Kind and Caring Cottage Students

We have been talking about the meaning of the word compassion. One of the ways the children have shown compassion and kindness has been the way they have been caring for the nesting birds in our playground. They have placed water down in a bowl each week so that the mummy bird has not had far to go to have a drink. Today we watched as the birds flew down to swim in the water while we were eating lunch, trusting that the children were kind and caring. We also had some Lorikeets come and steal a grape from one of our lunch boxes. The children then had fun dressing up as birds and playing with the toy birds at the small world table.
