On Sunday, May 26, our enthusiastic upper elementary students had the unique opportunity to visit the Royal Commission building, a trip that beautifully complemented their ongoing social studies unit on perspective. This field trip offered a hands-on learning experience that brought their classroom inquiry to life.
The visit began with an exploration of Jubail's historical development. Students delved into the city's rich past, examining how it has evolved over the years. This directly connected to their studies in class, where they have been learning about the concept of perspective—understanding how different viewpoints and time periods can shape our knowledge and interpretation of history. The exhibits provided a tangible timeline, allowing students to see firsthand the transformation of Jubail from a small town to a bustling industrial city.
One of the highlights of the trip was a detailed presentation on the future development plans for Jubail. Students were thrilled to hear about the innovative projects and sustainable initiatives that are set to shape their city's future.
Additionally, the students engaged with interactive exhibits that demonstrated the various uses of oil in our everyday lives. They learned about the journey of oil from extraction to its numerous applications, which reinforced their classroom lessons on natural resources and their significance.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Royal Commission family for opening their doors to our learners and providing such an enriching experience. This field trip not only enhanced the students' understanding of their social studies topics but also inspired them to think critically about the world around them and their place in it.
Thanks to Ms. Logsdon, Ms. Nichol, Ms. Lyn and Mrs. Akash for organizing and supervising the trip with our students.
