My Best Friend
Friendship has an enormously positive effect on our well-being. Beyond the shadow of a doubt, having friends is extremely important for children. It builds self-confidence and helps children adapt quickly to the environment. Early-childhood Friendship influences positive development that offers an opportunity for children to learn and develop in a social setting and forms a pattern for creating friendships in later life.
A special bond with their peers is one of the many factors that help children feel welcome and fosters social and emotional development. Also, learning the importance of Friendship at this tender age is beneficial to build the foundation of their personality.
In the let's Start session in November, we asked the students to draw their friends and narrate their friendship stories. Topics like these encourage children to think and observe deeply. Including the arts makes other subjects more enjoyable, improving learning and increasing attendance. Through our Let's Start Art sessions, we aim to achieve this. We strive to improve children's literacy skills through visual arts and make primary education holistic, fun, and creative.
