On May 30th, 2024, the The Grade 8 students stepped out of their classrooms and embarked on a exciting field trip to Gathoni Tea Farm eager to explore the wonders of Agriculture, Business and Social Studies.
It was an unforgettable experience that combined learning, excitement and community interaction.
The highlight of the trip was the hands-on learning experience. The students got to learn about making compost manure, which was a fascinating topic that taught them about the importance of sustainable farming practices. They also got to visit a tree nursery and learnt about the care and maintenance of young trees at the nursery stage.
But that’s not all! The students got to put their newfound knowledge into action by planting over 500 trees along Gachie Limuru Road. It was an incredible experience that allowed them to connect with nature and make a positive impact on the environment.
The trip didn’t stop there! The students also got to learn about tea picking and Orthodox tea processing methods, which gave them a glimpse into the world of Business and Entrepreneurship.
Throughout the day, the students were immersed in an interactive and engaging learning experience that was both fun and educational. They were able to ask questions and participate in discussions along the way.
The trip was an amazing opportunity for the Grade 8s to learn about different aspects of Agriculture, Business and Social Studies in a real-world setting. It was a fantastic way to build their confidence, develop their problem-solving skills and create lifelong memories.
And what a day it was!
