SHOW AND TELL
Congratulations to this amazing pupil from Norwich Road Academy, who was presented with an outstanding kindness award in July!

Amazing work!
Book of the Month
The Colour Monster goes to School
by Anna Llenas
We love this book because it has fun illustrations and also a super story about what the first day of school might feel like. If you are in Year 1-6 then it will help you to remember those feelings and perhaps help your new Year R children with a little kindness. Anna Llena’s other book, “The Colour Monster” is also fabulous at any time of the year and helps us to understand those big feelings. She has even written a new book, The Colour Monster – The Feelings Doctor.
Stacie Swift Activities
Our wonderful ambassador, artist Stacie Swift, has created this back to school activity sheet ready for the new school year! Download it now and have it ready for your first week back.
SHARE YOUR STORIES
We’d love to see what kind things you’ve been up to! If you’d like to share a photo of something kind you have done (for yourself or for someone else) ask a parent or guardian to send it to us.
Self-Kindness tip of the month:
All feelings are ok – even the sad and angry ones. But when you have lots of feelings at the same time it can be overwhelming. Things might feel a bit messy before you start to feel ok – just like this illustration from @newhappyco brilliantly shows!
One way to feel better is to talk to a trusted adult about how you’re feeling.
