An Educational Trip to Spencer’s

 “It’s better to see something than to hear about it a thousand times.”

Every expedition made is an experience which leaves the students pondering and implores them to think.

In order to give hands on experience on the topic ‘Shelter and Community’, On 3^rd October, 2015, the students of class I to III (i-sections) were taken to Spencer’s, one of the convenience stores in Kaushambi.

The questionnaires were prepared and handed over to the students. The students spent almost two hours at the store and saw lots of significant household items and groceries under one roof. Each and every item was significantly stocked. The children keenly observed the different sections in the store, neatly stacked with similar items. The students went from one counter to another. The excitement was high for the tiny-tots when they saw assorted range of toffees and chocolates. The staff at the store answered the queries of our students patiently. The teachers briefed the students about various kinds of items kept in the store and helped them to complete their questionnaires. In this way, the students got better understanding of the subject as well as its application to their own life and community.

It was a remarkable and fun-filled experience for the kids as they came back with a smile on their faces.
