Learning brought to life - Rishona Chopra

The book My Good School is about the importance of real-world learning.

In our school, we learnt about the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre. If we, in one of our school trips, visited Jallianwala Bagh, then I suppose it would be real-world learning!

Climbing mountains will demonstrate the fall in air pressure. Floating on the salty sea will explain density and buoyancy.

Our school, Gyanshree, implements this real-world learning. We go on school trips and do several experiments not only in science but in each subject we have a unique project to do! That one project connects the issues and helps us understand the importance of the real world. 

Once in 3rd Grade, we were learning about Mahatma Gandhi, and we went on a school trip to some sort of museum that displayed Mahatma Gandhi's life. It was fascinating; not only did I learn a little bit of the route to that place, but I learnt about history in another engaging way. So that was the fun about real-world learning. Not only do we have fun, but we know a lot more than we learn from our textbooks.
