World Kindness Day - Saturday 13th November 2021

World Kindness Day is a holiday that promotes the importance of being kind to each other, to yourself, and to the world. The purpose of this day is to help everyone understand that kindness is what binds us all together. As part of our Amber Flag the students in Greaghrahan National School celebrated this day by taking part in a range of activities that promote kindness.

Junior Room

The Junior Room listened to the story How Full is Your Bucket? The book teaches children about kindness and is based on the premise that everyone has an invisible bucket. When our bucket is full, we feel happy and proud of ourselves but when our bucket is empty, we feel lonely and sad. In the story, we followed a boy called Felix as he went about his day and we watched his bucket emptying and filling depending on how he was treated by others. We used some of the ideas in the story to complete our Kindness Flowers. We are going to become bucket fillers in our class.

Senior Room

The pupils in the Senior Room took part in a mystery 'Give a compliment challenge.' The aim of the challenge was to pick the name of a student out of a hat and give a compliment or two to their nominated person throughout the day. The children had great fun trying to guess who had picked them and it was lovely to hear all the wonderful compliments the children had been giving each other.The students complemented their Art work with the motto 'Be the I in KIND'
