A break from the every day routine,an outing,a new travel experience – these are all welcomed by everyone and we look forward for such wonderful things to happen.When it comes to school life in particular,every child eagerly looks forward for school outings and excursions.
Children at Ekadaksha too love outings and van travel.The children are taken out for excursion every year to explore new places and gain good exposure and experiences.
This academic year,we visited the VGP Marine kingdom.Watching the colorful fishes swimming in water is always relaxing and it soothes one’s mind and soul.Many places and homes maintain aquariums for giving people a refreshing and relaxing feel.Our trip to VGP Marine kingdom was so refreshing and relaxing for the children and teachers.
Children enjoyed the diverse range of marine species,different kinds of fish – big and small,underwater experience,walking through the tunnels,taking pictures at the selfie spots.They also had a surprise there,where few of our children – Deva and Vishal colored the fish on the paper and were surprised to see their paper fish getting transformed into colorful fish swimming on the screen.

After watching the lovely,colorful fish,they also had fun by playing a few games.Time ticked off quickly and it was a day well spent at the VGP Marine kingdom.
Right from packing their backpacks and boarding the van,enjoying their favorite songs and music in the van,experiencing the under water marine world,having lunch together with their peers and teachers,packing their bags and getting back to the center in van – the entire day was filled with memorable moments to remember and cherish forever.

The puppet "Benny the pig" was introduced first.Benny then brought along few of his friends - Dog,Parrot,Duck and Cows.
Benny introduced the puppets one by one.Different sounds were made for each puppet which the children repeated.
Dog made a unique "Bow..bow.." sound and sang a song too,Parrot made a "Ki..Ki.." sound and sang a song.Duck came with a "buck buck buk" sound and sang a duck rhyme. Then came two cows - chittu and chottu who interacted with each other. Chittu and chotu then interacted with a few children.They had a lively chat with chittu and chottu.
By making sounds and singing along with the puppets,children had a fun time enjoying and laughing out loud.
Here are few pictures of the interactive puppet show.

After the sports day practice,it was time for a fun football match.
Few friends and well wishers of Ekadaksha joined us to be a part of the fun football match.
Children of each house got the opportunity to interact and play with new people.Each house had nearly 3-4 people,few of them already known to children of ekadaksha and few of them were new faces.To get a feel of ease,each house sat in a circle and everyone got introduced to each other. They had few chill conversations to develop a rapport.Non-verbal children used their Avaz app to tell about themselves to the group.After they got along well,they had their practice session house wise.The children kicked the ball to each other towards the goal with the help and encouragement of their new friends.
After practice session,they were all set to play the match.In the match played between Green house Vs Yellow house,Green house won the match.In the match between Blue and Red house,Blue house won.Finals was played between Green and Blue houses. The Blue house were the winners of the football tournament.
It is through moments like this,we realise how beautifully inclusion can happen in a fun manner.Our children were happy mingling with their new friends casually and the friends too had a lovely time with our children.

The children had the complete movie watching experience right in our premises- from buying their ticket to watching a movie with an interval and sharing their thoughts on a vox pop.
This movie time was planned and executed by Ms.Akila,Special educator,ELC.
To prepare and make the children catch the excitement of watching the movie,announcement was given daily in the assembly 2-3 days before the event date.On the movie day, the movie hall was arranged with chairs in rows which were numbered. A real Ticket counter was set for the children to buy tickets.Children were given fake money to buy tickets.After the child paid the money,tickets were issued.At the entry point of the movie hall,one of our staff stood to check the tickets and directed them to the particular seat after checking the seat numbers. Once all the children and teachers got seated in their respective seats,the show began.
The children watched the movies "Dora the explorer" and "Andy's tale - a movie about a dog that assists people who need help". They also had a small interval in between.
The real time movie watching experience was brought in our own premises.Children loved this and had fun.Not only was this fun,this also prepares them for cinema going in the real world.
