Think about signs of LOVE you see around you every day

Who shows us LOVE in our lives? Our families Our friends Nurses and doctors Our school staff Who else?

LOVE comes from within yourself. We all have love inside of us. If we love ourselves we can love others – but sometimes that’s really difficult.

... the greatest love of all Is happening to me I found the greatest love of all Inside of me The greatest love of all Is easy to achieve Learning to love yourself It is the greatest love of all Written by Michael Masser and Linda Creed

What good things can you say about yourself? What makes you wonderful? “I really care about my family, my friends, my staff and all of the children at The Downley School.”

“I try really hard to listen to people and to respect their point of view – even if I don’t agree with it”.

“I am really kind to animals and do my best to look after the world I live in”.

“I care very much about my home, my school and the community I live in”.

Why do some people find it hard to LOVE?

They may not have been loved They may have been let down They may be angry or feel bad about themselves

First moment of reflection... What do you love about yourself?

How can we show LOVE?

Written by Sam McBratney Illustrated by Anita Jeram

LOVE can be very powerful. It can help to change people’s lives. It can make the world a better place. “It is not how much we do, but how much love we put into the doing. It is not how much we give, but how much love we put into the giving.” Mother Teresa

LOVE can be very powerful. It can help to change people’s lives. It can make the world a better place. “At the centre of non-violence stands the principle of love.” Martin Luther King

LOVE can be very powerful. It can help to change people’s lives. It can make the world a better place. “Power is of two kinds. One is obtained by the fear of punishment and the other by acts of love. Power based on love is a thousand times more effective and permanent then the one derived from fear of punishment.” Mahatma Gandhi

LOVE can be very powerful. It can help to change people’s lives. It can make the world a better place. What can you say about love? ?

A value is a principle that guides our thinking and behaviour LOVE How does LOVE do this?

A quiet moment of prayer or reflection... LOVE

When we reflect, think about what you LOVE about yourself. Then think about someone you LOVE? See them in your mind. How do you show your LOVE? Do you ever take them for granted? How will you show your LOVE in the future?

As we reflect, think about how LOVE makes the world a better place to be.

Here in our school Let us be peaceful at all times. Let our rooms be full of happiness and respect for each other. LOVE Let LOVE be in our hearts With kindness and compassion for all. Let us remember In learning together, We grow together And succeed together. A prayer for all of us

A World Without Love…

What would a world without love look like?

What could be the CONSEQUENCES of not showing love to yourself?

What could be the CONSEQUENCES of not showing love to others?

How could LOVE turn a negative situation into a positive one?
