Kindness is one of the schools’ Core Values and we feel it is the most important. It is always on the agenda but it is good to make it a focus and spend time discussing with the children different ways of being kind and how it makes us and others feel.

The children listened to stories, watched clips and had discussions about kindness. We also had little role play scenarios to act out and discuss.

Any children who were noticeably kind could choose a smiley face and add it to the Kindness Trail which is making its way around the school corridors.

Lots of parents have emailed in Acts of Kindness that they have seen the children doing at home. They loved hearing the different ways their peers have been kind and it has really spurred them on with their efforts.

All adults in the school are noticing their kindness and commenting on this with them. The cooks are well impressed with the good manners at lunchtime with lots of pleases and thankyous.
