"A DAY OF WONDER: EXPLORING KUTHIRAMALIKA AND VELI BEACH PARK"

-
"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page." - Saint Augustine

As part of our B.Ed curriculum, our college, KUCTE Thevally, organized an art visit to Kuthiramalika and Kovalam Beach on 28th November 2024. Our one-day trip was an enriching experience that allowed us to explore the rich cultural heritage and natural beauty of Thiruvananthapuram.


We departed from our college at 7:00 am, eager to start our journey. The excitement was palpable, and we made the most of our bus ride by dancing and singing together, making the journey even more enjoyable.

Our first stop was Kuthiramalika Palace and art gallery, chithralayam museum a magnificent example of traditional Kerala architecture. As we walked through the palace, we were struck by the intricate carvings, beautiful murals, and stunning woodwork. The palace was a treasure trove of art and history, and we spent hours exploring its every nook and cranny.

After lunch, we headed to Veli Beach Park, one of the most popular tourist spot in Kerala. Unfortunately, the beach area was temporarily closed, but we still managed to spend some quality time in the park, taking in the scenic views and enjoying the cool breeze.

As we returned to our college at 6:30 pm, we were all filled with a sense of wonder and awe. Our art visit had been a resounding success, and we had gained valuable insights into the art, culture, and natural beauty of Kerala.

This trip was not just a fun outing; it was also an educational experience that helped us appreciate the importance of art and culture in our lives. As future teachers, we recognize the value of such experiences in shaping our students' perspectives and broadening their horizons.

"Teaching is the greatest act of optimism." - Colin Powell I started my 40-day B.Ed teaching practice internship at Government Model Girls High School, Kollam, in Thevally. This first week was a blend of learning, challenges, and excitement as I navigated through teaching practices, interactions with students, and adapting to the school environment. Day 1 - 14/07/25 - Monday It was a mix of excitement and nerves as I took a 5E model class on "Atoms" for 8B students in Chemistry. I used simple analogies and experiments to convey the concept, and the pupils were highly interactive as I encouraged their participation. I felt a sense of accomplishment completing the lesson plan despite struggling a bit with using the whiteboard (not being used to it before). A bit disappointed I couldn't ask review questions at the end due to poor time management, but I did ask continuous questions throughout to reinforce the concept. We also participated in ...

“Examinations not only test knowledge, but also patience, responsibility, and teamwork.” The sixth week of my teaching practice, from 18th August to 22nd August 2025, marked a change of pace as the Onam examinations began at school. The vibrant classroom atmosphere was replaced by a quieter, more focused environment. Instead of regular teaching, our responsibilities shifted to assisting with examination duties, distributing question papers, and ensuring smooth conduct of exams. This week gave me a new perspective on the administrative and organizational side of school life, beyond teaching and learning . Day 25 - 18/08/2025 - Monday The first day of Onam examinations began with much anticipation. I was assigned examination duty in Room 8A.

The atmosphere was calm but slightly tense as students appeared serious and focused. I carefully observed how...

“Teaching is the one profession that creates all other professions.” – Unknown. Week 9 of my teaching practice was a vibrant mix of classroom learning, innovative teaching strategies, school events, and hands-on experiences.
