NEW - Term 1 Week 8 & 9 PBIS Blitz

Showing Kindness to Others

Our new PBIS Blitz is on showing kindness to others. 

It's all about creating a positive and caring environment! Kindness is like a magic wand. 

It has the power to make someone's day brighter. It could be a simple smile, a friendly gesture, or lending a helping hand – small acts of kindness can make a big difference.

 

Let's share a couple of examples to inspire everyone. 

Imagine if someone drops their books – offering to help pick them up is an act of kindness or when you see someone feeling down, a kind word or a supportive gesture can mean the world to them. Every small act of kindness counts. 

Let's create a chain reaction of positivity and make St. Mary's an even more wonderful place to be!

 

 

Grattitude

Working on gratitude helps us to be thankful and appreciate what we have in our lives, rather than focusing on what we don’t have or what we want. When we practise being grateful, we start to scan the world to look for positives – this only takes 21 days! Practising gratitude every day increases our levels of energy, and helps us to feel happier and more focused, determined and optimistic. It even helps us have better sleep, lowers levels of anxiety and depression and we are less likely to get sick. So many benefits – let’s all try to be grateful for the things and people in our lives every day!

Whole Family Activity -

Gratitude Scavenger Hunt

  • As a family create a scavenger hunt list of things that make you happy or you are grateful for, you can make your own list or use the examples below:
  • Something that makes you happy
  • Something you love to smell
  • Something you enjoy looking at
  • Something that is your favourite colour
  • Something you like in nature
  • Something that is useful for you
  • Each member of the family uses the list and has to find as many things as they can.
  • You can hunt for things inside or outside, or both. You can hunt for real things, or you can also do this using magazines or pictures from the internet.
  • After a set amount of time hunting, come back together, have a look at what each person collected and let them explain why they are grateful for each item.

Family Habit Builder -

Every night at dinner, have each person talk about their favourite thing about that day.
