Our original character, Leo the lion, guides pupils through the advent period. Leo encourages children to move past superficial gestures, prompting them to consider the psychological benefits of kindness for both the giver and the recipient. This Pshe kindness advent worksheet year 5 greater depth is specifically differentiated for gifted and talented learners. While standard tasks are provided, the greater depth section challenges pupils to move into higher-order thinking.
The resource includes 8 challenging questions designed to stretch high-attaining students:
1. Explain why performing an act of kindness without seeking recognition might be more impactful than a publicised gesture.
2. Compare and contrast the short-term joy of receiving a gift with the long-term satisfaction of helping someone in need.

4. What might happen to a school community if every pupil committed to one deliberate act of kindness daily for a month?
5. Analyse the difference between empathy and sympathy in the context of your advent challenges.
6. Design a plan for a kindness initiative that could be sustained throughout the entire academic year.
7. Critique your own advent experiences: Which act was the most difficult to perform and why?
8. Write a short poem reflecting on the ripple effect of one small, kind action.
