A School of Kindness

A School of kindness

To start 2025 the way we mean to go on, we have had a Kindness Workshop from the charity 52 Lives (www.52-lives.org) and their School of Kindness! 

We learned that kindness has three qualities:

being friendly,

being generous and

being considerate. 

It was fascinating to learn about the science of kindness and the positive impact it has on our physical and mental health.

We practised empathy by watching videos of kindness in action and then said kind things to each other in the classroom. 

To put our kindness into action, we thought of someone we knew who could do with a little kindness and made them something during our kindness workshop. These will be delivered during this week. 

Finally, we considered the quote

‘Be the change that you want to see in the world’

and agreed that we all have a part to play in creating the kind of world we want to live in. 

The School of Kindness has a Kids’ Club which is free to join. Children receive a free newsletter with kind challenges, stories, activities, jokes, competitions and videos to watch.
