TRIP TO AGORA

On Thursday 3 November 2016, students of grade 4 were taken on a short excursion to Agora. The initiative was taken by the English Literature teachers to incorporate literary knowledge with real life experience. In the most recent story, The Piece of String by Guy de Maupassant, students learned how imagery was used by the writer to bring a particular scene of a market place to life.  With the hopes of giving students the opportunity to do the same, we asked them to observe the environment and activities carried out in the market using their five senses. After returning from the trip, the students were encouraged to note down their observations which will be used in a classroom project on the following week. During the trip the students also enjoyed purchasing snacks for the ride back to the school. Overall, the students relished themselves immensely during this short but very informative excursion.
