Trip to Nehru Planetarium

Man has invented computers and robots and has reached to space but still the celestial bodies have attracted us. Since years, mothers have used moon and stars to pacify their infants, their lullabies have beautifully mentioned them and have made them curious to know more about these fascinating objects hanging in the sky. These planets have secured an important place in the curriculum of these children. Books have provided a great amount of information but to quench the thirst of our students to know more about planets, stars, and constellations, a visit was organized to the prestigious Nehru Planetarium, Delhi. Children enjoyed their bus ride sang songs, played riddle games. As they entered, they were welcomed by the first satellite launch vehicle-SLV-3 which brought a seven-mile smile on their faces. After reaching there they enjoyed their lunch and gave the shutterbug a chance to capture their fun filled activities. Now it was the time to enter the dome, their excitement was doubled. They were thrilled to see the space suit worn by Sq. Ldr. Rakesh Sharma during his maiden visit to space. Though it was dark inside the dome but the whispering of excited little wonders was telling the level of enthusiasm. The Science teacher and the Social Science teacher explained them more about these sparkling objects in the sky. Now it was the time to visit The Nehru Sangrahalay. Children were thrilled to see the newspapers’ cuttings with the news of Non-Co-operation Movement, Civil Disobedience Movement, and Quit India Movement. They got back to school with a bag mixed with excitement, pride, and knowledge.
