Reading, Reflecting, Relating: A Journey Through Learning
Transforming these learnings into flip charts helped us move from simply reading to deeper reflection and meaningful conversations. The serene environment of Fig Tree Cottage, collaborative sessions at the Joy of Learning Studio, exploring the local market, and visiting The English Book Depot added new dimensions to our understanding that learning exists not only in books but also in people, places, and experiences around us.
The Retreat beautifully brought alive the spirit of the 3 Rs: Reading, Reflection, and Relationship, reminding us that education is not just about acquiring knowledge, but about building character, perspective, and meaningful connections with the world around us.

My reflection of this Retreat
This Retreat taught me that learning is most meaningful when it goes beyond books and enters our thoughts and actions. Through reading Is Your Child Ready to Face the World?, creating flip charts, exploring new places, and discovering books at The English Book Depot, I realised that every experience offers an opportunity to learn. The Retreat inspired me to become more reflective, curious, and mindful about the values that truly matter in life.

The Learning Forward Retreat was a refreshing reminder that meaningful learning happens when we connect books with experiences and reflections. Reading Is Your Child Ready to Face the World? by Dr. Anupam Sibal encouraged us to think beyond academics and reflect on values such as humility, courage, gratitude, determination, honesty, and forgiveness that truly prepare individuals for life.
