Pre school and Pre primary visit National Bal Bhawan
"A beautiful journey that began with the purpose of an educational tour and ended with the creation of cherished memories."
Field trips provide students with an ideal opportunity to explore, observe and learn in an interactive environment. Being in a recreational setting makes learning more engaging and meaningful, creating experiences that extend beyond traditional classroom practices.
On 31 January 2025, the little learners from the Pre School and Pre Primary embarked on an enriching educational excursion to National Bal Bhawan, which was filled with creativity, craftsmanship and discovery.
The students witnessed a variety of creative and skill-based activities. They watched artisans engaged in pottery making, skilfully shaping clay into beautiful pieces. They observed children creating models from waste materials, reinforcing the idea of sustainability and innovation. The visit also introduced them to knitting classes, where they saw how patience and precision create intricate patterns. Additionally, they enjoyed watching fellow young learners participating in dance classes, celebrating movement and rhythm.
As they walked around, they came across a wooden park, where intricately carved wooden sculptures showcased impressive craftsmanship. The beautifully designed structures added to the charm of the surroundings and captured the children’s curiosity.
The excursion was not solely about arts and crafts; it also provided valuable exposure to educational exhibits. The children saw various cities and states painted on the walls, reflecting India’s rich cultural diversity. They visited a museum featuring medieval utensils, puppets, a mirror maze and traditional clothing from different states. These exhibits gave them a deeper appreciation of history and craftsmanship.
The children also experienced the chirping of parrots and flocks of birds, connecting with nature. They learned about traffic rules and road safety, thereby enhancing their awareness of responsible behaviour. A highlight of the trip was observing a variety of fish, which fascinated the young learners.
The museum provided non-formal learning opportunities, featuring exclusive galleries such as “Surya”, “Hamara Bharat”, “Gaurav Gatha” and “Creative Works of Children”. The walls were beautifully adorned with handicrafts and paintings, while animal models captured the children’s curiosity. The craft items made by the children were thoughtfully displayed on boards and tables, showcasing their creativity.
Another fascinating area featured models of village life, where students were captivated by realistic depictions of rural settings. They enthusiastically engaged in drawing up buckets from the well, gaining insights into traditional ways of living.
