Visit to the Zoo for Pre-Primary

Each and every animal on Earth has as much right to be here as you and me.

A trip to the National Zoological Park was organised for the students of Pre-Primary on 16th January, 2017. The Delhi Zoo of Delhi is home to several mammals, birds, reptiles and other species in a diverse natural habitat. The afternoon was sunny and pleasant, making it perfect for walking around the zoo.

The students enthusiastically observed an array of animals and birds as their teachers pointed out their special characteristics. They saw some familiar and unfamiliar species of animals and birds the Asiatic Lion, White Tiger, leopard, African Elephant, jaguar, Black Swan, migratory birds, etc. The students were very excited to see animals and birds 'for real' as compared with looking at them in their picture books and on television.

The children happily sang popular rhymes about the animal kingdom like Jungle mein janwar khelte hain and also volunteered interesting facts about the animals they saw. An underlying message learnt on the excursion was the need to love and nurture the animal kingdom which is a gift of Mother Nature.

The experience of the sights, sounds and behaviour of several different species was a particularly special one for the children.
