On Wednesday,  July 20 ,2022,  the students of class P2 went on a field trip to Reliance Smart Supermarket as field trips play an important role in learning. They link the classroom experience with the outside world and in doing so,  they drastically improve the process of learning thus giving both the learners and educators valued practical experience.

The children saw a wide variety of food and goods which help us to follow healthy habits on a day-to-day basis.

The students identified healthy and unhealthy food exclaiming confidently that chocolates, ice cream, cakes, chips etc. are unhealthy although they surely were more excited while exploring the junk food zone. They were encouraged to buy healthy food as well as were also curious to see the frozen food section and explored the meat zone. Their observations were not only restricted to food. They also pointed out items that we use to brush teeth, wash hands, take a bath etc. They also spent time discussing floor cleaners, detergents and dishwashing soaps mentioning that they clean the germs.

Hands on practice activity on the topic of Addition and Subtraction was also done. While buying things they were asked to add the price of the total number of items and subtract from ₹200. One of the most common everyday uses for addition and subtraction is when working with money. For example, adding up bills and receipts from supermarkets.

This educational, interactive experience is sure to leave a lasting impression on the young impressionable minds.

The trip was a success as the modernites exhibited a high level of enthusiasm following the essential discipline. It was truly an enriching experience that helped them enhance their social skills as well.
