The Bahria Campus recently organized a fun and thoughtfully planned day trip for students from Early Years to Grade 2 to Fun Factory at Emporium Mall. The trip was designed as a balance between joy and purpose, giving children a chance to unwind, socialize, and learn through play before heading into their first term assessments.
For young learners, experiences outside the classroom play a vital role in emotional regulation, confidence building, and social development. This trip was not just about recreation, but about creating a safe and stimulating space where children could explore, interact, and express themselves freely. Fun Factory provided an age-appropriate environment with activities that encouraged movement, imagination, coordination, and teamwork, all of which are essential at this stage of development.
Students participated enthusiastically in a variety of play zones that allowed them to climb, run, role-play, and problem solve alongside their peers. Teachers and support staff accompanied the children throughout the trip, ensuring close supervision, comfort, and smooth transitions. The presence of familiar adults helped students feel secure while also giving them the confidence to try new activities independently.
The timing of the trip was intentional. Scheduled just before the assessment period, it served as a healthy mental break, helping children release built-up energy and return to school feeling refreshed and more focused. Research and classroom experience both show that children perform better academically when their emotional and physical needs are met. This outing supported exactly that by reducing anxiety, boosting mood, and reinforcing positive associations with school.
Beyond enjoyment, the trip also strengthened peer relationships. Students learned to wait their turn, share space, communicate their needs, and look out for one another in a new environment. These social skills directly translate back into the classroom, improving collaboration and classroom behavior.
At Jaada, learning is never limited to textbooks or classrooms. Experiences like this trip reflect our belief in holistic development, where emotional wellbeing, social growth, and joyful learning are just as important as academic progress. The Emporium Mall visit was a meaningful reminder that when children are given space to play, laugh, and explore, they return more confident, engaged, and ready to learn.
This outing was not just a break from routine, but a valuable part of the learning journey for our Early Years and Primary students.
