“Little Village Explorers” is an immersive cultural experience where Grade 2 learners step into a traditional village setting to discover how people lived, worked, played, and celebrated in earlier times. At Rangoli Gardens, children explore life-size village sculptures, observe tools and homes, engage with shadows and sculptures, and create simple clay artefacts inspired by village life. Through guided walks, creative challenges, role-play, and reflection, learners develop curiosity, historical awareness, and respect for community traditions, understanding how everyday village life tells powerful stories.
Children strengthen Thinking, Research, Communication, Social, Self-Management, and Creative Thinking skills as they observe village scenes, compare past and present life, participate in creative expression, collaborate in group tasks, and reflect on cultural practices.
Children explore traditional village life, observe how people worked and played, understand community routines and celebrations, practise inquiry through observation, and express ideas through drawing, movement, and discussion.
Children describe aspects of village life, identify tools and activities used in the past, participate respectfully in group exploration, express understanding through art and role-play, and reflect on similarities and differences between village and modern life.
