Ireland Wood Rocks

We would like to create a whole school kindness and positivity path round the scooter track but we need your help! Over the summer holidays I would like you to decorate at least one rock. The rock design must be either be based on kindness or positivity and could include a message on it.

Here is a story called ‘Only One You’ https://youtu.be/pk3iBH5Uc7w  with some ideas.

Be a bucket dipper!

Based on the story Have You Filled Your Bucket Today? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EuemNAo6XE

Your challenge is to fill a bucket either by writing ideas down on a template or filling an actual bucket. Think about how can you can help others feel happy. Remember try not to be a bucket dipper, as you’ll never fill your own when you dip into someone else’s bucket. We can’t wait to receive them.

Ideas Jar

Think back to when we couldn’t see anyone or visit places. What did you miss doing? Write your ideas in a jar and when you can’t think of an activity pull one out.

Nature activities

Make an animal tracker

Find out what’s been out at night while you’ve been fast asleep!

Make a butterfly garden

Do you like sweets? Butterflies do too – sweet nectar, that is. Give butterflies a healthy sweet shop by growing plants that send them into a real flutter. Choose herbs – they are tough plants that produce lots of flowers and some can live for years.

Make a water tray that feeds itself

Just like us, birds need a drink. Here’s a clever way to give birds water – and your tray will keep topping itself up!

Make a bottle bird feeder

Here’s a neat thing for you to make… and the birds will like it too. Provide pencil perches for the perfect hanging feeder.
