Nursery Outing Report
The Nursery class went for their first outing of 2025 to Niathu Park on 21st February 2025. A total of 67 students, along with 12 teaching and 4 non-teaching staff, participated in the outing.
The outing was conducted to provide children with an opportunity for outdoor learning and recreational activities. The trip aimed to enhance their social skills, sensory exploration, and appreciation of nature in a safe and enjoyable environment.
Prior to the trip, the students were briefed on safety rules and expectations before departure. A headcount was taken before boarding the bus, ensuring that every child was accounted for.
The bus journey was filled with excitement as the children eagerly anticipated their adventure. They sang nursery rhymes and observed the passing scenery with fascination. Teachers and assistants kept the energy positive by engaging the children in singing and having short conversations.
Some children expressed their curiosity about the trip in the following manner:
Nilo from Milky Ways said, “Look, it’s a tractor,” after seeing one on the way.
Chenden from Tiny Twinkles said, “The bus is moving up and down,” when the bus started moving.
Yimnir from Angel Star excitedly said, “Wow! I see so many JCBs.”
Nilo from Milky Ways pointed at the rail track and said, “It’s a rail station,” as the bus passed by it.
After reaching the park, Akivini from Tiny Twinkles said, “Yippee! We have reached the park. Now we will go inside and play.”
