Values and Virtues

Spring 1 2020

Compassionate and Loving

Compassionate:  We are compassionate when we feel sympathy and concern for other people who are in difficulty whether they are near to us or far away.

Loving: We are loving when we show our sympathy and concern for other people by our actions and by our words.

Year 1 have been thinking about the different ways they can show their  love and compassion to both their friends and teachers at school and their loved ones at home.

Attentive and Discerning

Attentive:  We are attentive when we listen to our calling from God to love and serve one another in all that we do.  We are attentive to our experiences and can see where they will take us in our future vocations.  

Discerning:  We are discerning when we decide to do the right thing in the interest of the needs of others because we know the positive impact that will have on their lives.

Grateful and Generous

Grateful: We are grateful for the gifts God has given to us, for the gifts of other people and the blessings of each new day. We are thankful for what we have and for the people around us.

Generous: We are generous with our gifts and use them in the service of others. We are generous with our time and give of ourselves to serve others as God wants us to. We are generous with our actions, doing things to help other people and make a difference to the world.

Year 1 have been thinking about how grateful they are for their families and how they can be generous in different ways.  We have produced a lovely display - we hope you enjoy looking at the photographs.
