Acts of Kindness – using our Strengths and Talents to make us better Citizens
A couple of weeks ago our Positive ED teacher gave us a task to do: ‘Random Acts of Kindness’ using the talents and strengths we have: some people have space and vision talents; some have maths and logic; others have word; were a naturalist; or have people or body strengths.
Some of the actions we did were:
writing a story to give to neighbours to read, cleaning up neighbours’ yards, helping to clean the pigeon’s cage,
selling lemonade and lollies to raise money for St Vinneys, washing cars, giving skills clinics, helping Mrs Kaye,
making up a play and entertaining neighbours, singing and dancing for kids at school, teaching maths to other students, doing surveys visiting a nursing home, making an environmental magazine, a bird feeder, walking dogs, making and giving
away handmade pictures and book marks, cleaning parks and school yards, anti-bullying presentations, designing new playground areas, helping teachers, personal questionnaires, maths lessons
Some comments:
Chloe-Our action was to give away art pieces to make people happy. I felt happy to see the smiles on peoples faces when the received the art and it was really fun making the art.
AMBER – My action was to write a story to then share with my neighbours to encourage reading so that everyone loves it. I got feedback both positive and constructive to help my writing. I created a presentation which I then shared with my class and the story is on my personal blog “Amber the Enchanter”.
Tessa and Jamie- Our action was to make lolly bags and lemonade to sell out on the street. We made little cards saying have a nice day or enjoy the rest of your day, and gave them out to people when they bought something.
Katherine and Corinne- Our action was to make corner bookmarks to give as a present to our classmates and expecting nothing in return, just to put a smile on their faces. This made us feel awesome!
Mia-my action was walking people’s dogs with a friend and I really enjoyed putting smiles on people’s faces
Nick- my action is to be nicer to people and make a poster about bullying, I believe that when people receive compliments it makes them happy and feel good about themselves.
Rylee and Raquel – our action was to care for our families dogs. We went to the park walked around the block and had a good time.
Jonathan and Ivan- Our action was to teach the students of St Luke’s maths. If the students needed help to catch up on their work, or if they just wanted to get ahead of their class, they would come to us.
