Exploring about everything around oneself is the
key to learning. And learning with curiosity is the
basis of education.
The students are Isha Vidhya are exposed to
various activities based on their curriculum as well
as for extra-curricular interests. Learning about the
nature, and especially about the living things that are
not human are an important part of the learning process.
As part of this, the Tuticorin (Thoothukudi) school
of Isha Vidhya took their 7th grade students on a
field trip to the bird sanctuary at Koonthakulam in
Tirunelveli district. A lesson on bird’s sanctuary in
the curriculum enabled this trip.
Students observed various kinds of migratory birds
at the sanctuary. They gathered interesting information
on birds from the forest officer. They learnt that
this year has seen very few migratory birds to the
sanctuary. That’s a pointer for them to learn why that
is so.
The students were also curious about many other
things, and hence posed the related questions to the
forest officers. After a tour of the sanctuary, the students
played in a park for a little while and then returned to
their school.
