Wellness Session- IKIGAI

"Wellness - A state of being You in totality" - Richa Chaturvedi



In a world full of chaos, we sometimes tend to get confused as to what it is that we want to do or pursue in life. Our internal sabotage takes a toll on us, and we feel far away from our core and life purpose. In this regard, a session was conducted for the students of MYP 4 - DP1. The session aimed to enhance wellness and overall well-being through IKIGAI - A way to Find Life Purpose and Happiness!

During the interactive workshop, students developed an understanding of exploring life's purpose using a tool called Ikigai, improving one’s ways of thinking, and learning to create a plan of action for the bright future.

 

The whole session focused on helping students build their life upon; 5 main pillars:

  • starting with small steps → focus on the details

  • releasing yourself → accept who you are

  • harmony and sustainability → rely on others

  • the joy of little things → appreciate little things

  • being in the here and now → find your flow by being in this moment.

 

During the session, Ikigai proved to be a powerful tool that can lead to greater emotional well-being and find a purpose with which one can rejuvenate to get up every morning with positivity. The students not only enhanced their knowledge and skills through the enriching session but also connected their learnings with the Service as Action and CAS program and the same can be extended by them to the wider community.

by Rajee Venugopal Unit 1 reflection MYP 3 Global Context - Identities and relationship (Exploring - Physical, spiritual and mental health) The students were introduced to the first topic in this unit ’Food Production’ where they organised themselves into different continents and presented their progress in the field of agriculture. It was a very good activity where sharing of information took place to the maximum and ended up in a debate. The complete classroom scenario was like a seminar and the learners enjoyed this. The skills developed through this activity were research skills and communication skills. An agricultural farm visit was planned to learn about new techniques of farming. The students’ knowledge about agricultural practices was further extended to a service through farming in a small scale in the school premises. They grew Fenugreek (methi) in a sort of kitchen garden, taking care to water the plants and adding manure from time to time. ...

Interdisciplinary Learning and International Mindedness through Case Studies in Chemistry

by Jalpa Shreyas Shah A case study is a good example of problem-based learning which involves in-depth study of the problem through research and data collection. In a case study, students not only learn to identify the problem but also propose solutions and explain the social, economic, geographical implications of the study being undertaken. This can be a very good teaching pedagogy for development of criterion D in sciences which reflects on the impact of sciences with regard to a proposed problem. Our students of Grade 9 Chemistry were provided with a case study on the problem ‘Life and condition of people involved in emerald mining in India and Brazil’. The case study was based on their unit in Chemistry titled Extraction of Metals. The students were given the abstract on Gemstone industries in both countries and details of emerald mining. The case study described (a) how the farmers are forced to give away their agricultural land for the illegal mining industry wh...

MYP Student Reflections on International Dot Day

1. Eishita Dhanwani (MYP 4) Our school decided to celebrate the international dot day by organising a competition. I personally think that is a wonderful way to celebrate an important event that even I was unaware about until the competition was announced. At first, when it was announced, most of us started panicking. We all scattered around the class in order to find the required supplies. Charts, sketch pens, crayons and a ton of other items were assembled on the tables. We all decided to make groups in order to share creative ideas and come up with something really creative and time saving. Our class was in chaos. Some were seriously doing their work. Our class did come up with splendid products. It was really creative and each of them were personalised which made them very special. All in all, I loved the activity and I'm sure so did the others, with the hopes of more interesting events. 2. Anushka Agrawal (MYP 3) Today, on September 15th, our school...
