Students and Teachers of The Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary School of Singapore stayed at Toucheng Farm last weekend.


Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary School has a history of 120 years of educating children of Singapore! These children are indeed very lucky and we are lucky as well to have them as guests of our Farm!



At Toucheng Farm, guests can experience the traditional way of cooking. Clay is the main material for building this traditional oven, where one can roast sweet potatoes, eggs or even the whole chicken.

Look at them building and setting fire after the kilning process. They tasted the kilned sweet potatoes at night after flying the sky lanterns. Ask them how it tasted!

A visit at Toucheng Farm is incomplete without making the sky lantern. Teachers will teach them how to paste paper materials to make the lantern and they make it themselves, then, write their wishes and prayers on it.

Then it will be lighted outside and everyone watch it as it soar up to the dark sky.

Singapore's Assumption English School Students

Students and some Teachers from National Police Cadet Corps of The Assumption English School of Singapore,visited Toucheng Farm last Thursday.

Here they are during the Barbecue dinner where they themselves took turn and grilled the meat, vegetables or seafood according to one's taste. Visiting the rice paddies, touching the rice plant, grains or watching the scarecrow is an unforgettable experience. Many others even trod inside the rice paddies to transplant the rice seedlings and re-enact the Farmer's hardship during the process.

Can you count how many grains of rice have you eaten since childhood?

Here they are while printing caps using the magical dyes.

One very interesting activity is the making of the sky lantern, DIY and writing one's prayer or wishes on it. Then, everyone gathered around the vast outside area and watched the lighted lantern as it soars up the the night sky.

Playing with bubbles is fun, but soon it has to end as the bus is waiting for another trip as they continue their Taiwan travel.

Other photos taken are published at our web site's photo album, it will connect you to Flickr.
