How nice to be helpful at home, especially when parents can be very busy. It's being kind but also responsible, which is our next virtue after half-term...

I took out the bikes for my sisters and played with them.

Well done - it's good to show initiative and do kind acts like this without being asked. Try to surprise someone in your family with a 'random act of kindness'!

I have often seen people with a frown on their face so I make them feel better by telling them a joke or playing with them. I found this really nice message.

Thank you, Eliana. I agree that this is a great reminder to all of us to be magnanimous (big-hearted) towards others.

I started to help my sister having a bath. Also we gave the elderly
neighbour a box of chocolates on VE Day so that she would not feel left out because she lives alone and could not see her son in this situation. Tohma

What a kind act for your neighbour, Tohma. I'm sure she was very grateful for your effort to cheer her up.

You need to be kind to have fun like this:

I agree, Isabel - we can enjoy playing games like this much more when we remember to be kind and include everyone!

When Peter is not playing with us I try to encourage him to play too to have fun like this panda

Sometimes other children are happy to be on their own for a while and it may not be that they are feeling left out - but it's still good to encourage them to join in so that they know the invitation is there in case they change their mind. This panda has certainly accepted the invitation to have fun!

Can you try to include others?
Others have feelings, remember.
Make them happy by letting them join.
Put yourself in others shoes.
Always be kind to people you don't know.
Start by saying "Do you want to join us?"
Stop playing the game if you see someone alone.
I do my best to cheer them up.
Open the doors to others.
Never stop loving Jesus!

Love from Celesta!

Celesta, I really enjoyed reading your COMPASSION acrostic poem - so many good ideas!

people should always help each other, include others and help when sad like this.

Yes, this is a very sad-looking kitten! It can help us to think about what Our Lord would have done if he met someone who was very sad: what would He say? What would He do? Or Our Lady - what would she say or do to cheer someone up?

These two girls are making sure no-one is left out. I thought it would be nice to show you this image. Ivy

Thank you, Ivy. Yes - this is a great image for our CD target this week.

When my siblings destroy my lego I forgive them and try building it again

I understand how frustrating that can be - but well done for keeping your patience, forgiving and being prepared to move on.

brother Joseph 😇

Great, Christopher! Well done. I hope he thanked you!

Freddie was feeling sad so I thought it might cheer him up to play a football game and I ended up enjoying myself!

A lovely example of how thinking about others often brings its own reward...

when ever my brother harvey wants a train  track i build it  for him

What a nice way to show kindness to your brother - by stopping what you want to do and helping someone who needs you at that moment. There is always someone who needs us! Well done Santi.

Acts of kindness.
At bedtime Joseph gets tired so I read him a book if mum is not ready to take him to bed, so he is not sad.

Well done, Christopher - by thinking of others we learn to forget about ourselves.
Mrs C :)

When someone is sad you can be nice them and help if you can, not always by actions like make them something or if you're at home you can bake them something and give it to them the next day. Ivy

Thank you, Ivy - a lovely idea. Baking for someone can always cheer them up (well, I know it works for me!)

EMPATHY is being KIND to somebody and playing KINDLY. Isabel

Thank you, Isabel. A simple but effective idea and a lovely image!

I watched a video about empathy.  A rock hit a person's head then he got a umbrella then it hit another person's head.  The person who had an umbrella shared it with the person who had no umbrella. Tohma

Well done for finding your own empathy video, Tohma - you are right to point out that we should always be ready to help someone who needs our help.
Mrs C :)

Empathy   is    putting    yourself    in    others   shoes. Well  not  actually      squeezing   your   feet   into    your    friend's   shoes. And    it     also    means    that   you     have    to    have  seeing     eyes,  listening     ears  and  a feeling    heart. AMEN
Stay  safe, stay  home  and  stay  isolated.
Lots   of    love   CELESTA.

Thank you, Celesta! Yes, let's remember to pray for everyone we know and love to stay safe but also to grow more in empathy every day

Christopher, this is lovely - prayer is one of the best ways to show empathy! Let's all try to keep up our daily prayers for those affected by the Coronavirus in any way, especially those who have died, the sick and all who care for them...
