﻿Hello, everyone, and welcome to this week's session all about making kindness count. My name is Miss Jadoon, and I'll be talking to you all about kindness. It's because I'm the kindest person in the world. Honestly, I really am. You should ask my mom. Well, I am most of the time. Anyway, so, let's talk about last week's session. In last week's session, you made worry extinguishers and I've seen them online. They're amazing! You're all so creative. So I'm expecting some big things this week. Okay, let's go Let's get started. In this lesson, you will need some coloured card or paper, a pair of scissors, some colouring pencils or felt tips, a glue stick, and maybe even some glitter. Pause the video while you go and collect these items. We're going to start the lesson off by asking what is kindness? How can we be kind at home? What would you do? Making a kindness chart and then you're going to share your work. What is kindness? Kindness is being friendly, generous, and considerate. Can you think of a time when you have been kind to someone? Great. Even smiling at someone is kindness. Teaching someone a new skill is kindness, like the girl in the photograph teaching the boy how to hula hoop. Now, let's see what other people think kindness is. What is kindness?

So to me, kindness is about treating people the way you would want to be treated, and knowing you'd feel really happy if someone else had treated you that way.

Kindness is showing people your heart.

Kindness is doing something nice for somebody else.

Kindness is showing other people that you care about them and looking after them.

Kindness is love.

Kindness having a clean heart.

Kindness is when you have a toy and it's the same toy that someone else is not letting another person have, you can just give it to them and make them feel happier every day, every night, and every noon.

Kindness is giving your last little bit of food to somebody else.

Kindness is sharing.

Kindness is very happy.

Kindness is gentle.

Kindness spreads goodness throughout humanity, sprinkling everywhere.

I think kindness is showing compassion and overall niceness to people, even when they don't deserve it or when they do deserve it, and it's just giving people that hand, that shoulder to cry on and just being there for people.

Kindness is like confetti, and you should spread it everywhere you go.

Kindness is a compliment when somebody needs it the most.

Kindness is being selfless.

Kindness is a mark of faith.

It takes courage to be kind.

Kindness is filling your heart with love.

Now, then. The next slide is super duper exciting. On the next slide, you have something called a kindness grid. Do you know what a kindness grid is? No? Well, then why don't I tell you? A kindness grid has lots of different colours on it. It has some blues and some pinks and some greens. What you get to do is look at the kindness grid, think about all the kind things that you have done in the last week. Maybe you shared something with one of your siblings. Maybe you did some washing up for someone. Maybe you said some kind words to somebody else, somebody who really needed to hear them. What you do is look at the kindness grid, choose all the kind things that you have done, and then add up all the points. It's really quite simple. If you need some help, ask an adult to help you add up. I'm going to tell you a secret. My little sister isn't very good at adding, so she asks for my help. And, you know, it's quite easy once we do it together. So get someones help if you need some. Good luck. Look at the grid and add up your score. Look at all the kind things that you have done. And what does your score add up to? Now, don't worry if your score is low. You've got the rest of the week to improve. So why don't you choose one of these things and try it out? They're really quite easy. Enjoy! Hey, how did you do? Was it amazing? Did you get a really great score? Good! Now, if you didn't get a great score, like I said, don't worry about it. You've got the rest of the week to improve! So get going. Now, you ready for the next part? You're going to be looking at something called What would you do? You're going to watch a clip of two gentlemen. One is called Siraj, and the other is called Ismael. Now, Siraj is trying to do something, and Ismail has to decide whether or not he wants to help him. So, watch the clip, and think about what would you do?

Ah, Ismail, it's too heavy. I can't pull it.

What should Ismail do? Siraj is struggling. What should Ismail do next? Option one, ignore him and walk past, option two, laugh at him and call him a weakling, option three, help him by pushing the trolley, or option four, take a photo of Siraj struggling and show it to all of his friends

Ha, Ismail, it's too heavy, I can't pull it.

What should Ismail do?

I'll help! Sorry.

