Kindergarteners enjoyed their
educational visits to the Crafts Museum and Garment/Home Furnishing
Manufacturing Unit relating to their current inquiry on products passing
through many changes before they are used or consumed. The visits were a great
learning experience, since our students identified stages of changes of
different products.
The students were delighted to watch artisans working on wood, fabric,
paper and bamboo to produce a variety of beautiful art pieces. They observed
tools like blocks used for printing, cutters, and engravers to form designs.
Kindergarteners were amazed to know that some art forms are derived from
plants, and animal hide can be used to create a variety of products such as
bags, and wallets.
The factory visit gave an insight into different areas of a factory.
They observed different materials, and workers cutting the fabric, creating
designs using thread, beads, and sequins, stitching, finishing and packing.
Our
students inquired from the workers about their specific tasks and they really
enjoyed the demonstration of creating jewellery from fabric and beads. We thank
and appreciate the support of our parents Mrs and Mr. Housego (parents of Meher
Housego KG C) who gave us this opportunity to visit their factory and extended
their enthusiasm and hospitality.
These experiences will surely help our little ones make connections with
their learning.
