For our June DEEP Project, Kidz Meadow @ Buangkok Ridge did a project on Primate Kingdom as children showed interest in primates.
We collaborated with WRS Education Department as our children learn more on the primates they had chosen (Cotton Top Tamarin, Orang Utan and Chimpanzee) with a little help from our own SG ZOO. The keepers from the WRS Education Department had worked with the centre in providing information chuldren need as they learn more on the primates, such as enrichment toys for the apes, similarities between apes and humans, differences betwen apes and monkeys, habits and routine of the primates and names of the primate, such as Charlie the Orang Utan.
In additional, we had planned a special learning journey with the fathers as we celebrated Father’s Day at the zoo as they participated in our planned ‘Primate Spotting’. During the learning journey at the zoo, we too had help from WRS Education department in planning and providing us with a special time slot a ‘Special Chit Chat Session’ with the keeper, as our lil rangers asked questions in caring for the primates there.
KMBR Lil Rangers ended they DEEP project on Primate Kingdom as they created and held a mini exhibition at the centre for parents.
