Mrs Bartlett Reports On The Lower School’s Acts Of Kindness

We looked the beginning of Lent and how we can all work together to ‘give’ to our families, friends, and community.

The children made a ‘40 Acts’ poster and went home armed with 40 individual tasks that they could cut out and do each day. The children have been taking part in a range of positive acts for Lent, such as putting notes of kindness in library books, planting seeds, baking for a teacher, and giving elderly relatives a telephone call. These actions are all bedded in our school values and are helping the children to know the importance of kindness, generosity, and grace.

Here are some of their lovely comments and wonderful acts of kindness:

Barney – I have been giving a smile to everyone I see

Kwesi – I have put a positive note into somebody’s book

Esme – I helped my mum with the dishwasher at home

Seraphina – I tidied my bedroom and made my bed

Oliver – I complimented someone

Leyla – I let somebody in front of me in the line

Phoenix – I helped my brother to do his prep

Martha – I have been making sure I say thank you to my friends, teachers and house parents

Isla – I baked a treat for my friend 

Wilf – Myself and some other children in my class made some thank you cards

Let’s keep the kindness going!
