Schools conduct "Field Trip" for the purpose of firsthand observation away from the classroom by students as to a museum, a historic place, factory or environment of certain plants and animals.
Every school year, "Field Trip" is the most anticipated activity by some students because it is an opportunity for them to learn something new outside of their classroom.
It is also an occasion wherein students get to have a camaraderie and fellowship with one another.
Parents are on hand to give their moral support providing the necessary "baon." A day or night before the trip, they go to the nearest supermarket to buy what they need to bring with them. What a sight to behold when they see each other shopping inside the supermarkets buying their favorite snacks (usually junk foods!)
A lot of reminders are ringing on the ears checking their list of requirements making sure nothing is missing in the shopping bags.
Early dinner so as to sleep early... But can they truly sleep, especially the parents, when their minds are preoccupied with excitement about the trip?....
Clock is ticking, so a catnap is enough for the parents... watchful of the time for they may not be able to rise early as planned...
Instead of sleeping, parents then rise before cockcrow to cook their breakfast for fear of being late or left behind by the tour bus service.
And so very early in the morning, students wake up to their parents' sweet caress and pecking...
Though wanting to sleep some more, the sudden thought of the trip breaks out the excitement.
Moving fast they find themselves ready to go!....
Smiles beaming on the students' faces as they arrive on time for the assembly....
Departure time seems to be a lento... Others are late for some reasons beyond control... The hullaballoo is dangling the air....
Finally, the go signal is raised!... All students by their respective groups are requested to get on board their assigned bus service. Sounds of laughter fill the corridor as everyone lines up to proceed....
For sure, it's going to be an enjoyable field trip for everyone.... :)
A privilege for bonding moments as parents and guardians find time to accompany their children.
Parents who have chosen to stay behind (in order to give their children
enough space of their own) keep on waving and shouting "Take care, I
love you".
We, the parents, trust the teachers that they will be responsible to take care of our children.
Enjoy the field trip, so to our children we bid....
Hopefully, the students will gain knowledge as envisioned for them; otherwise, the school, the supermarkets, the tour agency, and the tour venues are the only ones who gain for the parents' hard-earned money and allowances their children spent for this annual compulsory activity.
Parents who set their children free for the first time during such
activity are commendable for allowing their children to develop sense of
responsibility. Except for health and other delicate reasons, it is advisable that parents let go of their children to improve their self-image and develop self-confidence.
November 24, 2012 - a date not to be forgotten as INBCS Middle and Upper School students visit Pasig Museum, GSIS Museum, Blue Wave (Mall of Asia), Villamor Museum, Nido Fortified Science Discovery Center (Mall of Asia)....
A teacher tapping the shoulder of a student gives warm assurance that everything will be alright for the whole day activity.... === >>>
Arriving safely, indeed!... But, are they happy?... Hmmn, obviously, they are too tired to be asked....
Wow! So thoughtful... pasalubong at hand.... :))
Enjoyed much, apparently on their faces....
Thank you, Lord... They're back, safe and sound!....
Home, sweet home.... :)
Gadgets galore just for this one, of course... :)
Thanks for my Canon PowerShot A530.... :))
