Programme Overview

How do mangrove trees survive in salty, waterlogged soil? How can mudskippers breathe on land?

Journey to Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve and have Science concepts to life through a learning experience that travels from the TLL classroom to the mangroves. Through this learning journey conducted by our partners, Young Nautilus, students will learn first-hand about adaptations, food webs and the hidden wonders of the mangroves.

Your child should be enrolled in this academic level in 2027.

If you are interested in registering but registration has closed for your preferred option, please contact us at specialprogrammes@thelearninglab.com.sg for assistance.

Course Outline

Through a guided learning journey conducted by Young Nautilus, students will observe how plants and animals have developed remarkable adaptations to survive in the mangroves. From mudskippers and tree-climbing crabs to monitor lizards and magnificent coastal birds, students will observe biodiversity up close and uncover the fascinating food chains and food webs connecting these organisms.

Students will also have a classroom segment to introduce them to the Science concepts covered during the Sungei Buloh walkabout and offer them the chance to handle and observe artifacts like a crocodile skull and taxidermised turtle up close.

Designed to complement the MOE Upper Primary Science curriculum, this immersive experience strengthens students' understanding of adaptations, environmental interactions and conservation, while developing their scientific observation and inquiry skills.

Course Highlights

Students will gather in The Learning Lab (United Square) for a classroom introduction to the mangroves before travelling to Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve for the learning journey. Students will conclude their lesson back in The Learning Lab (United Square), where they will be dismissed.

What Students Will Learn

Learn about how mangrove plants survive in salty, oxygen-poor environments through specialised roots, breathing roots and unique reproductive strategies
Observe how mangrove animals adapt to challenging intertidal conditions, applying scientific concepts of adaptations and survival
Uncover Food Chains and Food Webs by identify producers, consumers and predator-prey relationships to understand how living organisms depend on one another within an ecosystem
Discover how mangroves protect coastlines, provide habitats for wildlife and help regulate the climate through carbon storage
Investigate Human Impact on the Environment by learning about threats to Singapore's mangrove habitats
Understand the importance of conservation in maintaining biodiversity

Who can join this programme?

We welcome all students of P5 and P6 in 2027 to attend.

Will the stus be separated by level?

Depending on the total HC, students will largely be split by level.
