Global Indian International Schools all over the world follows a practical based learning approach. Students from all the campus are engaged into hands on learning activities to make them understand the concept better. Many topics from the text books (non- science topics also) are taken up and carried out in practical, to ensure clarity in concepts and balance in the information provided at class level.

Walking on the lines of hands on learning, Grade 8 students of GIIS Noida were taken to a farm to experience the process of crop production. They were also taught about its various aspects that allow farmers to produce good crops throughout the year. Students got a chance to interact with farmers who educated them on the basics of sowing process, and how to use different machines to get optimum results.

To give practical knowledge of topics learnt in class, processes involved in crop production was explained in detail. Children even adopted a piece of land under school’s name, and did broadcasting (sowing of wheat seeds) under the guidance of Mrs. Shikha D. Sharma & Mr. Amit Chauhan. To make the learning process more enjoyable and informative, students were also taken to the adjoining nursery and introduced to the processes that involved growing of the saplings, taking care of them and using manures for fruitful produce.

It was a day long activity which involved children being assessed for their internal exams, on the basis of their experience gathered during the field trip. The main objective of the trip was to make students familiar with the concept of crop production and improve their life skills on whole. As students sowed seeds with their own hands, and observed the solar panels being used as renewable source of energy, each one of them acquired great amount of knowledge in terms of the using machines to plough seeds and fertilizers for harvesting good crops.

Future trip to the adopted piece of land under the school’s name will be made to harvest the seeds sown, hence completing their learning about crop production and agricultural farming.
