a typical Cassowary commonly found in Australia.
Fun Fact: Cassowaries lay relatively large eggs just like the Emus.
Beware! Cassowaries are not so ‘friendly’ unlike the chickens. Be sure to keep a safe distance when you come up-close and personal with them.
The next sight made us forget our anxieties. It was Mr. Horse, a tamed domestic animal just like donkeys.
It had a pair of mesmerising eyes surrounded with thick, long and black cils.
But the most incredible thing about Mr. Horse was its friendliness.
It was the most majestic animal at the Animal Resort!
Tricia was by far our bravest toddler!
Seven: “I am second bravest!”
Desiree: “I can’t imagine I am now inches away from the horse!!”
Lao Shi: “凯欣，跟我们的俊马说你好!”
Seven: “I want to try again!!”
Tricia: “Horsey…. Here are some hays for you! Hope you’d like them!”
Look at how spontaneous our Centre Manager was!
Next was McDonald’s, a cozy branch lodged at Ang Mo Kio Park.
We felt like the luckiest bunch of toddlers on Earth!
Seven: “Ahhhhh…..”
Blossom: “Fries with ketchup!”
Tian Ming: “I love McDonald’s Nuggets!”
Tricia: “Me too, love eating McDonald’s nuggets!!”
Desiree: “What a food spread….!”
