“Learning is a treasure that will
follow its owner everywhere.”
The
power of real-world experience is crystal clear. Students are visual learners
and school field trip is a one such effective education activity for the
students that help facilitate fast and efficient learning.
On the
occasion of Gandhi Jayanti, students of grade I were taken on a field trip to Mani Bhavan Gandhi Sangrahalaya - a museum and historical building which was the focal
point of Gandhi's political activities in Mumbai
between 1917 and 1934.
The transportation
to and from the museum was a pleasant open-social time for them. The drive
through the Bandra - Worli Sea Link was an added attraction to the trip.
On reaching Mani Bhavan students made their way to the staircase, dotted with
Gandhi’s pictures depicting his life led them to the first floor which has a
big photo gallery where
photographs of his childhood till his assassination were displayed along with
press clippings. The students were thrilled to see Gandhiji’s shoes, the
bowl and the tumbler he used in jail.
Students got a view
of Gandhiji’s room on the second floor which has been preserved as far as
possible in its original setting. Through a glass partition they could see two
of his spinning wheels, a book, bed and his other personal belongings.
It was truly an amazing experience for our little wittians.
