On August 18th, 2023, Ekya School BTM organised an unforgettable field trip for Grade 1 students to The Big Barn Farm, located near Bannerghatta National Park. This immersive experience provided a unique opportunity for students to connect with nature and enhance their classroom learning.
The Big Barn Farm, known for its idyllic setting and educational programs, offered the young learners a chance to explore a working farm environment. Students interacted with various animals, fostering a sense of empathy and responsibility towards creatures great and small. Engaging in activities like feeding cows and fish further solidified their understanding of farm life.
A highlight of the trip was the seed-planting activity. By nurturing their own tiny plants, students gained valuable insights into plant growth and developed a deeper appreciation for the natural world.
This field trip marked a significant step in Ekya Schools’ ongoing pursuit of educational experiences that go beyond textbooks. By fostering a love for nature and environmental awareness, Ekya is nurturing the next generation of responsible global citizens.
