Kindness Week

14th Nov 2025

This week, our school celebrated Kindness Week, which also aligned with Anti-Bullying Week. While there were many important conversations around anti-bullying, our main focus was spreading kindness and positivity across our school community.

 

Each day featured a theme and activity designed to encourage kindness toward ourselves, others, and our environment.

 

💛 

Monday – Kindness to Ourselves

 

Pupils took part in activities focused on self-kindness and positive thinking using a Be Kind to Yourself mat.

 

💙 

Tuesday – Kindness to Friends

 

Children shared thoughtful words with one another by completing a Compliment Cup, recording compliments received from classmates throughout the day.

 

💚 

Wednesday – Kindness to Our Environment

 

Pupils decorated Kindness Rocks with positive messages. These were placed in the courtyard as a lasting reminder to spread kindness.

Thursday – Kindness in Our School Community

 

Everyone contributed to a whole-school Kindness Tree by writing a kind word or action on a heart and adding it to the display.

 

💜 

Friday – Kindness in Our Classrooms

 

We ended the week with a celebration to thank pupils for their kindness and positive attitudes.

 

It was a wonderful week filled with positivity, encouragement, and meaningful acts of kindness—both big and small. 💖
