Little Urban Explorers @ Queenstown

Join us for another of Young Nautilus’ learning journeys to explore the neighbourhood of Queenstown! With the rich historical progress in town planning and a future hotspot for developments that are currently on-going, Queenstown makes for the perfect learning case study that will enable the K1-2 students to appreciate and understand how Singapore plans land usage and developments for its towns and neighbourhood!

Students will receive the actual land usage maps of the area that are used by URA planners, depicting the trail that they will embark on! As we explore the different amenities and developments along the trail, they will slowly fill in the map with all they have observed and learned. Lastly, the route chosen for this trail has no crossing of any main roads, which makes it safe and well-suited for K1-2 students.

 

BIODIVERSITY WALKS (*Also available for Primary to Tertiary)
Nothing beats going out into nature and observing marine animals in their habitat! Your students will be able to walk the Intertidal regions in Singapore, and learn about the vast biodiversity that our shores have! They will have a glimpse of what it would be like for a marine ecologist for a day! (This programme is dated according to tidal timings).
