FIELD TRIP TO NEHRU SCIENCE CENTRE
The children of Junior Kg. were taken for a field trip to The Nehru
Science Centre in Worli on Saturday, 10th of December, 2011.
The theme for the children of Junior Kg. during the month of December
was Natural Giants, Man-made Giants and Big-Bigger-Biggest. For the better
understanding of this concept, they were taken for a field trip to the Nehru
Science Centre.
On the way to the Nehru Science Centre, children were shown the Worli
Sea-link Bridge and were given the information about it also being one of the
man-made giants in the city of Mumbai. They were also shown the various skyscrapers
and explained about them too being Man-made giants.
At the Nehru Science Centre, children were taken for a Science
show, where children were shown natural giants such as the Niagara waterfalls,
which is the largest waterfall on Earth. The children were also shown the
visuals of the Sahara desert in Africa and Amazon forest in South America. An
explanation about the animals in the Amazon forest, such as elephants,
hippopotamus, giraffe, different varieties of monkeys, lion, snake, different
varieties of birds, bugs and tall trees was also provided. These visuals helped
the children to co-relate with the teaching concepts of Natural Giants and
Big-Bigger-Biggest. The show also included visuals about the Tibetan Civilization.
The last part of the show was about the beauty and wealth of nature.
The field trip was highly effective in making the children
understand about the concept of the month. Moreover, they had great fun as it
was a different kind of an experience for them.
