29/8/19 Fill a bucket awards
Over the past few weeks we have been looking at ways we can fill one another’s invisible buckets or make one another feel good and happy. We have been exploring our treaty and the ‘have you filled a bucket today’ book. We created a fill a bucket wall. We drew some pictures of things we can do to fill other peoples buckets as well as things we enjoy that fill our own buckets up. There were some great examples on the wall that the children could pull off and use or teachers used at group times such as ‘hugs’, ‘smiles’, ‘listening ears’, ‘invite someone to play with you’ etc.
Today we handed out our Fill our Bucket awards.
