Farm comes to Life at Oakridge

HYDERABAD, India - Dec. 2, 2016 - PRLog -- Oakridge International School recently conducted a 'Farm Fest' for all their students' on-campus to give them a taste of life on the farm. The teachers converted the entire school football field into a giant farm that included live animals, fresh fruits & vegetable stalls, farm equipment, bullock cart, sunflower fields, pumpkins and everything else you get to see in a typical village farm. By bringing the farm alive at the Oakridge Campus the teachers not only aimed to teach the students about the life at a farm but also the importance of Mother Nature. Life at a farm is not as easy as in town and teaches key attributes like sacrifice, sharing and caring to the people living there.

'Experiential learning' or learning through experiences is a key part of the teaching methodology adopted at Oakridge. The school has always believed in teaching their students with a beyond the classroom methodology for a better learning experience. The bookish knowledge is never sufficient for a learner until they explore and research about a topic themselves.

The one of its kind event truly gave a farm experience to children and parent alike. Lots of fun learning activities and games were also organized for the children like "Feed the Pig", "Pin the Tail to the Horse" and lot more. Children wore traditional attire for the party and got their pictures clicked at the Photo Booth in the farm. The children witnessed live pottery making and tried their hands in it to make a small pot. There were puppet shows, Pumpkin Bowling and lots more. At the end of the day, children were asked to write a feedback about their experience and learning's. Also, they were given Seed Packets as a token of gift inspiring them to make a kitchen garden of their own.
