Cheryl's mum said...
I think most of the pupils from 3A would know by now who is the one we are talking about here. Yes, it is Kaiwen. I think it would be nice to let everyone know who the star is!!!! I really think it is worth mentioning it. She should be proud of her act of kindness, and her mum's too!!I really admire their kindness to the abandoned animals.

Kindness Chart
A kindness chart was created for every class. For every kind act that the pupils have done, the teachers will indicate with a sticker. The pupil with the most number of stickers from each class will be rewarded with a token. 
Who is the kindest pupil?
This kindness chart serves as a reminder as well as encourages the pupils to practice and show kindness to their friends and teachers.
Who is the kindest pupil? Tuesday, August 11, 2009
A girl from 3a showed kindness to animals. Her mother adopted a sick hamster and a unwanted rabbit. She nursed the hamster back to health and did everything she could to help it. As for the rabbit, she adopted it when she found it unwanted by the school gate D. The girl was compassionate to it and took pity on it.
So, remember, you can not only care for people in your own kind but even animals need your care and help to survive. You can even care for the environment. How? You should not litter.

Well done, Ifa!
Showing kindness in school

Send somebody a smile!
Here are the lyrics to the Singapore Kindness Movement theme song, "Send somebody a smile" by Jack and Rai. Sing along, everyone! :)
Come on and show me a big smile
I got something special in mind
And I know it might not seem much
It's just a simple plan to give a helping hand
It's something we can all do
Today, tomorrow, me and you
We could bring some cheer to this world
Come on everybody, every boy and girl, singing
Chorus:
Once in a while
You got to send somebody a smile
A thought is how you start to change the world
Come on and share it
A little kindness is easy to bring
Anything, even a cheeky little grin
Little by little we can make things better
Around the world we've got to stick together
Chorus
Something big or something small
Be proud of your actions and stand up tall
Come on and show me a big smile
I got something special in mind
And I know it might not seem much
It's just a simple plan to give a helping hand
It's something we can all do
Today, tomorrow, me and you
We could bring some cheer to this world
Come on everybody, every boy and girl, singing
Chorus:
Once in a while
You got to send somebody a smile
A thought is how you start to change the world
Come on and share it
A little kindness is easy to bring
Anything, even a cheeky little grin
Little by little we can make things better
Around the world we've got to stick together
Chorus
Something big or something small
Be proud of your actions and stand up tall

What is kindness to you?
Hi!
This is our very first post on this blog. Let us share with you what we think kindness means...
Kindness is about love and care for others in our daily life. How do we show kindness? For example, we can help people who are in need. We can help the poor by helping in charity work. It is important to show kindness to everybody, because maybe one day we might also need their help. But remember, doing kind acts is always better than having kind acts done for you. Kindness is very important, so be kind to your family and friends.
