Most of these young pupils dressed in striking red T-shirt paid close attention to the tour guide describing the 4 stages of the life cycle of a butterfly. 
We could see that an outdoor experiential learning could really engage these young minds.They were waiting orderly and eagerly outside the butterfly enclosure for their turns to come face-to-face with the flying jewels. 
"Lastly, please follow these instructions. When you are inside the Lodge - no pushing, no screaming and no catching of butterflies... " 
The photographer being photographed.. 
"Let me see, let me see..." 
"Which is prettier, the flower or the butterfly?" 
"Anymore butterflies landing on my head?" 
"Hmmm, should I or should I not try catching a butterfly ? " I think I just stand here watching its beauty. 
"Look! It's a plane, it's a bird, no it's a butterfly..."

"Awesome! I must take a photo of this beauty..." 
Now they were ready to answer quiz questions and win some prizes back - of course they brought lots of beautiful memories and photos home as well.
