Field trips are a way of enhancing classroom learning by making real world connections. The field trips give students the opportunity to observe a particular environment that enables first-hand experience of what they are learning. Firsthand experience can provide children with information and a level of understanding that adds elements of realism to their play, and enriches their overall learning. Nursery children went for their field trip to Birds’ Aviary, Post Office, Spencers’ and Sayaji Garden Zoo.
