Spring excursion to Lodhi Garden for Pre Primary

Lodhi Garden is known for its monuments set amidst rich flora and fauna. Before Independence, the garden was called Lady Willingdon Park. The garden was first laid in the 15th-16th century. The present day layout dates to 1968. Today, Lodhi Garden is an integral part of the life of Delhis people.

We decided to welcome the spring with a picnic at the Lodhi Gardens on 15th March, 2019 for Pre primary. On the appointed day, we set off from School at 8.30 am for our destination. As the children stepped out of the buses they were surrounded by the natural warmth of the garden. The children were very excited and pranced in glee in the freshness. The flora was fulsome. We then all held hands and began our walk around as a chain.

We looked at the numerous flower and fruit trees and the monuments as we walked around the garden. The children identified some plants that they were familiar with and shared their excitement with their peers. The teachers shared facts about the garden and the seasonal blossoms.

We found a sunny spot and decided to settle down for some free play, games and refreshments. Soon the packed snacks had flown as the children dig in hungrily. The icing on the cake were ducks that the children spotted in the pond, quacking in merriment and paddling away across the pool!

When it was time to return, the teachers had to cajole the little ones as they were very reluctant to leave. It was a rewarding experience packed with both learning and fun for our young learners.
