Trip To New Era Organic Farm

On October 2010, the pupils of SJK(C) Bukit Tinggi visited New Era Organic Farm in Janda Baik. They were welcomed by farm owner, Mr. Ho. On the way to the farm, the pupils were required to pick and separate the garbage on the roadside. In the farm, they learnt about growing organic vegetables that is opposite the commercial vegetable farming. The farm does not use any harmful insecticide as pest control. Through a story told by Mrs. Ho, the students learnt about a food chain consisting of vegetables, aphids, ladybugs, crickets and birds. This shows how biological control can be much more healthier and efficient for humans and Mother Earth rather than using hazardous chemicals. Games and interactive activities followed, the children participated in a fun-filled activity which required them to name different plants according to the clues given to them.
