Marybert School Engages Students in Hands-On Paddy Plantation Activity
Marybert School recently took a significant step towards experiential learning by organizing a hands-on paddy plantation activity. This initiative aimed to teach students about agriculture and the importance of plantation, while also allowing them to connect with nature in a fun and engaging manner.
On the day of the plantation, the school grounds were abuzz with excitement as students from various grades gathered to participate. The children eagerly rolled up their sleeves, ready to get their hands dirty and immerse themselves in the experience. Guided by their teachers and local farmers, they learned about the traditional methods of paddy cultivation, from preparing the soil to planting the seedlings.
The activity not only provided valuable agricultural knowledge but also emphasized the importance of outdoor play and interaction with nature. As they worked, students enjoyed playing with dirt, splashing in puddles, and discovering the simple joys of handling water, trees, sticks, and even tadpoles. This hands-on experience helped them develop a deeper appreciation for the environment and the natural processes that sustain life.
Sabina Thapa, the Principal of Marybert School, highlighted the educational significance of the event. “In today’s digital age, it’s crucial for children to reconnect with nature and understand where their food comes from. This paddy plantation activity not only educates them about agriculture but also encourages them to enjoy the outdoors and learn through play.”
The day was filled with laughter, learning, and a sense of accomplishment as the students successfully planted the paddy. The activity concluded with a reflection session where students shared their experiences and the insights they gained from the plantation process.
Marybert School believes that such practical learning opportunities are essential for the holistic development of students. By engaging in activities like paddy plantation, children learn valuable life skills, develop a sense of responsibility towards the environment, and foster a love for nature.
This paddy plantation activity is part of Marybert School’s ongoing efforts to provide diverse and enriching learning experiences for its students. The school community is committed to nurturing well-rounded individuals who are not only academically proficient but also environmentally conscious and connected to their roots.
The success of the paddy plantation day has inspired plans for future outdoor educational activities, ensuring that students continue to learn, grow, and play in harmony with nature. Marybert School extends its gratitude to all the teachers, students, and local farmers who made this event possible and looks forward to more such enriching experiences.
