Caring means looking after yourself, other people and the world around you. Small kind actions make a big difference.
Caring for…
| Who / what | How I can care |
|---|---|
| myself | eat well, sleep, wash, ask for help when I need it |
| others | share, comfort a sad friend, help someone who falls, say kind words |
| my classroom | tidy up, put books back, look after the class plants |
| my school and community | put litter in the bin, do not waste water, help older neighbours |
Helping people feel safe and happy
Smile, say hello, invite others to play and stand up for someone being teased. Tell a grown-up if someone is hurt or in danger.
