KARIMNAGAR, OCTOBER 26, 2024: Â It was a fun-filled day for the Tiny tots of Achievers Active High School, Kothi Rampur, Karimnagar town, as they visited the Railway station and a Fire Station in Karimnagar town as part of field visit of the experiential curriculum on Saturday.
The objective of the trip was to create awareness amongst students about fire emergencies and helpline services provided by our community helpers. Students boarded the school bus in the morning with wide smiles on their faces and curiosity in their eyes, eager to learn something beyond the walls of the classroom on the day.
Upon reaching the fire station, they were first greeted by a few officers who explained to the students about various types of fire extinguishers. This information proved very valuable, as it not only raised awareness but also empowered the students to share this knowledge with their families and friends. They spoke about how to avoid fires, and what to do in case of fire at home or school, in a very relevant and age-appropriate manner.
One of the highlights of the trip was the interactive demonstration organized by the firefighters. Water sprinklers and hose pipes were switched on for demonstration. This was met by squeals of laughter and discovery through fun among the young learners. They showcased how firefighters respond to emergency calls with speed and effectiveness yet no chaos. They showed students different kinds of fire equipment, fire engines, and tools used during emergencies.
The children were fascinated by the various tools and asked many intelligent questions too which left the firefighters pleasantly amused. This experience was an attempt towards making students more responsible and safety-conscious citizens.
Later, they visited the Karimnagar Railway station, where they were empowered about the importance of Railways and transportation to long distances by using train services. Principal Ch Pallavi, who accompanied the students along with other teachers, said that such field visits are conducted to directly convey the message of the curriculum to the students. Director Ch Venkateshwarlu said that the field visits help boost the creativity of students and understand the concepts better.
