The children in 80 thought it would be a nice idea to make an advent calendar to give out acts of kindness rather than receiving a treat. All the children shared ideas and wrote them on the back of a number.  Each day a name was randomly picket out of the tub and the pupil picked the act of kindness that they had to deliver throughout that day.  Some of the acts were  telling a friend a joke, saying a lovely morning greeting, keeping the door open for others, give a compliment to another person and help with cleaning at school and at home.  In return the pupils had the choice to receive a dojo point or a small chocolate treat.  From the words of Bobby Rockett “Christmas is not all about getting it’s about giving and being kind”.
