Goody bags

 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c93qpk8w117o

What do you se in the picture, what do you think this story is about?

Finley- Jay is 8 years old and has ADHD and he got an idea from something he saw online called, "Hit the ambulance gamers"

What do you think this is about?

A "hit" is a random act of kindness.

What is a random act of kindness, can you think of an example?

Finely- Jay regularly fills goody bags with tea, coffee, sweets, biscuits, chocolates and pens and takes them to his local hospital to give to ambulance drivers. All the items are donated to Finley by friends and family.

Why does he do that?

How do you think ambulance drivers feel when Finley-Jay gives them a goodie bag?

Why is this an example of a random act of kindness?

An ambulance driver said, "Our staff don't do the job for thanks, but having someone like Finley handing out goody bags certainly makes the role even more worthwhile."

Finley's mum says, "Whenever we have some spare time, you can find Finley up at the hospital by A&E handing out little bags that he's made up."

  What do you see in the picture? Where are they, what are they doing? How was that photo taken, where is the person taking the picture standing (are they standing?) The picture shows 164 members of an international skydiving team broke the world record for skydiving formation, over Illinois USA. This was their 13th attempt to build a shape resembling a giant flower. The previous record was 138. http://www.theguardian.com/sport/gallery/2015/jul/31/world-record-skydiving-formation-in-pictures -What is skydiving, how does it work? - how do you think it feels to skydive? - The skydiving team are an "International" team, what does that mean? - How did the team make this happen? (working together) - Do you think anyone on the team said, "I'm not holding his hand because we have a different religion," or, "I'm not holding your hand because we are from a different country". Did anyone say, "We have skin that is a different colour so we can't hold...

Kamden uses a wheelchair and one day Paul was horrified when he saw his friend's chair tip up and Kamden fall out. The problem was Kamden had grown too big for his chair, but his family could not afford to buy a new one. Paul said, "His wheelchair has fallen forward so many times and that sucks. Also he has a really hard time pushing it because it's so heavy." Paul decided he needed to help his friend so he investigated ways to raise money. Paul asked his Mun to set up a Go Fund Me page to raise $3900 for a new chair. In 26 days the page had raised $5935! Kamden's mum said, "What really contributes to their friendship is that Paul does not see Kamden as someone who has a disability. He sees him as Kamden. Because of that, Ka...

The female reptile, measuring just 49cm is one of only seven in the world. She is a Leucistic alligator. Leucistic alligators are the rarest of all alligators. The alligator has a brother born at the same time with skin the same colour as most other alligators. The alligator has been described as beautiful. The park is asking people to suggest a name for the reptile.
