πŸ’“ Heartbeats – November Kindness & Creativity πŸ’“

Spreading smiles, sharing love, and connecting hearts!

πŸŽ„ Christmas Card Exchange

The Christmas season is all about sharing joy, warmth, and friendship. This year, my students took part in a Christmas Card Exchange with partner schools across Europe! Each child contributed to the design of the handmade cards filled with festive wishes, drawings, and creativity.

Through this activity, our little artists practise English, express their imagination, and experience the true spirit of giving. When the cards arrive, we’ll create a Christmas Wall of Friendship and Wishes to display them all — a colorful reminder that kindness travels across borders!

Together with our Christmas cards, we prepared a small surprise gift for our partners — handmade ornaments with dried orange and lemon slices and star anise. We called them “Citrus Heartbeats from Cyprus”, bringing the fragrance and warmth of our island to our friends abroad. Each ornament carries a message of kindness, peace and friendship, just like the heartbeats that connect us all. πŸŠπŸ‹πŸ’›

🌸 World Kindness Day & Kindness Week 🌸

In November, we celebrate World Kindness Day on November 13. To mark this special day, we organized a joyful Kindness Week filled with small but meaningful actions.

Every day, students carried out a different act of kindness — smiling, helping, sharing, thanking, and caring for others and for nature. These small steps help our hearts grow stronger and remind us that kindness is a superpower we all have! πŸ’«

πŸ’– Our Kindness Week Plan:

  • Monday: We are becoming a Kindness School-Kindness Agreement
  • Tuesday: Show kindness to nature — plant, clean, care.  
  • Wednesday: Say 'Thank you' Day.
  • Thursday (Nov 13): Write and share Kindness Notes.
  • Friday: Celebrate with our Kindness Wall full of messages and photos!

We believe kindness spreads like ripples on water — one good action inspires another. Together, we’ll fill our school with smiles, compassion, and positive energy! 🌈


Monday – Spreading the Message of Kindness

The students of Class D2 visited all the classrooms to share our mission of becoming a Kindness School. Everyone who wished to take part signed our Kindness Agreement. It was truly heartwarming to see so many children eager to join our effort to make kindness a daily habit.

Tuesday- Kindness to nature 

We showed kindness to our planet! The students collected litter, practiced recycling, and created our Tree of Promises. On each leaf, they wrote a pledge about how they will take care of trees and protect the environment. Our board turned into a green reminder that kindness begins with respect for nature.




Wednesday- Thank you notes



A simple thank you can brighten someone’s day! The children wrote small notes of appreciation to people at school and at home — to their teacher, the headmistress, the cleaning lady, their parents, and others who make their days better. Gratitude was in the air all day long!




Thursday- Kind Words for Classmates

Each student drew a classmate’s name and wrote a kind compliment or an encouraging message for them. They secretly placed the notes on their friends’ desks. Later, we opened the notes together — smiles, laughter, and warm hearts filled the room!




Friday- The Wall of Kindness 

On a heart-shaped paper, every child wrote about a kind act they had received that truly meant something to them. Together with Thursday’s notes, we created our beautiful Wall of Kindness — a colourful reminder that even the smallest acts can make a big difference.

International Dot Day: Where Creativity Comes Alive

  The Lithuanian team joyfully took part in the celebration of International Dot Day. To begin, the students watched the inspiring short film “The Dot” by Peter H. Reynolds, which encouraged them to believe in their creativity and to express themselves without fear. After the video, they shared their thoughts and impressions about the message of the story and discussed why this day is celebrated around the world. To mark the occasion, the students created their own colorful dots and brought them to life using the augmented reality app Quiver. The moment when the drawings transformed into 3D animated creations was truly exciting and filled the classroom with surprise and joy. It was a wonderful experience that combined creativity, art, and modern technology, leaving students inspired to keep exploring their talents.

πŸ’—πŸ’žπŸ’– Logo Contest • Heartbeats at School • European Code Week 🎨 Logo Contest At first, the students recorded their ideas on Mentimeter so that everyone in the class could share and get inspired by each other’s thoughts. This process encouraged active participation and gave every student a voice, making the activity truly democratic. Then, they began working on their logo designs . Some worked individually, others collaborated in pairs or small groups, while a few preferred to work digitally. Throughout this stage, the students showed great enthusiasm and creativity, enjoying the opportunity to express their ideas. Our proposal Once all the designs were completed, we held a class vote to select the logo that would represent our proposal. This final step reinforced the democratic process and allowed the children to feel proud and involved in the decision-making. Mentimeter πŸ’ž Heartbeats at Scho...
