Holidays will be the most excited time for our QQ children as we have planned out many activities that can increase their knowledge and gain valuable experiences which they will not get it by just reading! This year, we went to Teck Aun Medical Factory and Penang Butterfly farm as our annual field trip.

Children were really excited when we arrived at the factory. The person in charged has shown us the laboratory that they use to test the medicine so that the quality was controlled. Our children have a chance to look through the microscope and also the bacteria they grow on the patri dish. We also seen how they carried the drop test for the pill. Then, we were brought to the packing area, where the pill were fill in to the plastic tube. It was all done automatically. The machine will form, fill and seal the bag. Finally the pill were put in to the box manually. The medicine is for stomachache, minor diarrhoea, minor vomiting etc. Before we left, the management has given each of us a pack of the pill as sourvenir.

Our journey continue to Penang Butterfly farm. This were the most excited experience as we have two guides brought us to the auditorium to had our lunch! After that, we were divided into two groups to tour around the farm. The weather was hot but we can see many types of butterflies flying around. Some even stopped at our shirt! After the the tour, we have a short slide show about butterfly. We learned that the national butterfly is called Raja Brooke. The difference between butterfly and moth, what are the favorite foods of the butterfly- fermented fruits such as pineapple, bananas etc.

The most enjoyable part was making the food for the butterfly! All of us were given a sponge with different colours and we pour in some honey. Then we put the container hanging on the trees at the farm. After half and hour, we saw the butterfly resting on the sponge and enjoying their food!
