10th March: Queenstown Library

After a long and arduous journey to Queenstown Library which was situated at a relatively deserted place, we managed to gather a small group of children at the Programme Zone to participate in our activities.

Although there were very few kids, approximately 15, the session was very rewarding for us, and hopefully for them us well. A smaller number of children meant that we could focus on their learning and ensure that they could remember their newly acquired knowledge.

Many of the kids enjoyed learning and colouring, and we had fun sharing our experiences with the macaques with them. We hope that through this activity, they will not only learn new knowledge, but also apply it and share it with their family and friends when they visit nature reserves. 

This boy shared with us that he was going to make a monkey mask for his mother, and even added his own "tail" to make it seem more like a macaque! (:

The children had fun wearing our macaque puppet show props and taking photos too!

Upcoming Library Activity!

IMBA coming to an end for us!

Aww sadness

   

                           

But it's okay cos you'll still see us going around libraries and trying to come up with a better skit that kids actually listen to.

PLEASE JOIN US

Will some group in RGS please take IMBA up as their SL project! You'll get to know us, the awesome people, and be awesome as well!

Anyway, since we are now considered a "new group", hui hsien made this super cute logo!!

Storytelling session!

EDIT: Activities on the 26st of November will be from 2-3pm, not 3-4pm. (:

Hello!

IMBA will be holding a fun session with different activities at the National Library for children ages 3-6 years at the Children's Section.

Activities:

1. Story-telling

Learn more about Mackey and his life in the nature reserve, and understand what to do and what not to do when you visit the nature reserves.

2. Make your own monkey masks

Learn about the facial expressions of the long-tailed macaques. See how they express their feelings and understand that even though we may have the same facial expressions, we may not be feeling the same way!


3. Colouring Activity
Understand what not to bring and do in the nature reserves through this interactive colouring activity! 


Come down and Join Us! :D
We hope to see you there

Forest Fiesta 2011 @ Geylang East Library

Today was one of the most exciting days for IMBA in 2011!

We were asked to participate in Forest Fiesta 2011, organised by the Roots and Shoots group of RGS.

Our booth had the activity "Make a Monkey Face!" which required little kids to design their own monkey faces from paper plates and crayons.

It was held in the Children's Section of Geylang East Public Library.

The kids were focused on colouring,

with this guy unsure of which colored crayon to pick.

The kids had fun and so did we!

The highlight of the day was listening to Dr Jane Goodall speak!
