Learning Agriculture Beyond the Classroom
As part of their Social Science – Geography curriculum, the students of Shaanthi School ICSE, Periyakottai (S6 A & B) visited an Intensive and Mixed Farming Field on 4 November 2026, in connection with the lesson Agriculture.
The students observed intensive cultivation of brinjal and ladies’ finger, along with mixed farming practices involving corn and coconut. Interacting with the farmer gave them practical insights into cultivation methods, irrigation, field management and the effective utilisation of agricultural land.
At Shaanthi, we believe that learning becomes meaningful when textbook concepts meet real-world experiences. Such curriculum-integrated visits nurture curiosity, sharpen observation, encourage analytical thinking and develop an appreciation of farmers and their contribution to society.
By taking Geography beyond the classroom, we aim to shape environmentally conscious, knowledgeable and resourceful Shaanthians who can connect what they learn with the world around them.
