On Thursday 6th June we celebrated Empathy Day which is an important part of our curriculum. The children learned through story, discussion and action the importance of understanding the feelings of others. The three elements to empathy were READ, ACT, CONNECT.
Showing empathy is part of our Catholic Social Teaching and is a value we want our children to have so that they can be kind and compassionate citizens of our world.
Empathy Day celebrates and grows empathy’s power to create a better world.
It shines a light on books’ role in raising an empathy-educated generation.
Empathy Day inspires children to learn more about empathy, have transformational experiences through stories, and to put empathy into action!
