Excursion to Shodex Garden
The pupils of Forte Yard Montessori School embarked on an exciting and educational excursion to the renowned Shodex Garden in Lagos. This thoughtfully planned trip provided a perfect blend of fun, exploration, and hands-on learning, aligning with our Montessori philosophy of nurturing curiosity and real-world experiences.
As the pupils explored the lush, green environment of Shodex Garden, they were introduced to a wide variety of plant species, giving them first-hand exposure to nature’s beauty and diversity. The interactive sessions with knowledgeable guides helped the children understand the importance of plants in our ecosystem, fostering a sense of environmental awareness and responsibility.
The adventure didn’t stop there! The pupils had the opportunity to observe and interact with animals, enhancing their understanding of wildlife and their habitats. Through these real-life experiences, children developed their observation skills, broadened their knowledge of biology, and learned the importance of caring for living things.
Beyond academics, this excursion also encouraged social interaction and teamwork. As they navigated the garden in small groups, the pupils strengthened their communication and collaboration skills, building lasting friendships in the process.
Excursions like this are vital for holistic development, as they bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world experiences. At Forte Yard Montessori School, we remain committed to providing opportunities that inspire curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love for learning.
