In our school, we are developing our skills for learning, life and work.
Of all the things you are learning, what do you think will be the most useful when you are an adult?
One of the most meaningful things you can say to someone is to offer a compliment. A compliment about something they’ve done, or created can make a person’s day. We have lots of caring young people in our class.
One of the things we have been focusing on since starting in Primary 6 has been to spot others giving genuine compliments for no other reason than to be kind.
Giving a compliment not only makes you feel good, it makes the person receiving the compliment feel great! You usually receive a smile or thanks in return or a conversation is started and the person leaves thinking you are a pretty nice person! Not bad for such a small effort.
Each time we spot someone giving a compliment, we get to add a paperclip to our compliment chain. The aim is to have it reach the floor! When it does, a class treat is coming our way!
