How to Achieve this in the Classroom

Offer to help your learning partner as they learn to master a new skill.

Help out your teacher, by handing out equipment and helping to tidy up.

Leave your workspace tidy and ready for the next learner.

Remember that everyone around you is different and will have their own experiences and views.

Listen to others and show kindness at all times.

When learning about key characters in a subject, imagine what it must be like to be them for a day and see what you can learn from them.

How to Achieve this around your School and Local Community

Participate in charity fundraising events; you will see these advertised in the local news, supermarkets and social media (always ask a parent or carer first!).

Offer to help people with their daily or weekend tasks, especially if they are elderly or alone. For example, can you help someone to do their shopping or look after their garden?
