  Field Trip to Faunaland and Skyworld

After two years of having to do virtual field trips, the EC students were excited to finally experience an on-site field trip this term. Field trips are great ways to enhance students' learning experiences by incorporating the community into their curriculum, especially for early childhood students. This real-world setting experience will strengthen their observation skills by immersing them in sensory activities. Furthermore, it has been our commitment to supplement our student's educational experience with various learning activities.

 

On March 13, 2023, the nursery level students visited Faunaland in Ancol, which is a zoo and conservation center for endemic species such as the African White Lion, White Siamang, and Grizzled Tree Kangaroo. The students had the opportunity to observe these animals up close in a semi-open area. They enjoyed being in a green environment with fresh air and could even pet some animals, such as goats, ponies, donkeys, and turtles. One of the teachers shared that another highlight of the visit was cruising around the water area to see the activities of the animals that lived there. To conclude their field trip, the students watched a bird show where they could see the birds flying freely and witness professional demonstrations of various attractions.

 

The Kindergarten level students went on a field trip to SkyWorld, an outer space, and aeronautics-themed educational park, in Taman Mini Indonesia Indah on March 14–15, 2023. The students explored the exhibition area to learn about rockets, astronomers, and planets by observing the displays and listening to the guide's explanations. Some of the students had questions out of curiosity and were able to connect their prior knowledge about the solar system unit that they had previously learned. Additionally, the students participated in a hands-on activity by shooting water rockets, which helped our kinesthetic learners develop their understanding. The field trip program ended with the students watching the planetarium show, which provided an active learning experience about planets, the sun, the moon, and astronomy. Our students learned new information on this field trip that we hope will stimulate their interest and inspire them to dig deeper into their studies. We were thrilled to be able to do our first field trip safely since the pandemic. We extend our gratitude to all parents, teachers, staff, and students who supported this program. See you on the next field trip! Gan en
