BE KIND THURSDAY 18th June

Good morning Team Gunson. I don't know who is here to see this at the moment but I want you all to think about how difficult the situation we find ourselves in is. No-one is having an easy time. Most of us are missing our friends, many of us are missing school, including me. We are all different in the ways we deal with our isolation. Some of you like to fill your days with learning to stop the boredom, some fill it with exercise, some with online gaming or Youtube. As I know from chatting to many of you recently, some of you are finding it hard to fill your time at all. We all cope in different ways. If someone is coping in a different way to you that doesn't mean that what they are doing is wrong, just as your way of coping is not wrong either. Whenever you are in contact with your classmates remember that and... BE KIND. Being kind says a lot about you as a person and is something that we all value most in our friends.

English: draft the middle of a science fiction story

Yesterday we planned out a science fiction story. We looked at: the fact that it should:

Yesterday we took our plans and drafted the 'introduction' section to our Science Fiction story..

You introduced the characters and the different world.

Today we draft the middle: Where do the characters travel? What happens? What problems do they have?

Remember to use lots of excellent descriptive language. Can you include:

A simile
Some personification

Topic:. Small Acts of Kindness

What is kindness? Come up with your own definition.
What do you think a ‘small act of kindness’ might be?
What small acts of kindness pupils have come across in your lives – perhaps you have been kind to others, or others have been kind to you. What did they do and how did this make you feel? How did it make other people feel?
A small act such as tidying something up without being asked, saying thank you to someone or giving them a hug, or helping a friend with something they are struggling with like homework may help to put a smile on somebody’s face.

Creating Kindness Cards

Today I would like you to create small cards with a small act of kindness that can be done at home written on each of them. You might like to illustrate the cards too.
These acts might help somebody to have a brilliant day, even if they were feeling sad before.
A small act can have a huge impact. E.g. smiling at somebody who is unhappy will help them feel that someone has noticed and cares. You could help a parent or carer by tidying your room or making them a cup of tea/ You could also send a nice message to a friend or make something for them and post or deliver it (in a socially distanced way of course! Think about the virtual hugs that Danika sent out, that was so lovely. Why not post them on Padlet to let your parents and friends know that you care.

Ideas for small acts of kindness:

Smile at 3 people today
Ask someone to join in a game at home or online
Help with the washing up
Write a letter or card to a friend
Give someone a compliment
Make a special effort to say thank you
Draw a picture for someone
