Kindness Week

The Chigwell School community came together to celebrate Kindness Week. Pupils and staff pledged 1000 random acts of kindness. We were encouraged to be a secret spreader of kindness, thank someone, be kind to the environment, help us to help others and be kind to ourselves. The whole school community really supported the event by organizing litter picks, upcycling materials, using carbon free search engines, sending anonymous emails to say thank you, donating to charity and taking some extra time to look after themselves by spending extra time with family and friends or getting a good night’s sleep. When asked how supporting Kindness week made them feel pupils and staff made the following comments: “I think it made the people around me feel good and also me. I will continue random acts of kindness in the future.”

“It made me feel proud. I learnt that being kind gives a good feeling.”

“It made me feel happy and proud. I have learnt that this shouldn't be a one-off thing, we should do this all the time.” “I received a kindness thank you email which gave me a warm glow inside. Thank you.” “I really like Kindness Week and it makes you take the time to stop and appreciate the people around you and acknowledge them.”

Well done to everyone involved.
