I wonder, what can you do today to show compassion to others?

We are going to try and demonstrate this to the younger children, especially in our final days of primary school! We hope we receive compassion on our first days in Year 7! ##### 2G *8 July 2024* We can help and show compassion to people less fortunate than ourselves by Giving them something to eat We can buy something for them Share our things with them Give them and drink Give them some money Help them to do things Cheer them up when they are sad Help them if they fall ##### 5B *8 July 2024* Respect your elders. Care for them. Say nice things to them. Give them a hand and your time when you can. ### Leave a Comment - [![Artsmark Award](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/images/partners/Am_Schl_Gld_RGB.jpg)](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/about-us/our-awards) - [![EAL Quality Mark](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/images/partners/EAL_Silver.jpg)](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/about-us/our-awards) - [![Halo Code](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/images/partners/halo_code.jpg)](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/about-us/our-awards) ##### Location New Hall Lane Preston Lancashire PR1 5XB ##### Contact Us 01772 794482 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61587761925215) - [X](https://x.com/mackley_ma56490) © Copyright 2018–2026 St Matthew's Church of England Primary Academy and Nursery School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.stmatthewspreston.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
