Overview
Week Twenty Three centres on helping students recognise, express, and understand their emotions with confidence, creativity, and compassion. Through playful activities inspired by Venus's lessons, students learn that sharing feelings is an act of courage that builds stronger connections with others. Imaginative experiences like the Feelings Puppet Show give students a safe, supportive space to express emotions through characters and storytelling. At the same time, My Feelings Face provides a visual and reflective way for children to identify how they truly feel inside. These experiences strengthen emotional literacy, helping students understand that all emotions, big or small, are valid and worth expressing.
The week also emphasises calmness, gratitude, and the nurturing of emotional resilience. Soft Stretch Circle introduces mindfulness and gentle affirmations that allow students to reconnect with their bodies and speak kindly to themselves, building quiet confidence and inner balance. Meanwhile, Thank You Cards for Helpers invites students to reflect on times when they felt supported and to express heartfelt appreciation, strengthening trust and social bonds. Together, these activities foster vulnerability, empathy, and gratitude, helping students cultivate emotional courage and connection as they continue their Playful Astronaut journey.
