KIND STORY OF THE WEEK
This month, 13 year old Max from Devon ended his three-year camping challenge to raise money for the North Devon hospice. He raised over a whopping £700,000 for the hospice that cared for his neighbour, by sleeping in his tent nearly every night. He was nicknamed “The Boy in the Tent”. His poorly neighbour gave Max his tent and told him to have an adventure in it. Well, Max certainly did that – what an inspiration he is.

STORY TIME
This week, we are reading a book called Kindness Means. It is full of ideas about how to be even more kind. Which idea will you try this week to spread kindness?
With thanks to author Natalia Simons. The book can be purchased here.
