Classes 3- 5 visit the School eco park

On 5 February 2026, the students of classes III to V of The Indian School – Second Shift embarked on an enriching educational excursion to the School Eco Park. A group of 80 students, accompanied by 4 teachers, departed from School, eager for a day of learning beyond the classroom walls.

The visit provided a refreshing transition from traditional classroom learning to a vibrant natural setting. Surrounded by greenery and well-maintained vegetable beds, the students were introduced to the principles of organic and natural farming. They observed the cultivation of fresh produce such as radish, spinach, fenugreek, and carrots, gaining valuable insights into sustainable practices and the importance of healthy living.

The excursion also offered a rich and immersive scientific learning experience through a carefully curated sequence of interactive models. Students explored fundamental scientific concepts such as speed, friction, gravity, mass and inertia, conservation of energy, and angular momentum through hands'-on observation. They examined the crystal structure of sodium chloride (NaCl), followed by models of DNA, Newton’s Disc, and Newton’s Cradle, which helped them understand motion, energy transfer, and recurring scientific patterns. The optical illusion exhibit and mirror maze enhanced their understanding of light, reflection, and image formation, while spherical mirrors and a parabolic reflector demonstrated the behaviour of light. Spectrum exhibits further illustrated how white light splits into different colours. Throughout the visit, the teachers actively guided the students, encouraging curiosity and helping them connect theoretical knowledge with real-life applications.

One of the most exciting moments of the excursion was the vegetable-picking activity, during which the students enthusiastically harvested fresh produce to take home. Recreational activities such as volleyball and football added fun and vitality to the day.

Overall, the visit was a delightful blend of education and enjoyment, fostering scientific curiosity, environmental awareness, and a lasting appreciation for nature—truly reflecting the essence of experiential learning.
