The two programmes which we can embark on in Sentosa for Geography
Differential erosion - conglomerates and sandstones. Did not cross my mind to show the students the different types of rocks to show them that. Time to dig out my old collection! Indeed students can make connection to their learning if they can see it with their own eyes.
Used to bring the students for fieldwork at this part of Sentosa in the 90s. Just realized it is called Tanjong Rimau. The observation of fissures, the notch, the caves on the cliff, and the action of plant roots on weathering. The measurement of the height of the cliff and the gradient of the transect along the shore platform. Had a very good mentor, Alice, back in the 90s.

Where the rock beach is - didn't know there are corals too. Used to bring the students to the coralarium which had made way for the golf course. Students love the touch pool and learned more about the fringing reef.

Safe to swim!
Actually the waves are quite storm. Look at the swash

This was where the old coastline was with the spring water
