A day without a blackboard or homework, the children of Duc Tri School temporarily leave the four walls of their classrooms to come to green nature, breathe in the scent of the fields and wind, jump around in the garden full of flowers and grass, harvest vegetables by themselves, and immerse themselves in the cool water of the ecological swimming pool at Totto Chan garden.
Get muddy to love the little things more
Unlike every other day, from early morning, the young farmers enthusiastically went out to the garden together to plant and harvest vegetables, feed chickens and rabbits, and learn how to take care of animals at the Totto-chan educational experience area.
– “How did the vegetables grow, how did this fish grow? And how long did it take for the egg to hatch into a chick…? All are strange questions in the eyes of children.
In the summer sun, the sound of calling each other and the sound of laughter resounded when a child caught the first fish. Perhaps in that moment, no child could remember the initial shyness, unfamiliarity or fear of getting dirty anymore.
Not only that, you can also immerse yourself in the excitement of modern sports such as chess, basketball, swimming, pickleball...
Together, they exercise, train their endurance, reflexes, learn to bond, support each other through each game, and then after hours of tiring play, the children gather around the rustic kitchen with the rich flavor of the Central region, eating and chattering, telling stories, and teasing each other. It seems that each child finds joy in their own way, some quietly observe a small animal on the farm, some are excited with their teammates on the pickleball court, let themselves go swimming in the cool lake, some transform into the cool captain of the teambuilding team to lead their class to the finish line...
Lessons from simple things
A day at Totto-chan's "Happy Farm" is not a "class", but each child has valuable lessons.
In the future, you may not remember what vegetables you harvested, how many laps you swam, or what games you won. But somewhere in your gentle memories, there will still be the cool feeling when your bare feet touch the grass, your hands are covered in mud, and your eyes light up when you see the little joys with your friends. Because childhood does not need anything too big, just being able to run freely in nature without worry, being listened to, being embraced by the gentleness of adults, those "seedlings" can grow up strongly under the sunlight.
Let's follow the wonderful journey through each film, each little story of your child - because this summer, your child is writing beautiful, memorable pages of childhood memories!
