My Bucket Your Bucket

These first few weeks of term 3, we have had a Positive Education focus on strengthening our relationships with others. Our discussions so far have been through the lens of our one school rule; respect. We respect ourselves, others and the environment. Alongside Autahi we have been learning how to respect others through the Character Strength of Kindness. We read the book, have you filled a bucket today? Which discusses how doing things for other people fills their buckets, while also filling our own! After this we went outside to experience and share how the things we have done for others have made both them and us feel good. Tamariki shared the kind things they have done for those around them, while pouring water into their own bucket, and a bucket representing their peers.

Ask your tamariki about the bucket filling story, and what ways they have filled the buckets of others by being kind this week!
