CLASS : PRE-PRIMARY AND CAMBRIDGE EY2
EDUCATIONAL VISIT TO SAFAL DEPARTMENTAL STORE
Day/Date: Tuesday, 01 September 2026
The Pre-Primary students embarked on an enriching educational visit to the Safal Departmental Store on Tuesday, 01 September 2026. The visit was planned to provide the young learners with a meaningful, real-life learning experience and to help them connect classroom concepts with their everyday surroundings.
During the visit, the children explored the different sections of the departmental store and observed how everyday essentials are systematically arranged. They were introduced to various categories of products such as fruits and vegetables, dairy products, groceries, packaged food items and other household essentials. This helped them understand that different sections are created to make shopping organised and convenient.
The visit also provided an opportunity for the children to understand the concept of buying and selling. They observed how customers select products, pay for them and receive their purchases. Through this hands-on experience, the children developed a basic understanding of how a departmental store functions.
The students learnt about different occupations and the people who work in a store. They observed how teamwork and proper organisation contribute to the smooth functioning of the store.
A key learning outcome of the visit was making healthy food choices. The children were encouraged to identify fresh fruits and vegetables and understand the importance of choosing nutritious food items. They learnt that reading labels, choosing fresh produce and avoiding excessive consumption of unhealthy packaged foods are important habits for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Once the children were back to the class, they coloured and decorated a fruit basket printed worksheet with full enthusiasm. This further re-iterated the concept of choosing healthy food over junk food.
The visit was an engaging blend of observation, exploration and experiential learning.
