Thank You Card

Dear Parent Helper,  

Thank you for helping us at the picnic because without your help we wouldn't be able to go to the picnic. Thank you for looking out for us. You were one of the best helpers that I've been with.

We have an assembly before we go off to the picnic. What we do in the assembly is we come together as a group. Mr Burt gives us instructions because we might have new people and they don’t know what to do.

My favourite memory was playing volleyball with some of my friends. My other favourite memory was laying down on the grass with my friend listening to music and sleeping.

Thank you for helping us by Ata

Empathy

What does Empathy mean? Well empathy means when someone gets hurt and they feel the pain and your friend feels sorry for you then that’s called Empathy. When you're looking after one another and sharing each others emotions by knowing how they feel.

Say if you hit your toe on a door and it really hurts and your cousin, sister or brother asks ‘’what’s wrong’’ and you say ‘’I hit my toe on that door’’. They ask ‘’are you okay?’’ You say ‘’yes I’m fine’’. Then that’s another way to show what empathy means.

Let me tell you another way to explain what Empathy means. Say if I get into a fight and I get hurt,  your friend picks you up and says ‘’are you okay?’’. If you don’t say anything back then your friend might feel sorry for you and she or he might know how you feel. There’s another way to show what Empathy means.
