Trip to National Bal Bhawan Museum : Class III : 5th Feb 2010
The student of class III were taken for an educational cum fun trip to the National Bal Bhawan on 5th Feb 2010. The students were excited and keen to learn the various art and craft activities.
Bal Bhawan is an institution which aims at enhancing the creative potentials of children by providing them various activities, opportunities to interact, experiment, create and perform according to their age, aptitude and ability. It offers a barrier free environment with immense possibilities of innovation minus stress or strain.
The national museum at Bal Bhawan had three facets to it. It housed an aquarium, a sun (solar) museum and a doll museum. We saw awe inspiring artifacts, toys & dolls from various countries, stone & bronze objects, traditional jewellery, ancient utensils, art & craft material & musical instruments. The museum fulfilled its aim to inspire children and help them develop a better sense of their worlds past and present.
The students attended a variety of workshops like – dance, woodwork, art & craft, needle work, clay & pottery, origami & paper craft etc. Each workshop could accommodate a group of twenty students and the volunteer teachers taught them the required skill. Students learned dance steps (kathak), mat weaving, making friendship bands (using paper beads), wood art and little objects crafted with clay. The students were completely engaged and absorbed in the activities, it was truly a learning experience.
