Welcome to Kindness Week in The Children’s House!! We will be talking about the importance of kindness – such an important trait to encourage in people at all times! – & the importance of being kind & sharing with others, especially those who are less fortunate than ourselves. The children will be asked what being kind looks like & what it means to them, & among other activities they will be making decorations to give to someone that they care about, & playing the kindness game – giving a compliment to the person sitting beside them!

We will be asking each child to bring in €1 to school, as every year we talk about how much we have to be thankful for and then give a gift to charity, and this year we will again be making a donation to Barnardos Children’s Charity to support vulnerable children in Ireland this Christmas – thank you so much!

The Manners Song (tune: Twinkle twinkle)

We say thank you, we say please,
We don’t interrupt or tease.
We don’t argue, we don’t fuss,
We listen when our friends talk to us.
We share our toys & take our turn,
Manners are so good to learn!
