Educational visits are an important part of the school
curriculum since the children get to learn a lot from the field trips that may
be missed in a classroom environment.
History becomes more interesting when we actually visit the places of
importance and experience the beauty of the historical monuments.
Two busloads of happy teachers and students of classes of 5th,
6th and 7th left for Mysore on the morning of 8th
November 2012 for an educational tour of the Mysore palace and Brindavan
Gardens, stopping en route for piping hot breakfast. Bus journeys on such field
trips are always memorable as they are spiced with fun, laughter, merry-making
with the students dropping their guard around the teachers and the teachers too
joining in the fun with equal fervor.
Our first stop was at Tipu’s Gumbaz where the guide
explained to us the significance of the structure. The fine architecture was
proof of how skilled the builders were.
Refreshed with the tour of the Gumbaz, we proceeded towards
the Mysore Palace, art gallery and then the famous Mysore Zoo. The Zoo was
quite an amazing experience for all of us since it is not every day that we get
to see such varied, colourful birds and magnificent animals at such close
quarters.
Brindavan Gardens was our last stop late in the evening. The
whole place was lit up so well that it was literally a festival of lights!
We returned to school almost at midnight, tired and aching,
yet our spirits were soaring and our hearts filled with energy. We had such a
wonderful time that we wished the day didn’t end so soon.
