 Miss Johnstone and Mrs Robertson’s February 2022 homework Challenge

‘We value a North Ayrshire which has kindness and community spirit at its heart, where we look out for our neighbours and vulnerable members of our community and we take pride in our towns and villages.’ (North Ayrshire Council, 2019)

Your Challenge:  Through February, share with us a photograph of yourself/family showing acts of Kindness (after school/weekend) – for example helping with chores at home, holding the door open for someone, make a birdfeeder, helping a family member, taking care of our environment etc.

Tweet your photo tagging @WhitehirstPs or send it to Miss Johnstone (who will tweet it directly) gw09johnstonelouise@glow.sch.uk

We look forward to seeing all your February ‘kindness’ photographs.
