Our emotions are an incredibly
powerful internal force and affect everything we do and the choices we make. To
control our emotions, (not the other way around) we need to build a strong
awareness of them as well as our own reactions and only then we can develop our
resilience to whatever life throws at us. Keeping this in mind, Witty
International School, PB, Primary Section took the initiative of
organizing a workshop on ‘Emotional Wellbeing’ for the students of Grade 5 on
Saturday 8th August, 2020. Our children got an opportunity to
spend time with Ms. Arlene
Rego, a Clinical Psychologist and Arts Based Therapy Practitioner who exposed
them to different emotions that they experience in different situations. Students
were guided on how to keep their mental wellbeing strong by doing any type of
activity they like.
Students
of Grade 3 and 4 showcased their “Skills explored during Lockdown”. Students
expressed their lockdown learning to be very fruitful. Undoubtedly, staying at
home for a long duration is a challenging task for many but there is a
silver lining too.
Wittians shared how they left no stone unturned in
applying
home economics into their daily lives. From
rekindling an old hobby to picking up new skills, lockdown surely helped them
to sharpen their skills. Indeed, this was a very productive session as students were
also made to understand how empathy can be a tool
to help navigate this eerie new normal.
