Jigsaw Students Spend Day
Harvesting Paddy With Farmers
By James Kon
Bandar Seri
Begawan - Students from Jigsaw Primary School, Berakas,
recently took a day out of their school holidays to get some
experience in harvesting paddy in Kg Bebuluh.
The students were shown the ropes
by the owner of the paddy field, Pau Sau All Choi, and Tumi
Nunnisuari.
The students also took a closer
look at small huts called "sulap", which are used to store paddy.
They also learnt about the process of harvesting paddy such as
winnowing. After a hard day's work, the students were treated to
fresh sugarcane.
The trip ended with a visit to the
Berakas Forest Reserve.
They were accompanied by the
school's principal, Mrs Helen Chin, and five teachers.
The main objective of the
educational trip was to give them a better understanding of the hard
work that farmers put in to harvest paddy.
