Each half term we focus with the children on certain words to do with different attributes. This half term the words are “Compassionate” and “Loving.” 4LK have created acrostic poems around the words. William would like to share his with you: Let your hear be kind to everyone Outgrowing with love. Very happy when you share with friends. Everlasting friendship. Continue to show mercy. Open your heart to forgive Make yourself show pity. Please the people who are hurt Attend to the people in need Show pity Show mercy Instantly help each other Other people will respect you Never don’t help anyone. Dear Lord, Please help us to make every day compassionate and loving. Amen
