Sharing The Planet and Expressing Ourselves

 

Friends bring more happiness into our lives

Learner profiles expressed in this photo by these two students are caring,

principled and reflective.

 

In an activity where students had to express themselves they showed what sensations, emotions and thoughts they were having. Not all students wanted to share their work as it was a private piece of self- expressing. Drawing and freely expressing ourselves relieves stress and anxiety.
