Whitefield-Trip to Yoga Nikaya Nov 2014
The Whitefield School primary students had a great overnight trip to Yoga Nikaya near Hosur. Nikaya has a very large variety of plants. It also has an astronomical observatory. On the first day, Children learnt about stars, planets, amature astronomy, constellations (and their names) etc. They even learnt about Stellarium, a software that simulates the night sky. Later, they got to see stars through an actual 14 inch telescope from a professional observatory. The next day, they were given a tour of the botanical gardens and were explained about the various plants and their characteristics. On the whole, it was a memorable trip for both the children and the teachers.
