Visit By St. James And St. Johns of KayBee

On the last day of March, two private schools paid a visit to our school to gain a new experience. What experience is it?

Harvesting the paddy grown by the senior. It was a perfect timing as at that time, the seniors were still at the Philipines and the juniors were facing an hectare of paddy.

Cikgu Zaitunah Binti Haji Kurus, giving a welcoming speech to the visitors.

Some of the coursemates and lecturers and also the students of the St. Johns hearing the speech. Most of the St. Johns student were still in primary school.

And most of the St. James student were in Year 12 classes.

And these visitors are divided into several groups which will be man by my course. Unlucky to those who get the big boys and big girls.

Lucky me, I've got group of kids. However, one down due to dehydration.

Its time to harvest the paddy. Instead of using the sickles which is the most easiest one, the visitor use normal scissors to harvest the paddy. It is safe on their level although its slow.

Some of the photos during the activity.

A group photo with my group. Well, I'm not in the group because I'm the one who take the picture.

After the harvest, the students are then shown how to dry the paddy under the sun.

And some of the students want to try it too.

The visit from these 2 schools were giving the opportunities for the school to shows to them what are we doing here in order to support the nation's objectives; to achieve self-sufficiency on paddy processing by doing multiple research to gain high quality yield. So then, thats the update from me and wolla!
