Tours & Excursions

Trip to Traffic Park

School children are one of the most vulnerable categories of road users. Unlike

grown-ups, children can be easily molded and what they learn at this stage

remains in their minds forever.

The objective of the trip was to educate the

children about various Traffic Rules. The

children were accompanied by school teachers.

On reaching their destination, the children,

after taking a round, were updated about

various road signs and traffic rules that one

needs to follow when on road. The children

grasped the information with utmost interest. It was indeed a learning

experience for the students. Chocolates & certificates were given to students as

a token of love from the authorities.

World Heritage Week

is celebrated in India from 19 – 25 November every year.

The students of class IV were taken for a Heritage walk to Sunder Nursery,

Delhi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, on 27 Nov. 2018 It was led by community

heritage volunteers from Nizamuddin. The main attraction was the Central

Park which has over 300 types of trees, making it Delhi's first arboretum. The

students were amazed to see multi-coloured flower beds, trees laden with fruits

and a pond with lotus of different colours. While exploring this place the

students felt the historical vibes emanating from each and every part of the

nursery.

There are six historical structures within the nursery. Sunder Burj, one of the 6

monuments, is an alluring tomb that features intricate inscriptions on the

walls, and star-shaped patterns on the ceiling. Apart from the historical aspect,

the students also learnt about an environmentally beneficial ecology.

To make the students aware, respect and value the

cultural heritage of our country, an educational trip to

Humayun’s Tomb, New Delhi was organized on 8th

October for students of Class III. The students learnt

about the architectural style of the structure and its

importance in our history. To further enhance their

experience, they also took part in a drawing activity in

the lush green lawns.

The students of Class I went to India Gate, New Delhi on

26th

November,2018. The children were fascinated by the

beauty of the monument. They listened, wide eyed to the

significance of the war memorial which was built in the

memory of the soldiers who laid

down their lives during World

War I and about “Amar Jawan

Jyoti”

They enjoyed the trip on the

bright sunny morning.

My Expressions

The art of storytelling is about bringing stories

to life and puppets provide us with a great way

to do just that. Hand Puppets are an ideal

springboard for developing speaking and

listening skills. Keeping this in mind Story

Narration using hand puppets was held on 13th

October 2018 on the day of the Parents’ Teachers’

Meet.

Children of classes I, II, III & IV narrated different stories like ‘The Ant and

the Dove’, ‘The Wolf and the Seven Kids’, ‘The Lion and the Mouse’ and The

Foolish Monkey’. The children enjoyed narrating different stories and it was a

treat for the parents to see their children perform on stage.
