Visit To Post Office
Postal services were and are a service that is getting lost in the fast paced world of digital age. Although its relevance has not been lost but for sure the frequency of usage has diminished. And for the children their rendezvous with this service is needed, to keep it alive and active. Moreover the little children learn and pick up things by seeing rather than telling. With this motive in mind we in the Pre-Primary Section of City Montessori School Gomti Nagar Campus I planned a visit to the Post Office for our Class Montessori students on October 31, 2019.
The children accompanied with their class teacher and co-teacher had a fun bus ride to a nearby post office. They were shown the post office premises and how various important desks were placed to ensure fast and accurate working. They were also shown the post boxes which created an immediate connection to the toddler’s minds, as they found it interesting how this box carries mails. They posted the postcards which they had written for their parents with a message. Postmen were also introduced to the children as delivery agents of all letters and mails.
On their way to the post office they were also made to identify the name of the things they saw on the road. As always the children learnt an important thing in a fun way, which is what the Pre Primary years, is all about.
