A VISIT TO THE NATIONAL MUSEUM (CLASSES VI AND VII)

DATE: 18^TH JULY 2013

On 18^th July 2013, the students of classes VI and VII of Arwachin International School had a golden opportunity to visit the National Museum, New Delhi which is one of the largest museums of India. The excursion was organized by HT PACE.

The students started from the school at 8:00 am and reached there by 10:00 am. It was a thrilling experience for them to see different varieties of articles ranging from the pre-historic era to the latest modern work of art. The entire museum has been divided into many sections. Each section has different exhibits. The students were thrilled to see the relics and remains of the ancient statues, coins, arms and weapons, household articles used during the Harappa and Mohenjodaro civilization and many more things. It was also a pleasure for them to see the beautiful paintings which depicted the lives of Lord Rama, Krishna and Lord Buddha. The military equipments displayed there of the different periods of history instilled a sense of pride in the students. The entire museum displayed the whole gamut of India’s life and literature.

After the students had enriched themselves with the knowledge of the past, they went to the auditorium to see two documentary films on the life of Mahatma Gandhi.

The visit to the National Museum was a great source of Knowledge, Learning and Experience for the students.

A VISIT TO THE HINDUSTAN PRESS

 On 16^th July’13, the Arwachinians had a life-long experience when they set their feet in the premises of Hindustan Times Press, Noida. The visit was organized by HT Pace, in collaboration with our school, which aimed to cognize the students with the newspaper printing technologies and techniques, which surely left them flabbergasted, all the more urging them to discover the place and the arcane functioning of the machine. Our alacrity was on the zenith of explosion. The way the blank paper was printed bilaterally within milliseconds and the way they compiled themselves was worth appreciating. One of the workers accosted us and gave us a round-about guide on how the machines worked, which colors they used, how the number of newspapers were counted and just so much. The acute visit did actually spell a chronic magic on each one of us, as the experience would stay embedded in our cores forever. The visit inspired us to appreciate the biggest and the most beautiful gift mankind can ever have- the intelligence to create machines and use them for themselves.
