What I love about My School
Children are innately curious beings. They tend to ask a lot of questions! But as adults, we lose sight of this innate curiosity as we get swamped with our work and responsibilities.
Schools create a safe space and creative environment for children where they develop social and emotional skills and learn to observe, evaluate and adapt. When we ask children about their day at school, they have a lot of stories to tell. These questions encourage them to open up and share their experiences.

The topic of the art session conducted in October was "What I love about My School", we asked students what they love about their school and share their stories and experiences through art. Questions like these encourage children to think deeply about their experiences instead of simply answering yes or no.

The arts help to strengthen social skills and give students the experience of working as a team. They learn to appreciate and accept the expression of others. Art provide learning experiences that engage children's minds, hearts and bodies. Our Let's Start Art sessions aim to help these students have a better chance at education.
