Hello everyone, it’s Mrs Cunningham here again.
At school yesterday, I was chatting about how lots of people seem happier in the past few days. People in the street, people in the Co Op and people on the news on the TV. Mrs Peacock sent me this little story which I thought I would share with you.
A wise teacher once brought balloons to school and blew them up. She then told the children to write their name on one of them. Then the children let go of them in the hall and the teacher moved through the hall mixing them all up. The children were given five minutes to find the balloon with their name on it. They all searched really hard, but no one found their own balloon.
So then the teacher told the children to take the balloon closest to them and give it to the person whose name was on it. In less than two minutes, everyone was holding their own balloon.
The teacher said to the children, “These balloons are like happiness. We won’t find it when we are only searching for our own. But if we care about someone else’s happiness we will then find our own.”
So, I think if you do something nice today for someone and it makes them feel happy, I bet you will feel happy too.
Have a wonderful Wednesday
Mrs Cunningham
