Helping Hands Week 2026
From 19th–23rd January, our whole school celebrated Helping Hands Week - a brilliant week focused on kindness, teamwork and positive choices.
Each day, P7 helpers led our Daily Challenge, selecting a kindness task from the Challenge Bucket. Classes coloured a star each time they completed a challenge, aiming for all 5 stars by Friday!
Classes also took part in our Kindness Bucket Challenge on the IWB: Every kind act = 10 points. Magic Stars from mystery visitors = 50 points! (Winning class to be announced soon!)
Our P7 pupils also delivered fantastic lessons exploring:
Invisible buckets & how feelings are affected
Being a bucket filler vs. a bucket dipper
How our words and actions impact others
The ripple effect of kindness across our school
Key Messages to Reinforce at Home
- You can talk about anything with someone you trust.
- Everyone has the right to feel safe.
- Others have the right to feel safe with us.
- If someone says/does something unkind, we start with: “Stop it, I don’t like it.”
A huge well done to all our amazing pupils - our school is full of bucket fillers! ??
