Values At SJSJ

This week, our Word of the Week was “thanks.” The children in Year 1 spent time thinking about what this word means to them and why it is important to show gratitude to others. They discussed some of the everyday things we say “thank you” for, such as when someone helps us, shares with us, or does something kind.

The children then reflected on the many things they are thankful for in their own lives. They shared thoughtful ideas about their families, friends, pets, homes, toys, and the opportunities they have at school. The discussions encouraged the children to recognise and appreciate the positive things around them and continue to develop an understanding of gratitude and kindness towards others.
