We have been following a wonderful story here at Kindy called Have you Filled a Bucket Today? Written by Carol McCloud.
This story is a guide to daily happiness for kids. It shares ideas on everyone having an invisible bucket that they carry with them and that we can fill each other's buckets by doing and saying kind things to one another. In turn we can empty someones bucket by being unkind to them.
The tamariki are gaining a really great understanding of this bucket filling philosophy and many are very conscience of how they can be filling each others buckets.
We have a special bucket now on the window inside and when we see people doing exceptional bucket filling they get to put a paint 'splodge' on the window. It is fun to see the bucket starting to fill up. Our aim is to fill the entire bucket and we will have a celebration day to reward all our bucket filling at the end.
