‘Exploration is the essence of learning; field trips take you beyond the classroom walls to new horizons.’- Daniel J. Boorstin Field trips have a profound impact on enriching children's education. They facilitate experiential learning, which is often more memorable and meaningful than traditional classroom instruction. Lotus Valley International School embraces the idea of providing an array of experiences to its learners, and in consonance with this thought, a delightful trip to Needs supermarket was orchestrated. This enchanting adventure was not just an outing; it was a valuable learning experience that allowed our little explorers to dive into the fascinating world of groceries, fresh produce, and everyday essentials. With their curious minds and boundless enthusiasm, these inquisitive learners discovered the magic hidden within the aisles of the supermarket, gaining practical insights into the concept of shopping while nurturing crucial life skills. This interactive session provided them with a deeper understanding of how a supermarket operates and how essential products reach our homes. In a hands-on approach to learning, every learner had the opportunity to personally select and purchase a product, an experience that not only added to their excitement but also instilled a sense of responsibility and independence. Undoubtedly, the highlight of their visit was the confectionery section, where shelves lined with chocolates and candies elicited beaming smiles and created memories they will cherish forever. Their joy was palpable as they cheerfully carried an assortment of food items back to their homes. This excursion was a wonderful opportunity for our passionate learners to learn, explore, and have fun outside the classroom. These experiences are invaluable, helping our dynamic learners grow and discover the world around them in exciting ways. VISIT TO NEEDS SUPERMARKET Grade Nursery
