Field trip to Plant Nursery

Date : February 13, 2020

To give a hands on experience related to the theme ‘Environment’, Grade V students were taken to a nearby plant nursery “Pallavi “ on Thursday, 13.2.2020. The objective of the activity was to reinforce the importance of Plants and to inculcate the love for the environment and to relish the beauty of nature. The students were briefed that the garden has a collection of a range of plants labelled with their botanical names. Children observed and explored a variety of shrubs, cacti, creepers, herbs, fruits, and colourful flowers and eagerly interacted with the gardener. They were curious to know about the surrounding and were excited to see the pots of varying shapes and sizes. Gardener showed manure and fertilizer and then said that fertilizers and manure are required for plant growth. Students were responsible and refrained themselves from touching the plants and plucking leaves or flowers as instructed to them. This field trip sensitized the students towards caring for the environment and the importance of planting more trees.
