Field Trip to Post office Jr.KG [2015-16] WIS,Malad

A worthwhile visit to the Post Office

Write, write, write your cards,
And lots of letters, too.
I will bring them to your friends,
And they will write back soon.

Before the time of the internet, the telephone, or even the telegraph, mail communication was a primary way of contacting others in faraway places, when actually travelling there would have taken days, weeks, or months. Mail continues to be a primary way in which shared communication occurs over long distances. However, it has been largely supplanted by message services handled electronically (e-mail), rather than by hard copy, human-delivered postal systems. From the Pigeons to the Internet

So on 30^th of July 2015, Thursday, our Jr. KG Wittians along with their teachers went to meet one of the most important community helper – The Postman and the Mail carriers . Children were enthusiastic as they all had a special letter to post to their parents. It was a handon experience for the children to see how a post office works and how the postman goes about delivering the letters.

The field trip came to a happy end with the children’s anticipating smiles about when their parents will receive their letters.

Blooming Wittians visit the Hair Salon.

How she snipped it,
she curled it and clipped it,
she twisted and twirled it,
she furled it and whirled it.
She prodded and primped it,
creatively crimped it,
she washed it and scrubbed it,
conditioned and rubbed it.
She rinsed it and dried it,

All done!  said the hairdresser.
Now, time to pay!

It is a field that provides more opportunity for creativity. Our hair plays an important role in our appearance. Your hair cut defines your face and personality, and a hairdresser’s job is to make our hair look good.

A field trip is a great way to impact a child’s learning, it enhances their learning experience. So our blooming Wittians of Jr.KG visited the Big Boss hair salon on 28^th July, 2015 Tuesday.

The day finally came to an end and the children’s smiles spoke volumes about how happy they were with the trip.