Ismail did the right thing. Yay! I always knew he was going to. I'm so glad. Did you? Did you know he was going to do that? Okay, so for the next part of our lesson, you're going to do something super exciting, okay? You're making a kindness chart. Let's see how to do it. This is Wacky Art, this is Wacky Art, this is Wacky Art! Hello, boys and girls and welcome to Wacky Art. You're going to love today's lesson. Today we're making a kindness chart. Isn't it amazing? And you can make your very own one at home. Come! Come and have a look. Okay, so you need to start off with a piece of card. Now, you can get lots of pieces of coloured card from any good art shop or any supermarket. So I've got a piece of card here. It's yellow, I quite like it. Step one. What you need to do is fold it in half. So take one corner, ooh, it's a bit tricky. And touch it to the other end and then the other side too and just put a crease in Okay, step two Now you need to get four eight different sections in this piece of card so you need to fold into half like that and fold it in half again and this should give you eight equal sections. Actually this is quite good for your fractions so I'm going to open it up and you will see my eight different sections. so let's have a look over here, there you go. You got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven and eight Step three you need a ruler and a felt tip pen or you could use a pencil to outline different sections. So I'm going to start with the portrait side so I'm going to get my ruler and my piece of card I'm going to hold it from top to bottom and just with one swift action create a straight line. There you go and its all right if you make a mistake this is your kindness chart and okay so once you have drawn all the different sections what you need to do is to make it brighter so what I have done is I cut some pieces of card earlier, which I'm going to add on like this. Now you can do in a nice little pattern so you can put a green one, I'm using a green and red and then another green and another red or you could even swap it round and do it like that. you need to actually stick them on with some glue or else they'll keep moving. So am going to get some glue put it on in the middle and get it on that section. There you go so here is one that we had prepared earlier and you can see actually that each section has a different coloured card on it. So that's what it looks like. Okay, so once you've got all the pieces of cards stuck on like I have done you need to start writing your random acts of kindness. So today I actually cleaned the fish tank so I'm going to write Cleaned the fish tank and make sure its neat writing there you go cleaned the fish tank. I might even do draw a little fish like that coz I like quite like drawing see that smiling okay or even some bubbles like that my dear there you go So you can record the random acts of kindness as you go along you don't have to record them all at the same time. In fact I have a larger kindness chart here and am still recording as I go along each time I do something kind, I record on a piece of card I write it down and then I do the last step which I will show you next. Okay so this is my favourite part. What you need is to get a scrap piece of paper and put underneath and then put your kindness chart on top Now you use a glue spreader for this or you can use a paintbrush. I'm using a paint brush because it gives me more control So get yourself another pot put some PVA glue in it and get yourself a paint brush. Preferably a small one because it gives you more control If you use a bigger paint brush it will just be trickier to do So get the glue and spread it right along the edges of your rectangles. so that's one side and then I'm going to dip it back in again put it here so you can see, dip it back again and do the other side, there you go just follow it long and its all right if it goes a little over the letter just don't completely over the letter There you go and make sure you put enough glue you want to be generous, Okay let's get some more and along the edge too its all right if it gets on your scrap piece of paper take it nice, don't wait too long I was going to say do it nice and slowly but if you are really slow the glue will dry up Oh I absolutely love working with PVA. I especially love it when it gets dry on your fingers and you get to peel it off. Its my favourite part. And there we go okay so I got PVA and you have to work quite fast. Now I got some blue glitter here, I've also got some gold glitter and I think out of the two I probably prefer the blue over on yellow I think it will just really brighten up. So get your blue glitter and am going to just tip it on top of the glue and not too much don't make a mess you don't want your mum walking in and saying, "Hey what have you done here?" all dirt so spread it here just don't push it and then for the big reveal take it off and look at that there you go you got glitter all around the edges and it looks fabulous. Now that's only my first random act of kindness as I keep recording things I will keep adding them on and maybe using different colours of glitter. That's how we made this one. And each time we did something kind or each time Laura did something kind she added it on and she added some glitter on and at the end it looks fabulous. She shared with all her friends and family. I'm going to keep adding to mine, so mine looks like this at the moment you have already seen it I will keep adding to it as I do something kind and that's what the kindness chart looks like. Good luck make it at home and send your entries to us we'd love to see them. Here are some examples of kindness charts that I have made. Now, you can make them the same or you can change them by adding in characters, by adding in different colours, by putting in folds so that you can open parts of the kindness chart up. Remember be creative, make it exciting. Here is your success criteria Your task is to create a kindness chart Now remember, first you must make the chart you can use card or paper. Remember to create eight different sections. You can decorate each section however you like use glitter, use stickers, use cello tapes wherever you fancy If you are an artist, why don't you draw something nice on it. Then complete your acts of kindness, now this bit is the most important bit. You've got to do kind things to be able to record them and write about them and to inspire others. Do the kind things, maybe take some photographs. Those photographs will be good to use in your kindness chart. Once you've done your acts of kindness, record them onto your chart now this bit is also very important because this is the part which will inspire everybody else. Once people have seen all the kind things you have done, it will make them feel good and it will inspire them to go out and to do some of them themselves. So, go record all the kind things that you have done unto your beautiful chart and then share. Share your work, share it with us, share it with your friends and share it with your family. we love seeing all the great work that you do. Good luck
