Farm is an area of land that is devoted primarily to agricultural processes with the primary objective of producing food and other crops. It is the basic facility in food production. The name is used for specialized units such as arable farms, vegetable farms, fruit name is used for specialized units such as arable farms, vegetable farms, fruit farm, dairy, pig and poultry farms, and land used for the production of natural fiber, biofuel and other plantations.

To learn practically about a farm, we took the students of class I to the Nayamika Farms on Monday, 11 August 2025. The area of farm land is over 1.5 acres. It is approximately 3 km away from Dream World school. 

Our students were excited to visit the ‘Nayamika Farms’, as they wanted to know about the dragon fruit plants grown in. The land is taken care by the labourer Mr. Gadhilinga and the landlord Mr. Rajesh Reddy. Mr. Gadhilingappa explained about different types of trees and plants in the farm to our students with great patience. 

From the statistical data given by him, there are about 120 dragon fruit plants in the farm including coconut trees, fan banana trees, ashoka trees, hibiscus tree, okra plant and other variety of flowering plants. 

Students were happy to know the different types of plants cultivated in the Nayamika Farm land and its facts. They understood the uses and importance of plants and trees.

We thank the landlord of the ‘Nayamika Farms’, for their co-operation in making our field trip a successful one.

To: Moka Forest, Moka, Ballari  Dt.11/08/2025                                           2025-2026

Forests are complex ecosystems dominated by trees and other woody vegetation. Forest are home to a vast array of plant and animal species. They play a crucial role in maintaining biodiversity, regulating the climate and supporting human livelihoods. Forest is vital for human well-being and require careful conservation and management. 

      On Monday, 11 August 2025, the students of Class III along with the teachers visited The Moka Forest. It is approximately 15 km away from Dream World School. The Moka Forest is spread over 1100 acres.

Our students were excited to visit the ‘Moka Forest’, as they wanted to know about the plant and animal life in forests. The forest is taken care by the government. Mr. Mallikarjun, is the incharge person of the Moka Forest. The Moka Forest has two workers Pampapathi and Gangadhara in all to look after the forest. 

As per the information given by Mr. Mallikarjun the forest which includes the trees like tamarind, neem, thorny plants and rubber trees. Students were happy to know that animals like rabbit, deer, bats and birds like peacock are found in the forest. Most of the birds and animals can be seen only in the morning and evening times in the forest. The types of soil found in Moka Forest are desert, red and black soil.  They also learnt about the parts of plants, their function, types of plants and different types of roots in the forest.

The trip was very informative, effective and at the same time exciting. We thank the management and staff of the ‘Moka Forest’, for their support and co-operation in the successful completion of the field trip. The field trip was helpful for the students to learn through observation, exploration and interaction..

To: The Landforms of Ballari   Dt. 05/08/2025                                                                                                             2025-2026

On Tuesday, 5 August 2025, the students of Class V visited the Ballari fort and the different landforms of Ballari. The fort is about 6.1 km away from Dream World School.

Ballari hill is a large granite hill located in the city of Ballari. It is one of the most famous landmarks of the region and known for its unique rocky appearance. This hill is made of hard granite rock and rises steeply above the surrounding plains. The upper fort of Ballari, gives great historical and strategic importance and it provides a panoramic view of the city.

With the objective to know the different landforms of Ballari and to know the real-life experience about the structure of Ballari hill, our students visited the Ballari Fort as a part of the educational programme.

Ballari fort was constructed by Hanumappa Nayaka during the rule of Vijayanagara Empire, in the year of 1530 CE. The hill is about 1.5 km long and 0.5 km wide. It has steepy slopes on all the sides. The fort is divided into two parts: upper fort and lower fort. The upper fort and lower fort were renovated by Hyder Ali in the year 1769 with the help of a French engineer during 18th century. The eastern side of the fort is higher and steeper. This upper fort became a strong defensive advantage in the historical times. The western side is lower and more accessible. It connects to the lower fort area and the surrounding plains, which supports the agriculture. This hill acts as a natural defensive wall by blocking the way of the enemy armies to attack and steep rocky surface slopes made it very hard for enemies to climb and invade. 

The Ballari fort is made of single massive rock and so it is called monolithic. It is the second largest monolithic hill in the world. The small valleys and depressions are situated between the two hills of the Ballari fort. The rainwater from the hill flows into the valley and other areas helping in water storage. Around this hill, the land is a part of the eastern deccan plateau, which is slightly elevated and it supports human settlements. There are 40 ponds on the Ballari hill. The Ballari hill has rocky surface which heats up during day time and cools during night times, this causes high temperature in the Ballari. Hence, the hill plays an important role as climate deciding factor for the Ballari, therefore Ballari is a semi-arid region with low vegetation which depends on the structure of the Ballari fort. There are 401 steps in the Ballari fort to reach the top of the hill. The hill not only adds beauty to the city but also plays an important role in its climate, culture and tourism.

The visit helped our students to gain the practical knowledge of the structure and real-life exposure of the Ballari hill and the landforms of Ballari. We thank the Department of Archaeological Survey of India, for their care and support in fulfilling our objective of this field trip successfully.

