Have you filled a bucket today?, by Miss Adamson
Date: 11th Nov 2016 @ 6:30pm
We read a story called 'Have You Filled a Bucket Today?' That taught us that everyone carries an invisible bucket around with them. When it is full, we feel happy but when it is empty we feel sad. We can fill others people's buckets when we say or do kind things. When we fill other peoples's buckets it fills our own too. When we are unkind we can dip from people's buckets. Sometimes, when our own bucket is empty, we dip from others people's buckets to try to fill our own but it never works.
That was wordy! Google How Full Is Your Bucket? It is an idea to teach children empathy.
The children have written what they do to fill a bucket. We showed some of our ideas at assembly.
