Buk bilong Pikinini enthusiastically marked World Wildlife Day on March 5th at its schools/ library learning centres (LLCs), with a particular focus on the diverse range of wildlife found in Papua New Guinea. To engage students, a variety of fun activities were arranged, including the use of PNG animal plush toys generously provided by BbP’s donors CPL and Brian Bell. BBP stated that through hands-on exploration with these toys, children were able to explore and learn more about various local wildlife found in the country, specifically the cuscus, tree kangaroo, bird of paradise, cassowary, and pig-nosed turtle. “During the interactive sessions, the students were encouraged to identify and discuss the different body parts of these animals, learn about how they utilize them, and imitate the unique sounds they make.” “Additionally, the young learners gained valuable insight into the natural habitats of these wildlife species and their geographical distribution within PNG.” Incorporating literacy into the celebration, the students enjoyed reading BbP's published book titled "When I Grow Up, I Want to be a Zookeeper", which highlights the remarkable wildlife of Papua New Guinea. Furthermore, the students expressed their creativity by partaking in a colouring activity featuring the "Animals of PNG" in the BbP's activity book. This colouring book will serve as a wonderful resource throughout the year, aiding them in learning about the diverse array of animals indigenous to PNG and their cultural significance. The fun-filled event was further elevated as children created and adorned delightful animal face masks, adding an exciting touch to their wildlife exploration journey.
