Students of Grade 4 visited the Delhi zoo as a part of educational excursion on 22nd Aug, 2019 which helped them recap their concept of Ecosystem under the Transdisciplinary Theme “Sharing the Planet”. The visit offered them an opportunity to see the wild animals in their natural habitat. They could understand the importance of biotic and abiotic factors in an ecosystem. The visit set their thinking hats on and had loads to ask about the animals in the varied ecosystems in the zoo. The sight of white swans swimming on the smooth surface of clean water and felcons taking flight above the pond was a wonderful delight. They were happy to see all those animals about which they read in books. It was a treat to watch a baby elephant take bath in the small pond. The students got over excited to see the white tiger and Royal Bengal tiger basking under the sun. Other animals that they observed in their natural habitats were rhinos, hippos, monkeys, jaguar, leopard, lion etc…It was indeed an infotainment trip. The thrill and excitement of this visit will stay with them forever in their memories.
