As part of field trip our grade 2 children visited the railway station at Tuni. There the children observed the different vehicles in the parking area of the railway station. They observed cars, vans, autos, rickshaws, cycles, bikes, scooters, etc. The auto drivers explained the way of getting on and off the vehicles. They shared the do’s and don’ts while travelling. Then the children stood on the platform and observed the goods and passenger trains running on the tracks. They keenly observed the tracks, engine, compartments and wheels of the trains. They also found the way the passengers buy tickets at the railway counters and board the train. They also met the railway employees such as station master, ticket collector, guard, porters there. This trip is a wonderful practical learning experience for them.
On the occasion of Children's Day, all the students of Sri Prakash kids kingdom enjoyed the food sharing. This event made the children understand the importance of Greens, which are essential for a healthy life, aligning with this year's chosen theme.
Senior Principal, Mr. M. V. V. S. Murthy, interacted with the children and advised them to listen to their brain, not their tongue, when choosing food items to build a strong and healthy body. He also distributed prizes to the winners of games and sports from LKG to 3rd class .All the teachers and students worked together to prepare articles and projects on the theme of Greens.The children from play school to Grade 5 worshipped Tulasi and Amla plants during the auspicious month of Karthikam..

They also shared information about edible leaves,- Spinach, Sorrel, Amaranthus, curry leaves, mint, coriander, and others.

Learning Outcome: Children will be able to explore different modes of transport and traffic rules.
As part of our curriculum, we have field trip to a railway station, traffic signals, zebra crossing and Footpath. The children first observed the vehicle on road such as cars, motorbikes, auto rickshaws, rickshaws, buses and so on. They not only counted the number of wheels each vehicle had but also observed the size and shape of them.
Next, the children noticed a train moving on the track. They also identified that it had more wheels and run faster than other vehicles. The children differentiated that some vehicles like cars, buses moved on road and vehicles like train moves on the track. The children observed the traffic lights and understood the vehicles stopped when the signal showed red, moved when it showed green and waited when it showed yellow.
Later, they experienced the way they had to cross the road using zebra crossing and the safe place to pedestrians on the road is footpath. This trip will certainly help the children mind the traffic rules for their safety in crowded traffic.
Learning outcome: Students will be able to understand the structure and functioning of the local self-government. As a part of our school curriculum students of Grade -4 visited Municipal office in Tuni. The students understood that there are 30 Wards with 30 Council members.
The Children met the commissioner, Mr. Venkat Rao and also observed the different departments and their functions such as Revenue Department which collects taxes such as house Tax, shop tax, site tax and water tax.Sanitary department maintains the cleanliness of drainage, collection of garbage from roads. Town planning, which takes care of streetlights and buildings and repairing for running of schools.
