BUILDING MY BEST SELF
AS A CARING YOUNG PERSON WHO MATTERS The best way to build your and others’ wellbeing is to have positive feelings often by choosing to do little things, such as, smiling, being kind, listening with your eyes, ears and heart, saying “hello” and “thank you”. From little things big things grow.

What is a choice that I will need to make? .................................................................................................................................... ........................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Who can help me to do this? .............................................................................................................................................................. ........................................................................................................................................................................................................................... To have more than four positive feelings for every negative one, I will do good to feel good and feel good to do good by doing these things... ........................................................................................................................................................................................................................... ...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................

CHARACTER STRENGTH WEEKS There are six Strengths Weeks spread throughout this planner. They provide you and your class with opportunities to practise using your strengths to build a resilient state of wellbeing. They are also fun to do at home with your family. The order of these weeks are: Gratitude, Kindness, Bravery, Honesty, Creativity and Teamwork.
KINDNESS WEEK There is a Japanese saying which says that one kind word can warm three winters. Being kind to others and to yourself are great ways to live a full and happy life and make a positive difference in the world. Kind acts don’t have to be big. Sometimes a smile or saying hello are enough to be kind to others. This week make Kindness Walls both in your classroom and at home for your class and your family to write down or draw acts of kindness they received or did for others or themselves, that they are grateful for. This Week’s Kindness Gratitudes: This week write down or draw acts of kindness they did for others or themselves, and ones they are grateful they received.
