“Exploring the City: Our School’s Metro Adventure” As part of our ongoing efforts to provide experiential learning opportunities, our school recently organized an educational trip to the newly built Metro Station in our vicinity. This exciting outing aimed to introduce our students to the convenience, safety, and comfort of public transportation. Over 300 students from our school Suyog Sunderji Wisdom School visited Pune metro recently.

Accompanied by 10 teachers and 5 support staff, as children boarded the metro, the excitement was palpable. They were wide-eyed, taking in the colorful ads and sounds of the train. This was their first time riding the subway, and every moment felt like an adventure. The teachers encouraged them to look out the windows and spot landmarks along the way. This was a chance to observe the hustle and bustle of our city, from the towering skyscrapers to the colorful street art. Day 2: Grade 3rd to Grade 8th Older students undertook a longer journey from Ramwadi to Ruby Hospital and back. This trip allowed them to appreciate the efficiency and reliability of public transportation. As they traveled, they observed the diverse crowd, learned about route navigation, and understood the importance of following safety guidelines. The journey back was filled with laughter and chatter about our experiences. Key Takeaways: 1.
