On the occasion of National Farmers Day, the children of Sakalya Wisdom Early Years embarked on an enlightening and joyful visit to Arun Farms, a beautiful farm cum nursery that offers an abundance of greenery and an array of fruit trees. This experience was not just a trip but an opportunity to deepen the children’s understanding of the efforts and dedication of farmers, who play an indispensable role in our lives.
A Glimpse of Arun Farms
The visit to Arun Farms was a sensory delight for the children. The farm is home to a variety of small fruit trees, including apple, orange, lemon, and berries, sparking curiosity and excitement in the little ones. The children also had the chance to explore the greenhouse, marveling at the structured environment where plants thrive under care and precision. The vast expanse of greenery and the serene ambiance filled the children with a sense of wonder and joy, creating an unforgettable connection with nature.
Linking Learning to Real Life
At Sakalya, gardening is an integral part of our experiential learning approach. Our children regularly tend to the roof garden at school, growing vegetables and flowers as part of their curriculum. This visit to Arun Farms allowed them to witness gardening and farming on a much larger scale, broadening their perspective and appreciation for the effort and hard work that farmers invest in providing us with fresh produce.
Through this visit, the children gained a deeper understanding of the critical role farmers play in our health and happiness. They learned to value the toil and dedication behind every fruit, vegetable, and grain that reaches our plates.
A Thoughtful Takeaway
To commemorate the visit, each child received a special bookmark inscribed with a heartfelt message: “Happy Farmers Day” and a gentle reminder to always be thankful to the farmers who feed the nation. These small takeaways serve a dual purpose—a tangible memory for the children and a moment of reflection for parents, encouraging them to acknowledge and appreciate these unsung heroes in their busy lives.
Cultivating Gratitude and Awareness
By visiting Arun Farms, the children not only experienced the joy of being surrounded by nature but also learned invaluable lessons about hard work, sustainability, and gratitude. Such experiences reinforce our mission at Sakalya Wisdom Early Years to provide holistic and meaningful learning opportunities that nurture curious minds and compassionate hearts.
We hope this visit inspired both the children and their families to embrace a deeper respect for farmers and their immense contributions to society. Here’s to celebrating the farmers who make our world healthier and happier, not just on National Farmers Day, but every single day!
