  Half Term Focus Week – Kindness in the Community

   

  We are all looking forward to our focus week taking place next week. Our theme for the focus week is ‘Kindness in the Community’. The week will include looking how kindness can be spread in the community with our actions. According to mentalhealth.org.uk this is how kindness can affect the community we live in…..

   

  How does kindness help the community?

  Acts of kindness can make the world a happier place for everyone. They can boost feelings of confidence, being in control, happiness and optimism. They may also encourage others to repeat the good deeds they've experienced themselves – contributing to a more positive community.

   

  We will be working with the children on our homeless project next week.

  Our pupils have been busy writing letters to shops across Swansea to ask them to donate a range of items that can be gifted to homeless people at Christmas time. Next week, our pupils will be packing donated items into bags and sending them to the charities Matthew's House and The Wallich. 

   

  A big thank you for your generosity in kindly donating items and gift bags for our project.

   

  Click on the link below to find some ideas on how you can spread kindness. Please let us know what you have been involved in. Write up your act of kindness on a post it note and stick it on our display which will be located on the Y2/3 Decking any photographs are very welcome too! Let’s see how kind our Cila Family is!

• Cila Community Kindness

  Wed 22 Nov 2023

  Our Challenge Week this half term is to show kindness to our community. We have decided to show our kindness to each other, and to those that are without a home in Swansea. Being homeless must be difficult throughout the year, but winter poses extra obstacles and challenges.

   

  Our pupils have been busy writing letters to shops across Swansea to ask them to donate a range of items that can be gifted to homeless people at Christmas time. Pupils will be packing donated items into bags and sending them to the charities Matthew's House and The Wallich. 

  If you would like to show your kindness too, by donating some of the items from the list below to this fantastic cause, please send them into school by Friday 8th December. 

  Thank you so much for your support! 

  From everyone at Cilâ

• Dogs Trust Assembly

  Thu 16 Nov 2023

  We had a great time in assembly this morning learning all about how to keep safe around dogs that we are not familiar with. Claire explained how we should react if an unfamiliar dog is running towards us. She also explained some dog behaviours to us so that we have a better understanding of how a dog is feeling.
