Form 1 had the opportunity to
visit the Institute of driving and Traffic Research at Sarai Kale Khan on the
19th Nov, as part of our Unit of Inquiry on Transport.
We began the day with a very
engaging and informative interactive session on basic driving and Traffic rules
by the Deputy Manager of the Institute.
Our little inquirers came up with
some amazingly witty and insightful questions, like, “At what age can I start
driving?”, “What will happen if there were no traffic rules?”, “How fast can a
car go on the road?” etc, during
the session. We were then taken for a walk and
talk tour around the institute where the children were introduced to different
traffic signs and signals. We got to know what those signs meant and why it was
so important for us to follow them.
We ended the day with a little
picnic in the lush green lawns of the institute and the students had a great
time learning and playing together.
On our journey back to the school
the students could be seen excitedly looking out of the bus for traffic signs
on the road and pointing them out.....
Now that’s what we call a fun
learning experience...
