Today we have been talking about our value this month of 'caring' and considering how our own actions affect other people. We met a dragon called Zag who was feeling sad because some people had hurt his feelings. Even though they had said sorry to him, he still felt hurt and sad inside.
To help us understand this we were each given a piece of paper. We had one minute to scrunch it up, scribble on it with a crayon, shout at it and call it silly names or say unkind things to it, like "I don't want to play with you." Then we unfolded it and told it we were sorry. Even though we'd said sorry, the paper was still crumpled and the crayon hadn't disappeared. This is like when someone is hurt; just saying sorry doesn't make it all better.
We talked about some other things we could do to make people feel better, and came up with some lovely suggestions like "you could say 'I won't do that again,'" (Paul), "love them," (Olivier) and "be really kind to them." (Reece).
We made a kindness circle and all said something really kind about the person next to us. This made them feel good! We decided to be kindness detectives during the day, looking out for people being kind.
By the end of the morning, everyone in the class had been mentioned as being kind to somebody else. Well done to everyone in Nursery and Reception for being so kind and caring, and to everyone who spotted all the kindness and shared it with the rest of the class.
