This week we have seen many acts of generosity including bringing in food for our local food bank, thanking their teachers, litter picking, leaving encouraging notes and talking to different people.

Through narration and drama they reminded us of the story, pausing at several points asking us questions to consider. It was very thought provoking.

Today we awarded our first lot of kindness certificates. As part of our 40 acts of generosity for Lent these children wrote super lists telling us what they were grateful for. These can be seen on an earlier blog.
