We read the story 'Have you filled a bucket today' which focuses on kindness and how we can show it. The can do crew held a great discussion about what kindness is and how they show it. We also talked about being a bucket dipper which is the opposite of being a bucket filler.

Fareedah " being kind makes people happy"

Alex " I'm kind to my mummy and help with my sister.

Denaio " I'm kind to my friends"

Amed " I'm kind when I ask people if they want to play"

Eden " I'm kind when I hold open the doors"

Ranveer " I show kindness by helping my friends"

A little bit of kindness goes a long way.

This week we joined up with Mrs Kane's Cynefin to talk all things safety when it comes to using devices . Some of the key points we discussed were: what are devices and what we use them for, What does being online mean, don't use devices without your adults permission, if you see something on the screen that frightenens and upsets you then turn it off and tell a trusted adult, never talk to strangers and never share your name, address or pictures online. Using devices are a great learning tool and can be lots of fun but you must keep yourself safe.

Today we came up with a list of things we can do in our class to show kindness to one another. We put these different acts into a kindness chart. Each time a child does one of these acts a sticker will be added. At the end of the term we will reflect back on this and if the pupils have managed to get 10 starts for each act we will celebrate with a party.

Today the 🌟can do crew 🌟 ventured out into the garden to look for signs and sounds of spring. We discovered new growth, buds and plants starting to bloom. If we listened really carefully over the construction noises, we could hear birds singing and the trees swaying in the wind. We used our imaginations and thought if we could only hear spring sounds what would we hear? bulbs pushing through the earth, grass shooting up, different kinds of birds chirping and slugs and snails munching the spring vegetables. We planted some bulbs (pink gladioli and mini daffodils) we're excited to see them grow! I asked the children how they felt being outside and the reply " I feel alive - Ali" "I feel calm - fareedah" "I feel free- Amed" Eden" I feel happy" Edward "I feel great" Alex "I feel happy" Ranveer" I love it outside"

Talkative Tuesday was a focus on all things kindness! We shared the beautiful book ' I'm almost - always kind' together. It particularly emphasied 'putting yourself in someone else's shoes' We discussed how they did that in the story and if they could think of a time when they used that skill. We started making posters about how we can look after our friends if they are sad- the children came up with some amazing suggestions. On flexible Friday we finished them off, don't they look lovely? ❤️

Santa emotion showdown. We drew the expression to match our feelings then guessed each others emotions - we talked about why we felt like that and offered suggestions to help.

Eden "I'm sad because I feel tired"

Fareedah " Maybe you can have a nice bath and go to bed early tonight"

Alex "I'm sad because I miss mummy"

Amed" it's okay try to have fun and mum will pick you up later".

We used the 'Think-Pair-Share' strategy to discuss what Christmas means to me. We had lots of amazing answers! We extended our thoughts to ' does Christmas mean the same to everyone'

Throughout Cynefin we have shown excellent empathy, active listening and oracy skills.
