Dear Aunt Jesma,

Thank you for being such a great neighbour. You and your family are friendly neighbours. I enjoy interacting with your family. I am grateful to have such kind neighbours just right next to me. I love playing with your kids too!

You give me gifts and always have souvenirs saved for me from your travels. I really appreciate all you have done for my family.

Love,

Karina [5 Hope]

Hi, I’m Ryan. I have a special neighbour, Aunt Susan. Her children’s names are Jack and Miyoko. Aunt Susan has been living in her flat for sixteen years. She resided one year earlier before my family. She is a very friendly lady and her hobby is gardening. She plants lots of plants along the corridor. Most of them are flowering plants. I like the plants because some of them are those I have learnt during my Science lessons. Sometimes, I help out Aunt Susan to water her potted plants. At the same time, I also share my knowledge on plants with her. She is a responsible neighbour who takes good care of her potted plants by keeping them tidy along the common corridor. I do hope that Aunt Susan and I will become good role models for neighbours in our Punggol neighbourhood. Ryan Primary 5 Faith

Having a kind neighbour is everyone’s hope. Having a caring neighbor touches the heart. It’s great to have someone smile and look out for you every day!

Bring on that SMILE…

Sharing is Caring On Fridays during recess periods, our Kindness Ambassadors and Buddies make time to sit down with their peers to spread Kindness messages. It was not an easy task to get everyone’s attention but the satisfaction of having the opportunity to build confidence and spread messages on ‘how to be respectful to our common spaces’ and ‘not waste food’ was a worthwhile experience.

“The canteen is our common space. We have to show respect by keeping it clean for everyone.”

Rohin and Cayden, our Kindness Buddies from Pri 3,sharing with their peers on ‘No food wastage’.
