My learning journey experience was great. I enjoyed myself and learnt a lot of new things since the tour. There are two parts to it. One was going to the museum and the second was to actually go for a Sinagpore River Cruise. I have gathered some educational information.
First, the museum. At the museum, to support our learning, the tour guide for the learning journey decided to split us up according to our gender. Soon we were on our way to learn some interesting things about what we could find in the museum. The museum guide showed us some chinese caligraphy and told us how much people of the past valued writing and literacy. We even got to see some chinese Gods.
Soon after, we were off to the next room. This room is really mystified and majestic, full of figurines of gods. The first question one of us asked was if we were going to study all of the Indian Gods. The answer was no. The reason was that we had not enough time. One of the Gods that we learnt was The Dancing God. His job is to dance and kill demons. The Dancing God, surprisingly had a raging temper and actually chopped off his son's head. His son's head was then replaced by the the head of an animal that they first found, which turned out to be the elephant! We also got to know more about the Thaipusam festival.
We had a short break, after which we walked a lot more around the Singapore River. The Learning Journey tour guide showed ans told us how much Singapore has grown to be a modern city. Then it was time to go for the Singapore River cruise. It was the best and most interesting part of the whole learning journey. We got to see the Esplanade or more popularly known as 'The Durian'! We even saw the Merlion.
After that, we had to go back to the bus, our learning journey has abruptly ended. I can describe that day to be a tiring and exciting and at the same time, I acquired educational knowledge, beneficial to me. I really like the learning journey. I also recalled on our journey back, we actually sang a 'Goodbye & Thank You' cheer for our tour guides. In my opinion. we should have more learning journeys in the future, because it is fun, exciting and most of all educational.
