Excursions And Outdoor Education
At our school, we believe that learning extends beyond the classroom walls. Our excursions and educational trips are designed to provide students with real-world experiences that complement their academic studies. These outings offer invaluable opportunities for students to engage with the world around them, deepen their understanding of various subjects, and develop a lifelong love for learning.
Field trips are short, curriculum-based excursions to local sites of interest like Museums, historical landmarks, botanical gardens, and local businesses.

Day Celebrations
The pre-primary days of children are the phase when their cognitive and motor skills takes shape. Developmental and interactive abilities of the children also get noticed during this age. Hence, it is very crucial for the parents at home and teachers in the school to actively engage kids in activities which boost their cognitive abilities. A lot of activities can be done in this regard.
One particular day should be dedicated to each such activities and events. One of the activity can be based on particular day theme. For the rest of the days students can be encouraged to discuss and talk about that particular theme i.e. its significance, importance, uses, etc. The day can be distinguished by asking everyone including teachers to come in theme coloured dress. Various art and craft activities were set up, allowing children to unleash their creativity. They painted, drew, and created colorful artworks under the guidance of teachers. Special activities were organized to strengthen the bond between teachers and their children.
If we are celebrating “water Day”, teachers and children will wear blue dress. Talk about the importance of water and uses of water. What all things are blue in colour in their house and close environment. This can engage the child in a very artistic way. Ask the children to undertake activities using theme in groups.
