Do an act of kindness. Help one person SMILE!

 

If our children learn early the power of a smile and a kind act the whole world will be a better place. It doesn't have to cost anything to celebrate World Smile Day®. The act of kindness is the celebration.

Charles Ball, President of The Harvey Ball World Smile Foundation

World Smile Day 

World Smile Day 2024

On Friday 4th October 2024 we celebrated World Smile Day. 

Throughout the day we took part in activities including making Smile Day bunting and Smile Day posters which were used to brighten up our school entrance areas and show how important kindness is to us all at Longroyde.

In KS1, adults were awarded certificates to children they see demonstrating kindness during the day. In KS2, the teachers picked their “Smashing Smiler” for the day who was awarded a badge in assembly.

We invited pupils to wear something yellow on this day or something yellow with school uniform. We respectfully asked for a voluntary £1 donation for school funds.

Parents and carers emailed admin@longroyde.calderdale.sch.uk messages to let us know what about their child makes them smile.

Grayson – Little Owls
Grayson makes us smile with his affectionate cheeky character and his growing independence. Carly (mum)

Lillian – Tawny Owls
Like her brother Wilfred, there are thousands of reasons little Bill makes me smile, but most of all having Lillian makes our family circle complete. I always smile when I think of that because she has no idea she brings so much joy to our family. Love you Bill. Johnathan (dad)

Ayda – Tawny Owls
Something that makes me smile about Ayda is her love of singing and dancing. Ayda is always singing, even if it's just about what she is doing at that moment and loves going to her dance class, performing in their shows and watching Strictly Come Dancing! Happy Smile Day Nicola (mum)

Sienna – Robins
What makes me smile about my child? How she tries so hard at everything in life, whether it’s school, home or with her friends.

What makes Sienna smile? When daddy picks her up from school! Carice (mum)

Ayva – Kingfishers
Why does my daughter make me smile? She is the BEST big sister and always tries her best to keep her little sister safe. She achieves so much but doesn't even realise. She is amazing at writing stories and has created so many of her own little books. She recently took part in the 'Midnight walk' charity walk event (10 miles throughout Halifax in the middle of the night) and she managed to do an amazing 7 miles! She also helped us raise £180 for Overgate hospice. I love her to the moon. She underestimates herself so much but doesn't understand how much she has overcome and how PROUD I am of her for everything she does. Jordanna (mum)

Harvey Ross Ball, the inventor of the Smiley, thought that all of us should devote one day each year to smiles and kind acts – hence his idea for World Smile Day.
"If our children learn early the power of a smile and a kind act the whole world will be a better place. It doesn't have to cost anything to celebrate World Smile Day®. The act of kindness is the celebration."
