Education tour

This year, it was totally a different experience for the children. First time in their life they were able to see inside ship and submarines. As this is the 125th year of celebrations for the Chennai port trust, it was opened for children freely for some days. With special permission, we had arranged the trip on 21st of January 2007. All the children were brought in special contract buses to the port trust, and they were taken in batches to the ship. The mighty ships could give them amazing feeling and they were thrilled to know about the operation and functioning of the ship. They could see a submarine operating. By the side, they visited the beach. They also visited the big Museum of Chennai Egmore where they could see various types and models of human and animal species, sculptures of different metal and stones etc. Materials belonging to different periods were an education to them. They also visited the children’s park where they could see different birds and snakes. They considered it as one of the happiest days in their life. After they came from their educational trip theywereasked to write an essay on their trip. They could recollect and each one could make it in their own style. Photos are attached separately.
