As part of their 'Goodness and Happiness' Class, the students of Class III engaged in an interesting activity, wherein they discussed and worked around the theme 'Good Manners in School'.

Gratitude is a simple expression of appreciation and acknowledgment for the things, people, and happiness we have in our lives. To inculcate the habit of being grateful, an interesting activity was planned for the students of Class IV as part of their 'Goodness and Happiness' Class. The students made 'Gratitude Flowers' in which they wrote about all the things that they are grateful for.
It was indeed a simple yet powerful exercise to remind the students that everyone has something to be grateful for in their lives. |

Forgiveness is a choice to let go of anger towards someone who hurt you and to think, feel, or act with kindness towards that person. Forgiveness is not being weak, it takes strength and courage to forgive. When we forgive, we set healing in motion.
Students of Class IV learned about this healing virtue in their 'Goodness and Happiness' class. They were asked to follow a simple rule, 'Treat others as you wish to be treated yourself.' They understood that forgiving is never easy but its benefits are enormous. The students also engaged in an activity called ‘Forgiveness Balloons’, wherein they wrote about the numerous instances where they happily forgave people. |

Courtesy is the mark of the cultured. Manners and courtesy go hand in hand and indeed complement each other. Each one of us seeks kindness and respect and just one kind word can make all the difference.
Students of Class IV discussed and made the 'Rainbow of Courtesy' in their 'Goodness and Happiness' Class. The activity aimed at enhancing their gross motor skills and cognitive skills. Students enjoyed the experience thoroughly and pledged to stay courteous and respectful to others. |

As parents and teachers, we teach students not only to read, write but also to care and be compassionate with others. For giving positive education to the students, a new subject 'Goodness and Happiness' has been introduced in the primary classes, under which Class IV followed the theme, 'Sharing is Caring', in this month.
The aim was to make students learn that TO SHARE IS TO SPREAD JOY. A healthy discussion between the teacher and the students was held where students narrated their experiences when they shared their belongings with others and felt very happy. Some students also shared the apprehensions they initially had before experiencing the joy of sharing.
Students enjoyed all the activities. Overall, the experience has been very positive and enriching for the students who learnt that SHARING IS FUN, SHARING IS CARING! |

COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdown has brought about a sense of fear and anxiety around the globe. This phenomenon has led to short term as well as long term psychological and mental health implications for children and adolescents.
Goodness and Happiness Class is an initiative taken up by SMS Janakpuri for children of Classes 1 to 5 to improve their mental well-being.
Students of Class V were introduced to the value of 'Hard Work' in life. The session had some interesting videos and presentations. A class discussion followed where students shared their own experiences. They worked together and gave interesting outputs about the benefits of hard work.
All these activities helped them understand that by sheer determination and hard work, one can do wonderful things. At the end of the session, they felt inspired and motivated, understanding that these virtues would go a long way in shaping their overall personalities. |
