Real life experiences leave memorable effects on the little minds. To make the learning experiences more realistic, a field trip was organised for grade 1 students to a railway station, bus station and petrol bunk. The purpose of the visit was to acquaint the students with the public transportation facility used by most of the people in our country. It helped the students to get hands-on experience to observe how people travel. The children observed the ticket counter, the indicators displaying the time and name of the trains, waiting rooms, the guard who waves the green flag and red flag as a signal for the loco pilot. They observed different kinds of passengers and continuous announcements made in all three languages. Children were taught the uses of petroleum products, they learnt the rules to be followed in public places. It was a fruitful learning experience for the students.
