Joshua on MAD Lesson on Strange Plants
Joshua Goh, who is from Minnesota, attended Cicada Tree Eco-Place’s MAD Lesson on Strange Plants held at the Jacob Ballas Children’s Garden in August, and enjoyed himself very much.

"I wish I can be here (Botanic Gardens) longer...like a month or a year so that I can learn more about the strange plants here."
Here are some photos which Joshua sent us for our blog:

MAD lessons go to School
Cicada Tree Eco-Place is proud and excited to bring our MAD lessons to schools! Our first school was First Toa Payoh Primary School where we shared the wonder and beauty of butterflies and moths with 150 pupils of Primary 2 in May. Run for 5 classes over 5 days, our lessons covered butterfly and moth characteristics, diversity and ecology.
We brought live caterpillars and pupae to class. The kids were lucky to observe the stages of a butterfly life-cycle and participate in the release of newly emerged plain tiger butterflies at their school assembly yard. Besides live butterfly and moth caterpillars, we also brought preserved specimens of butterflies and moths to show the kids. The lesson ended with art and craft where the kids made colourful atlas moth wall-hangings which later decorated their classrooms and corridors.
Reflections from the kids were heartwarming. Here is one: “I hereby pledge that I will build a garden for the beautiful butterflies and moths to suck up the nectar from flowers to flowers.”
We hope to bring our MAD lessons to more schools soon. To register, write to Celine Low at: contact@cicadatree.org.sg.
