It is an arrangement of square black plastic tanks and gnarly white plastic pipes with a bewildering number of ninety degree bends in them. Any noise it makes is masked by the

They were sun bathing peacefully, until Mr Lim came along to disturb them xP As the tide was still high when we arrived, we walked along

We left for Labrador Park on Tuesday during school, and reached there while the tide was still quite high. The first thing we noticed when we reached was that the whole beach was covered in the green algae (Bryopsis). We heard from Mr Lim and later, Ms Yang Shu Fen and Ms Siti, that these were seasonal

hello, this is sihui and i’m here with the research on MUDSKIPPERS here’s a photo of a mudskipper we saw that day with the teachers Mudskippers leap extremely quickly. We saw them at labrador that day when doing beach combing with the teachers, leaping around on floating pieces of driftwood, “stoning” for a few seconds, then
