We know you always do this which is why we have decided to set you two kindness challenges!
You are going to have one challenge for someone who you don’t know and one challenge for yourself.
Miss Fawcett and Mrs Storey would love to see some of your kindness work, so if possible you can send your work to [email protected] so that we can see just how kind and loving you have been.
