Tent Activity for Grade 1 Students

A Student Driven Approach to experiential learning was witnessed in MRIS-46 Gurugram during the Tent Activity conducted in Grade 1. It showcased the integration of Literacy and CREST under the topic ‘SHELTER’. Tents were pitched in the school ground for the experiential learning. The students shared the problems they would face while living in a tent. They came up with the benefits and disadvantages of a temporary house and permanent house. It was an opportunity for the students to connect with the real life, to engage in critical thinking and acquire problem solving skills. They realized the importance of survival skills, working in collaboration and being empathetic towards each other during adverse situations.
