Field trip day 1 Hoskote cluster

We strongly believe that beyond academics  education must involve practical  and experiential  learning,
Learning through experiencing creates  a life long Impact , in a very short duration a lot can be achieved.
Its not just about  Learning about  Academic Syllabus material , but also a lot about how various things work ,  about science, civic issues, the social structure, the diversity,  History, architecture,

A well designed and organaized field trip can easily Inspire  many to think beyond their  usual  thinking.

The Hindustan Aeronautical Limited  has a beautiful Museum the biggest one in Asia specially dedicated to Military Aircrafts,
In display are some of the  Aircrafts, helicopters, Trainers, Engines, RADARS  and a lot of  Amazing and educative  material enough to kindle new imagination in everyone.
this included an Audio Visual show highlighting about the HIstory of HAl and also Indian Military Aviation.

Our next Stop   the Nehru Planetarium is situated in the Heart of bangalore, The theater has vrious shows , both in Kannada and in english,
  the kannada show started at :02:30 pm ,
however before the show we had enough time for the choldren to play  in the science park inside the premises , and we had also  organized for sumptious meals for all at this place.

the audio visual show covers  some interesting topics related to Astronomy,  Planets, stars, Galaxies,  , this was very exciting .


After visiting the Planetarium the team moved towards  Visvesvaraya Technological and Industrial Museum,  on the way  passed by the Vidhana Soudha, High Court, and some of the important Buildings in Karnataka,

The Museum Visit  was exciting and  very informative to children,   various sections in the Museum  encouraged kids to look beyond    and think much Beyond, an eye opener for many,


The Bus travel  itself was filled with Fun  and Joy and the whole bus was  in high pitch energy with some of the choiciest Songs over games of Antakshari,

lets have the pictures  do some Speaking














































































































































so The trip came to a conclusion with all returning to their homes,  the teachers have asked for more such trips and if possible for multiple days trip ,

the other aspect of these field trips is they give the teachers a time to look at students in a different environment . and within teachers too there is a  different connect .

As for me I am a total outdoor person and love experiential education,  I had  a lot of fun interacting with children guiding them thropugh the trip .

signing out for now until next update
