In Bollywood farm

If we were the finance ministers, we would decide to keep the farm as it could be used as a tourist attraction . It is so that tourists can see the attractions of the place and farm together without paying extra money. The scenery at bollywood farm was quite amazing, it was a relief for those who are used to the city life. It is a way to get away from the hustle n bustle of the city life.

The farm contained fascinating names for different species of plants such as bananas. Such as "Pisang raja","Rajastali" and "Pisang Ambong". There was also a wide variety of spice plants. Such as "oregano","laksa leaves","blue pea(vine)", Basil",and "green chilli". all this plants can be used to make delicious finger licking curry or can be put to different used such as oregano which can be crushed and drunken to help asthmatic people to cope with their problems.
Some of those plants can be used for medicinal purposes and can be used to help us with revitalising of the senses. Such plants would be "lemon grass","camomile"and"aloevera plant".Camomile can be made into tea, which relaxes the sense and allows us to sleep peacefully or just be at peace with ourselves. Aloevera has many different uses. It can be made into aloevera cream that is able to cool our body and heal the skin which has suffered or is scared.
This are some of the good points of this farm. We may open giftshops that sell these types of cream and tea which would be a medically used or jus to calm ur senses.Opening of a restuarant that caters to the need of those curry lovers or those who just enjoy spicy food with that "zing" in the food they eat. As the spices awakens ur senses and gives the food an irresistable and tempting aroma that lingers around your nose even after your done with your meal.
These attractions would bring big business into our economy as it may be of interests to foreign investers. The certain parts of the farm can be made into gardens or parks for people to enjoy or jus spend time in. These will allow the younger generations to enjoy the outdoors and the beauties of nature and its' diversities.

In the Hays dairy farm
The dairy farm was interesting place as we learned that mutton is not goat as what alot of people thought it was. Goats meat is known as 'Chevon'. Goats milk was alot different from the sweet cows milk that we drink almost everyday. The milk ain't that sweet but it apparently is more nutritious than normal cow's milk.
The Experience that we had was a fufilling one as we got to feed goats n see how they life and the way they are milked. It is all an interesting process.

Should we keep the farms? Pentagon

The 2 farms very boring... The vegetable farm too much ants. After the discussion, our group has decided to keep the farm running because if there are lesser plants and more humans, there would not be enough oxygen to breathe, weather will become very hot. The wind would be very hot if no plants as they absorb heat. The plants can also provide shelter from the sun if the sun is in the top of the sky. The farm provides food which adds to our total food supply from neighbouring countries. If the whole country is too urbanised, then the people of the country will have no life because there is no place for them to absorb Vitamin D.

We should keep the goat farm because it allows us to learn more about different animals like goats. How they produce milk, different species of goats, and more info about a certain species. E.g. Milking only takes 7-10min for each goat depending on how much milk they carry in their udder. The goat milk was not that nice to drink as it was a bit sour, but it benefits to people with certain illness such as Asthma. We should have more of these activities organised for teens of our age.

We do not want to tear down the farm because we feel that there are too few farms in singapore.The road towards the farm is very deserted...so if we build a school there nobody will go there cause it is too far away. We can also use the farm to educate the students in schools about the importants of plants.The students can also learn planting skills thus we should keep the farm and educate students of singapore.By keeping the farm,we also maintain the natural landscape which is very limited in singapore.






We learn the properties of diffrent plants and their importance to our living.For example,the aloe vera has a healing property which can speed the healing of a wound,make the skin smoother and cure sunburn.There is over 16 species of banana trees,each tree having their own use.For example,the Pisang Raja is the only banana best to make Goreng Pisang.We also learnt that spices can be used to improve aroma,taste and colour of the food.






We also found out that a mango tree looks like a bird nest fern.We also found different types of plants such as,the blue pea vine,oregano,tapeworm plant and the jambu.Sadly we could not find the mango tree as we thought it was a bird nest fern.






These are some of the plants we found.......................................






This is the Laksa Leaf




This is a Blue Pea Vine
This a Banana Flower

We saw the process of how milk is taken out from a goat.There are many species of goats.They also told use that the female goat's horn are burnt off to prevent two pregnant goats from fighting and causing a miscarriage.We also tasted goat milk and found that it was completely different from cows milk.We tasted the chocolate flavoured milk and it tasted nice.Goat's milk has more protein then cow's milk and are also known to be more alkaline.The goats has only two utters while the cow has four.The goat can only give out about 4 litres while the cow can produce about 20 litres.
We really enjoyed the wholeday and would like to thank Mr Zul and Mr Jonathan for guiding us through this fun journey.Don't do drugs.
