FIELD TRIP

-


On the 24th of October, the 2024-26 batch of Fathima Memorial Training College, Mylapore, embarked on an exciting field trip to the scenic hill station of Vagamon. Organized by our college, this trip was filled with adventure, bonding, and the beauty of nature. Our group set out early in the morning, filled with anticipation and excitement for the journey ahead.


Vagamon welcomed us with its cool breeze, misty hills, and lush green landscapes. We started our exploration at Pine Valley, a serene and enchanting forest of towering pine trees. Walking through the thick pine forest felt like stepping into a magical world. The peaceful surroundings and the fresh pine-scented air gave us a break from the bustle of daily life and allowed us to appreciate nature’s quiet beauty.


Our next stop was the famous Thangalpara, a massive rock formation with deep cultural significance. Climbing up to this site was exhilarating, and the view from the top was worth every effort. The rolling hills and green valleys stretching out below gave us a breathtaking panoramic view of Vagamon. This spot allowed us to pause, take photos, and enjoy the feeling of being on top of the world.


We then headed to Paithalum Para, where the landscape seemed to transform into a sea of rolling meadows. Surrounded by greenery, we enjoyed moments of laughter, group photos, and a little rest after our adventurous morning. It was the perfect place to unwind, with the cool breeze and scenic beauty all around us.


This field trip to Vagamon was more than just an excursion; it was an experience of bonding, relaxation, and immersion in nature's beauty. Our group returned with memories that we’ll cherish forever, grateful for the opportunity to explore the wonders of Vagamon with friends and teachers.

Date: July 14 – July 17, 2025 “Teaching is the one profession that creates all other professions.” The first week of my teaching practice was a journey of discovery, challenges, and small victories. As part of the B.Ed. curriculum, I, along with my friends Aleena and Aiswarya from the English Department of Fathima Memorial Training College, Mylapore, began our internship at Government HSS Anchalummood on July 14, 2025. The atmosphere of the school was very welcoming, and the staff were supportive. This week, we actively participated in various duties including substitution classes, classroom management, lunch serving, and even took on the role of judges for an extempore competition. One of the highlights of my teaching this week was taking Class 8F for the poem “The Seven Ages of Man” by William Shakespeare. While handling the class came with its fair share of challenges, especially in managing discipline, it was a great learning curve. A memorable moment was when we worked together to...

WEEKLY REFLECTION SIXTH WEEK (FIRST PHASE)

The past week of my teaching practice (Days 21–25) was both engaging and rewarding. On Day 21, after the Onam vacation, I taught Articles through the Concept Attainment Model, where students actively discovered rules through examples and non-examples. The following days (22–25) were dedicated to the inspiring chapter The Day My World Changed by Malala Yousafzai, taught using ICT. Each day, I carried the chapter forward step by step, making use of PowerPoint slides, visuals, and activity cards to bring Malala’s story to life. Students were highly motivated, sharing their thoughts on education and courage, which made the lessons more meaningful. I also had varied experiences beyond the classroom, like serving the midday meal, handling substitution hours, and managing double-period sessions. These days taught me the importance of pacing, balancing ICT with interaction, and sustaining student interest. Overall, this phase deepened my confidence as a teacher-in-training.
