Let's learn to embroider!
Embroidery has multiple benefits for those who practice it: It develops creativity, fine motor skills, concentration, organization, perseverance to finish the work, and provides tranquility.
We will embroider cross-stitch designs, small works of art, and once finished, they can be transformed into cushions, cases, wallets, murals/paintings, carpets, and more."

Korean martial art by which people train both physically and mentally. Lessons take place in an atmosphere of discipline and respect. At this age, pupils still need to improve their coordination, and they begin to work with memorisation which they master through combined movements. There is greater emphasis on moral values, learned by means of examples and games specifically oriented towards these goals. Pupils are better prepared to acquire physical techniques and they are able to understand the values of Taekwondo, which are explained to them verbally. They are then capable of carrying out missions such as showing at home and at school positive attitudes that are later discussed in class. These lessons of respect and discipline motivate them to perform these gestures as a natural form of behaviour.
