Up and Down the Garden!

     After four long stops at our fieldtrip, we finally come to our last stop (Aww) We present to you, the Makiling Botanic Garden!

     So, what is this exactly? It's not just an ordinary garden. It's THE ordinary garden. Well not really! This is a picture of the Makiling Botanic Garden's front view. Here, it was a site of many, many trees and it was teeming with plants! Our class, first had some pictures at the first level of the garden. What we expected to learn and see in a garden was to see, of course, plants and flowers. What we didn't know? To walk down a long way of stairs going up and down. This, of course, we did not expect! Although, it was plenty of fun! Though, we were not able to find any organisms for you because of our tired minds! As gurus, we shall just tell you what we saw and experienced!

     Well, during our stay in this wonderful garden, our oxygen tanks were finally unpolluted! And, we also got to get some exercise. It was a tough walk in this long, slippery staircase made out of cement. Seeing nature at one of its best sites was a very cool experience! Here are a few pictures of our stay there. We give credit to Teacher Rye for these pictures taken at this site.

     Okayy, so, after a long walk on all these stair steps, we finally got to cool down. At the bus, we had to rest, stay near the air conditioners, and catch our breaths. Some, changed their shirts because of too much sweat though! Some, even the gurus, got to cool down with some Coca-cola!

Thy heavenly coke can

     And thus ends our amazingly, funny, silly, meaningful, extravagant field trip! We were very sad to end this trip. It was an extraordinary experience for the gurus and their fellow classmates. Our minds and hearts could not stop thinking of going to a next site. Even our dear Teacher Rye was sad to end it. Although, we had great times! All our expectations were satisfied and were even splashed with more fun! After learning so much from DTRI (Dairy Training and Research Institute), the IPB (Institute of Plant Breeding), the MNH (Museum of Natural History), the IRRI (International Rice Research Institute), and finally, the Makiling Botanic Garden, we were able to give and express to you how fun and meaningful it was to us in this extravagant trip. We enjoyed teaching you guys a little something from our field trip! We give our thanks to our teachers so much. We have one more post to give you, and its bye bye for the gurus! So you just wait! But first, here's a message from the gurus about this field trip: We, the science gurus, will never forget this learning experience because, it was one that was different from what other teachers would give, one that would be treasured. And here is a batch picture of us!

One big happy family, ain't it?
