A thrilling day at Smaaash Utopia City

“Every picnic is a new adventure” 

Excursions and picnics play a vital role in a child’s education, offering a perfect blend of fun, relaxation, and learning. Such outings allow students to step out of the classroom environment, fostering teamwork, creativity, and a sense of camaraderie. They provide an opportunity for experiential learning, encouraging students to explore new experiences while promoting physical activity and overall well-being. 

Recently, Apeejay School, Kharghar, organised an exciting picnic for class V students to Smaaash Utopia City, Lower Parel. A total of 146 students participated in the outing, bringing the buses to life with songs, laughter, and enthusiasm. The day was meticulously planned to offer a break from academic routines while encouraging teamwork and active participation.

Smaaash, renowned for its vibrant mix of sports, gaming, and entertainment, offered a range of thrilling activities. Students eagerly explored: 

• Virtual Reality Games: Immersive experiences such as roller coasters and zombie battles provided endless excitement.
• Bowling Alley: The neon-lit lanes witnessed friendly matches filled with cheers and camaraderie.
• Arcade Games: From classic favourites to modern challenges, students enjoyed hours of entertainment.
• Cricket Simulator: Budding cricketers tested their skills against virtual bowlers, showcasing talent and sportsmanship.

“Excursions like these are more than just a day of fun. They are an extension of the classroom, where students learn the values of teamwork, creativity, and resilience. Watching our students laugh, collaborate, and create memories at Smaaash Utopia City was truly heartwarming. Such experiences contribute to their holistic development, and we’re delighted to have provided them with this opportunity,” Ms Nisha Upadhyay, Primary In-charge of the school, shared.

After an action-packed morning, students relished a delightful lunch at the food court within Utopia Mall. Teachers and students bonded over shared laughter and moments of friendly competition.

The highlight of the day was the camaraderie that flourished during group activities, as students demonstrated teamwork, creativity, and sportsmanship. The staff and teachers ensured the safety and well-being of every child, adding to the day’s success.

This memorable outing not only recharged the students but also strengthened their bonds with peers and teachers, making it a perfect blend of fun, learning, and cherished memories.
