Days to create memories✨

-

 Field trips are essential for bridging theoretical knowledge with practical application, offering students a unique platform to explore real-world scenarios and foster a holistic approach to education. Recognizing this importance,  PTM College of Education Maruthoorkonam embarked on a 10- day journey from November 4th to November 13th, 2023, blending academic learning with hands-on experiences.


     Commencing in Delhi, renowned for its rich history and architectural marvels, the group immersed themselves in cultural treasures. The itinerary then led to the serene town of kulu, nestled in Himalayas, providing a contrasting backdrop to Delhi's bustling city life. Continuing to the enchanting hill station of Manali, students experienced snow-capped peaks and adventure activities, fostering a deep appreciation for diverse landscapes.


      On 4/11/2023, we commenced our journey at 11:30 am as we boarded a train from Trivandrum Central to Madurai. The scenic train ride brought us to Madurai by 5 pm, where we took the opportunity to explore the enchanting Madurai Meenakshi Amman Temple in the evening, delving into the city's rich cultural heritage.


      In the early morning 1 am on November 5 th, we departed from Madurai to Delhi by train, embarking on an overnight journey. By 6:30 pm on November 6 th, we arrived at Delhi Nizamuddin Railway Station. Fron there, we headed straight to Agra, where we stayed overnight at a hotel.


     On November 7th, we explored the iconic Taj Mahal soaking in the historical grandeur. Unfortunately, we couldn't visit Agra Fort due to time constraints. Later in the day, we made our way back to Delhi, visiting the Akshardham Temple enroute before heading towards the mesmerizing landscape's of Manali.



      Upon reaching Manali on November 8 th, we freshened up at the hotel and opted for exhilarating adventure - river rafting- instead of the initially planned local sight seeing. The day concluded with a return to the hotel for a well- deserved rest.


     Early on November 9 th, we embarked on an adventure- packed day. Our itinerary included visits to Rohtang Pass, Hidimba Temple, Vasishta Temple, and the newly added Atal Tunnel, providing us with a comprehensive experience of the stunning Himalayan landscapes. Later in the day, we began our journey back to Delhi, concluding our time in the enchanting landscapes of Manali.


      Returning to Delhi on November 10 th, we kicked off the day with a visit to Qutub Minar, Lotus Temple abd the unmissable Red Fort. But unfortunately, due to tine constraints, we couldn't explore the Parliament Building. The day concluded with some leisurely shopping in the bustling streets of Karol Bagh, allowing us to take home memories and souvenirs.   


     Our return journey began early on November 11 th at 5:30 am, bidding farewell to the bustling capital and heading back to Kerala, cherishing the memories of our enchanting tour.


      The final leg of our journey brought us back to South India. On November 13 th, we arrived in Nagercoil at 3:30 am, followed by a 4:30 am departure and a 6 am arrival at Trivandrum Central, marking the end of our unforgettable Delhi- Manali tour.

E - Content on Appreciation of the poem "Sunrise On The Hills" by H. W. Longfellow

 Sunrise on the Hills' is a beautifully expressive poem written by the well-known American poet, translator and professor at Harvard University. The poem extols the splendors of a sunrise in the midst of hills. The poet employs a playful tone to depict the sunrise and its impact on the surrounding nature, all witnessed from a hilltop vantage point. The initial beams of sunlight gracefully penetrate the expansive sky, casting a radiant glow on the awakening woods, while gentle winds softly sway. The clouds, bathed in sunlight, gradually disperse like defeated soldiers, unveiling the towering peaks resembling thrusting lances. This reveals the splendid beauty of the valley, where dense woods conceal a meandering river, accompanied by the delightful sounds of nature harmonizing with distant village noises. The poet particularly notes the presence of birds like the bittern and wild horn, contributing to the symphony of the morning. These picturesque scenes are presented as a therapeuti...

       The next two weeks of my teaching practice started from 3-7-2024 to 15/7/2024.  These two weeks also went on well by giving me new experiences and new lessons. I was able to complete my portions accurately for these two weeks also. Students were crazy in making fun of each other. They learnt well by making mistakes and ensured that students should learn things from their mistakes and then only they will remember it forever in their lives. Unit test was conducted for the students this week and I was instructed to monitor them while writing exams. And I was very happy to do so and I felt myself as a teacher not as a teacher trainee. While I was conducting exams for them, they tried to copy answers from others but I advised them not to copy and instead try to write answers by their own.             This week I was able to complete writing my lesson plans in records and making teaching aids. I felt that ICT classrooms are be...
