Random Acts of Kindness - Thursday

After several days of wet grounds and closed fields at school we decided a fun lunch time activity was in order. Room 1 invited the rest of the school to watch some funny Pixar animation films in the hall. Fun had by all. 

Tomorrow we have a full on day away from school (NZCSO & cross country practice) so we are planning on spreading our kindness by making an extra special effort to be kind and friendly to our bus driver and any officials at CSB we may meet.

Random Act of Kindness - Wednesday

This afternoon everyone in Room 1 snuck out around the school and left kind messages for parents and learners to see as they were heading home for the day.  A simple gesture that hopefully put a smile on some faces.

Random Acts of Kindness

Kindness is a great quality to own and some people naturally express good will to others.  Some of us are busy with our own lives and kindness never seems to be a top priority.  it's not that we are mean, rather our bussyness takes over and we don't consciously think about showing kindness to other people.  Today we discussed how random acts of kindness are kind actions or words towards others.  They are actions that we don't expect anything in return from.  We do them just to be kind.

What are the benefits?  Well today we performed our first class random act of kindness.  We made kind cards to brighten up each classes day when it was cold and rainy.  Everyone was super excited and came back gleaming at the kindness they had spread.  Both those doing the acts and those receiving them seemed to benefit as equally.

Over the next week (until the end of term) we will be preforming more random acts of kindness both as a class and individually.  Keep an eye out.

Please let us know your thoughts by commenting below.  Room 1 you could comment with how you showed someone kindness today and how it made you feel.

Congratulations Anna

Recently we held a stamp design competition for the Wairere Team (Year 5/6).  The brief was to design a new school stamp that would be produced and used when sending school mail.

Anna won this competition with her simple yet effective design.  Well done Anna!  Today Miss Olliff posted a letter to her mum using one of Anna's stamps.
