Nowadays we ask children to do lots of things and this causes some kind of stress to them. Mandala is to tell children “ I am here for you right now and I want to do some nice things with you”. Mandala means center or circle. Shapes and patterns put around centre point that stands distinct. While listening to classical music, painting a mandala from inwards to outwards or the opposite makes the children peaceful and relax. Results of researches this method improves focusing, adapting and listening skills.
Educational trips exist in our school hours. These trips are organized through chosen theme and project, and done to appropriate places to improve children’s development.
