Relaxing in between
studying and working is a must for anyone, even for preschoolers. One great way
to take a break from everyday school life is a field trip. Not only we have fun
much more we discover and experience new things.
The Little Crimsons
of Little Harvard Academy did just that on their trip to Ark Avilon Zoo and
Doll Joy Factory and Museum last January 30, 2018. The exciting expedition
started with their departure from the school in the morning but the real
adventure began upon their arrival at Ark Avilon Zoo, an indoor zoo where you
can interact with lots of friendly animals. There were delighted faces all
around with the appearance of interesting and unusual animals such as the sun
bear, jackals, leopards, and lions. There were wonderful opportunities the
students simply could not pass such as taking pictures with Venus the resident
orangutan and several winged friends, or feeding donkeys, rabbits, and guinea
pigs. It also exposed them to the wonders of the animal kingdom – from the
majestic white tiger to the dazzling Burmese python. Visiting the zoo was a
great enhancement to the lessons we had in school.
After a while they had to bid farewell
to the animals and head to McDonald’s for lunch. With tummies full, everyone
was ready for another adventure at the Doll Joy Factory and Museum. The visit
to Doll Joy was a different experience altogether as the children witnessed how
dolls were made. The tour was comprised of a film viewing of the museum’s
history, a visit to its Christmas Village and several exhibits, and a couple of
games where the students had to dress up a doll as fast as they could and the
winner received a teddy bear as a prize. All the students received an adorable
doll dressed in the Little Harvard uniform as a souvenir. Everyone had a blast
creating new memories and strengthening friendships through exciting new
experiences.
