The school's teacher of religious studies (who is an angel in disguise) has been working with the students to help each other and spot acts of compassion in action. With Book Week happening this week she even used a quote about compassion from Winnie the Pooh, “A little consideration, a little thought for others, makes all the difference.”
Being an angel means that you are practising acts of kindness and compassion without a second thought and with young children Circle Time and picture books are an ideal way to spark a discussion.
Aesop's fables are renowned for featuring some fundamental morals such as "no act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted." The Lion and the Mouse
