Field Trip/Tour/Picnic

A field trip was organized for class I students to Parimal Garden on 6^th October, 2023 as a part of their POI unit about ‘Plants’.

The trip's main objective was to make students explore various types of plants they had learnt. The students could identify herbs, shrubs, trees, creepers and climbers by appearance. They were amazed to see the hanging roots of the banyan tree. They also had fun in the play area.

It was an experiential learning for the students.

1^st and 2^nd October 2023

The theme ‘Our Universe’ always raises curiosity among the students to know more facts of the unreachable space.

Teaching children about ocean animals is very important as 75% of earth’s surface is covered with ocean. They can affect weather, food, temperature and even our life as 70%-80% of oxygen is supplied by marine plants. The never-ending water body is filled with various aquatic animals that are interesting, unique and mysterious. Although we have explored only five percent of the water bodies, we have already discovered around 230,000 species. 

The toddlers of Nursery went to Kankaria Zoo on 15^th September, 2023 to see wildlife, a whole new world of wonder. The animals need not be large or exotic: even common wild creatures such as elephants, deer and birds bring a thrill to children. Seeing wild animals in nature can become a child’s treasured memory. Wild animals have certain qualities that make them mysterious and exciting to children. Wild animals have to find their own food and they eat “weird things” like bugs and worms.

In this ever-evolving environment, the education system has made a significant shift by combining traditional and modern technologies to improve comprehension. Practical learning always improves and has a significant influence on the development of young minds. On 25^th August, 2023 students of class IV were exposed to the various biomes and the way each biome generates an environment in which plants can adapt and thrive as a part of Programme of Inquiry Unit “Adaptation of plants”.
