SHOW AND TELL
Kindness Ambassadors at Roundwood Primary school have been getting creative with kindness and ‘hiding’ home-made friendship bracelets around the school for other lucky
children to find.
Each bracelet has a kind note attached, like this one pictured. We absolutely love them!
Well done!

Self-Kindness tip of the month:
Did you know that reading poetry can be good for your well-being?
The Poetry Society found that reading poetry can reduce stress! That’s pretty cool. Even more cool, is that when you read poetry out loud, it helps you to feel even calmer.
You can find good poems to read aloud at the Children’s Poetry Archive where you can also hear the poet themselves reading their poem, and read along with them
Tell your person or people why you are grateful for them and what you like about them – it will also help you feel happier too!
