Our Empathy Tree

We have continued to learn about empathy today in Amber Class. Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of others.

We reflect on the story we listened to yesterday of Koi and the Kola Nuts and looked at the different ways in which the characters showed empathy to each other.

We then thought about how we could show empathy to each other and look at a range of different situations.

• How would you greet someone who is feeling sad?
• Why is it important to be kind?
• What would you say to someone who has hurt themselves?
• How would you speak to someone who is feeling lonely?

We created some empathic messages that we could use in and around school to our friends and teachers and then hung them on our empathy tree.

This will act as a reminder if we ever need a helping hand.
