Learning outside the classroom can be fun and useful. Here are some activities that help you learn:
Join clubs
School clubs are great places to learn new things. If you like science, join the science club. You can do experiments and learn how things work. The art club helps you improve your drawing skills, and the music club teaches you how to play instruments.
Volunteer
Volunteering is a good way to learn and help others. When you volunteer at an old people's home, you learn about kindness and communication. Helping clean up the park teaches you to love nature.
Read books
Reading books opens a door to different worlds. You can learn about history, science, and other cultures. You can read storybooks, science magazines, or even comic books. Each book brings you something new.
So, go out and try these activities. You'll find learning is everywhere!

Albert Einstein, a famous scientist, had a tough start at school. His teachers thought he was a poor learner because he disliked memorizing facts and asked too many "strange" questions. At 6, he began learning the violin. Though he wasn't good at it at first, playing music helped him think differently—he saw patterns in both notes and numbers.
At 10, Einstein started reading science books on his own. He loved asking "why" about everything, like why the sky is blue or how light travels. Unlike many students, he didn't just accept what teachers said. Instead, he tried to figure things out by imagining stories or drawing diagrams. For example, he once imagined riding on a beam of light, which later inspired his theory of relativity.
Einstein's teachers often criticized him for not following rules, but he never stopped exploring. He failed the entrance exam to a top school at 16 but later got in by studying maths and physics on his own. As an adult, he worked as a clerk while writing down his ideas. His hard work paid off—his theories changed science forever.
Einstein's story shows that everyone learns differently. Following your curiosity and thinking creatively can lead to great achievements, even if you struggle at first.
