Building my sg gardens by the bay
- 1. Our Journey over Gardens by the Bay
- 2. Hello everyone! Remember me? I am Anban. I¡¯m so excited that Wei Ling, Arif and Amy can join me on a balloon ride to Gardens by the Bay!
- 3. Wei Ling: Oh! Look! That¡¯s the Gardens. There are so many things to see. Let¡¯s fly closer!
- 4. Arif: Wow! Did you know that this used to be the sea? We reclaimed the land and built something beautiful on it! 1986 2015
- 5. Amy: Look! Those are the Supertrees. I read that eleven of the Supertrees use the energy from the sun to give power to their lights at night!
- 6. Arif: That¡¯s the Flower Dome! Did you know that the roof is fitted with sails that open automatically to provide shade to the plants when it gets too hot?
- 7. Anban: Extra water from all areas in the Gardens is stored in this lake and cleansed by the aquatic plants. As the children flew over the two lakes in the Gardens, Anban shared what his father told him.
- 8. Wei Ling: Everyone look! It is the playground in the Gardens! Let¡¯s land over there!
- 9. Picture of the 2 playgrounds- example shown in the next slide All: Let us join our new friends at play!

Wei Ling: It is a place that plays its part in caring for the environment. Arif: It is part of Singapore¡¯s dream of becoming a City in a Garden. Amy: What do you want for Singapore in the future?
