This week in Year 3, our Living and Learning focus is I can give and receive compliments. We talked about what compliments are and why they are important. We discussed how a kind word can make someone feel happy, valued and confident.
As a class activity, each child wrote a compliment to themselves: something they are good at or something they like about themselves. Then, we did a fun activity: each child picked someone else’s name out of a hat and wrote a compliment about that person.
It was lovely to see how thoughtful and kind the children were when writing compliments for each other. They clearly understood how good it feels to receive positive words and how powerful kindness can be.
Help at home: Before bed, say one thing they did well that day.
