A Thousand Hours of Kindness!

Cheriton Primary School are proud to be a ‘Thousand Hours’ school for the first time this year. Thousand Hours is a kindness project designed to spread kindness throughout our school community and beyond.

Our mission is to achieve over 1000 hours of kindness as a school during the month of October (including half term). We have five key areas of kindness to work towards:

School kindness                

Community kindness

Self kindness                                

Family kindness

Ninja kindness

Here are some ideas for how to be kind in each of the five areas:

School Kindness:

Keeping our classrooms and schools tidy

 Community Kindness:

Reuse plastic bottles- why not turn them into bird feeders for the garden?

 Self Kindness:

Make a journal and fill it with positive things about yourself

 Family Kindness:

 Play a board game with your family instead of time on your console/device

Ninja Kindness:

Write an encouraging letter or make a picture for somebody you know and post it through their letterbox (don’t put your name on it!)

End of October feedback:

 Cheriton had an amazing month of kindness during October! We saw so many different acts of kindness across all five of the areas and we are so proud of the attitudes and commitment of all our children and staff.

Our mission total for the month of October was to log 1000 hours of acts of kindness. We are pleased to announce that we have smashed our total and as a whole school community, we were able to log 7563 hours!

Congratulations to our winners for the kindest classes in each key stage who were:

KS1- 2C the Kangaroos

KS2- 4CR the Falcons

Our mission now is to make sure that the kindness revolution continues beyond the month of October and is a part of our everyday life both inside and outside of school.

We look forward to Thousand Hours 2020!
