“Learning is fun when I get to
explore and ask questions. I want to do more.”
Field trips help students interact
with what they are learning. The experience goes beyond reading about a
concept; students are able to see it, manipulate it or participate in it
physically. Students are able to see elements with their eyes rather than
reading about it. Same was experienced by WIS Bhilwara students of
Grade VI to VIII in a trip to a bank where they practiced being customers. They learned to fill
withdrawal and deposit slips.
This trip to HDFC Bank is an
attempt to show kids how Math skills apply to everyday life and work when they
grow up. When they arrived at HDFC Bank, it was decked out with Welcome signs,
the first stop for the students was the New Accounts office manned by Mr.
Surender Maheshwari (Branch Manager). He showed them how he performs the
everyday tasks of his job like opening bank accounts for customers, making
different entries etc. He explained in detail the complete process of opening
an account and doing different transactions in bank. Students observed many
basic operations and basic products of a bank. The trip was very informative for young minds.
We thank the manager of HDFC bank Mr
Surendra Maheshwari and the supportive staff members.
