Learning about animals does not have to take place only through books or pictures. Preschool students at Saint Monica Jakarta School Sunter had the opportunity to observe various bird species firsthand during an educational field trip to Aviary Park Indonesia.

Accompanied by their teachers, the children traveled together to the destination. Upon arriving at Aviary Park, they explored the educational attraction to learn about different bird species and their natural habitats.

One of the highlights of the visit was a bird show. The children watched as the birds moved and flew right in front of them. They also had the opportunity to observe various bird species, including turkeys and hornbills, each with its own distinctive physical features and characteristics.

Through direct observation, the children expanded their knowledge while developing their curiosity about the animal world. They learned to recognize differences in the birds’ colors, sizes, and shapes through hands-on experiences that made learning more engaging and easier to understand.

The field trip also gave students the opportunity to learn in an environment different from their usual classroom setting. Throughout the visit, they practiced following their teachers’ instructions, walking together as a group, and staying close to their classmates.

Beyond gaining new knowledge, the experience helped introduce the importance of caring for animals and protecting nature from an early age. The children were encouraged to understand that every animal has its own unique characteristics and deserves to be protected.

For Saint Monica Jakarta School Sunter, outdoor learning activities are one way to provide students with meaningful educational experiences. Through direct interaction with their surroundings, children have opportunities to develop confidence, independence, and social skills.

The visit to Aviary Park Indonesia was an enjoyable and memorable experience for the students. Not only did they return with stories and happy memories shared with their friends, but they also gained new knowledge about bird diversity and the importance of appreciating and protecting the natural world around them.
