Happy Random Acts of Kindness Day! Kindness is so very important in life for so many reasons. It helps us build trust and connections with others, making us all feel noticed and accepted, as well as fostering a sense of belonging within our communities. A simple act of kindness can even reduce our stress levels.
At Chestnut Nursery School The Diamond Centre, we have been talking about how we can be kind to others, and who we are kind to, as well as thinking about people who are kind to us. Jen baked cakes to share with the staff and parents this morning, and organised a little treat for all our hardworking staff, and got Tony (who’s building our new decking!) a little gift to show how much we appreciate his hard work also. The children enjoyed baking cookies together, to share with those people they care about and to show kindness. While talking about being kind the children listed people who help us, such as the emergency services, and so today for Random Acts of Kindness Day we delivered some sweet treats to the amazing staff at Sprowston Fire Station!
Once the children had delivered their gifts, Jamie and Ash showed them around the fire station and engines. They explained what happens when they need to go out to an emergency and showed us how they get ready super quickly! The children loved exploring the gadgets, especially all the lights, and helpful tools in the compartments of the fire engine. Then as an extra treat they got to try their hand at putting out a pretend fire in the carpark. It was a fantastic morning and all the children had an amazing time. Thank you to Jamie, Ash and all at Sprowston Fire Station for all that they do, and for such a fun and educational morning!