                                                           A Report on Field Trip # 2 (Class - 6)

To:  Sub Regional Science Centre, Ballari  Dt.  08/08/2025                          2025-2026

The visit to the Ballari Sub-Regional Science Centre was organized as part of our school’s educational activities to promote experiential learning. The trip aimed to help students understand scientific concepts in a practical way, stimulate curiosity, and make science enjoyable through hands-on experiences.

On Friday, 8 August, the students of Class VI visited the Sub Regional Science centre, near the district stadium as a part of the educational programme. It is 5.7 Km away from Dream World School.

The students were filled with excitement right from the start. Upon reaching the science centre, they were welcomed by guides who explained the layout and gave instructions about the exhibits. The children were divided into small groups for better interaction and learning.

Hence, the children explored the indoor science galleries that include the following:

1. Human Body Section - 3D models and cutaway display showed the functioning of the heart, brain, and other organs.

2. Physics Section - Interactive setups demonstrated electricity circuits, magnet experiments, and principles of simple machines.

3. Outdoor Science Park - The park had working science models like giant levers, pulleys, sound tubes, and periscopes.

The digital planetarium at the centre is one of its biggest attractions. This planetarium is more than just a theatre — it is a gateway to the cosmos. With its 7.5 meter dome, high-resolution projection, and surround-sound system, it transforms the entire ceiling into a living night sky. The interior is designed to create a dark, theatre-like atmosphere so that the audience can feel as if they are truly out in space. The immersive 360-degree visuals made them feel like they were floating in space.

The children looked up at the dome in surprise, some even lay back in their chairs before the show began. As the lights dimmed and the dome lit up with stars, there was a soft “wow” from the audience. It felt like stepping into a spaceship about to take off.

The planetarium show covered:

1. The Solar System – detailed visuals of the sun, planets, moons, and asteroids.

2. Milky Way and Beyond – A simulated journey through our galaxy

3. Constellations 

Many students said the planetarium was the “best part” of the visit. The planetarium gave children visual memory of the sky, which helps recall facts later in science lessons. It also encouraged them to think beyond earth and imagine possibilities like space travel and life on other planets.

The visit to the Ballari Sub-Regional Science Centre proved to be an enriching educational experience. It brought science to life, making it exciting and relatable. The hands-on approach, visual displays, and real-life demonstrations helped students connect classroom lessons with practical applications. Trips like this not only strengthen academic learning but also inspire young minds to explore the wonders of science.

We thank Ms. Amrutha G. Patil and her team for their support in fulfilling our objective of the field trip more productively..

To: Agricultural Farm – Ibrahimpura, Near Allum Bhavan, Ballari.  Dt.06/08/2025                                           2025-2026

On Wednesday, 6 August 2025, the students of Class VIII visited the agricultural farm along with their respective teachers. The farm is about 18 km away from Dream World School.

 Agriculture is the systematic practice of cultivating plants and livestock in order to provide facilities to the human beings. In the rise of the sedentary human lifestyle, agriculture is the key for the development. It is the basic work for the people to live in the society and a main source of livelihood. Most of the population in the rural areas is dependent on agriculture as their main source of income. With the objective to know the basic agricultural practices and to observe the process involved in the organic farming our students visited the agricultural farm as a part of an educational programme.

Mr. Ravi Kumar A. is the owner of this agricultural farm and it is spread over 28 acres of land. Out of which, 8 acres is cultivated by using organic farming method. 

Mr. Ravi Kumar guided our students throughout the field trip. He explained to our students about the steps involved in the process of agriculture. Nearly 17 types of crops such as fig, guava, sugarcane, pomegranate, maize, sandalwood, lemon, air potato etc. are cultivated in the agricultural farm. They are practicing intercropping method and drip irrigation in the field. 

The field is being powered by a biogas plant, a system that converts organic matter into renewable fuel, for energy generation. For this he uses 45 kg of fresh cow dung with 90 l of water. Gas that is produced after 15 days is used in the field every day for 3 hours. 

 The farming methods include the use of organic manure, jeevamrutha, gokrupamrutha (200 l of water, 2 kg of jaggery, 2 l buttermilk and 2 l of culture liquid) and vermi compost (cow dung+ agricultural waste + earthworms). The jeevamrutha of 200 l is prepared with the composition of 2 kg of besan flour, 10 l of cow urine, one handful of mud of that land, 10 kg of cow dung and 200 l of water. For good growth of the plants they also use fish amino acid (10 kg of fish + 10 kg of jaggery) a natural fertilizer rich in nitrogen, potassium and phosphorous. 

The agricultural products are sold in the market nearby to the taluk office in Ballari and few fruits are exported to Pune, Goa and Bengaluru. The main motto behind the organic farming is to provide chemical free products to the society.  

This visit helped our students to gain the practical knowledge of basic agricultural practices and crop patterns. We thank the owner of the agricultural farm for his support and care in fulfilling our objective of this field trip successfully.
