Friendship Week!

This week has been 'Friendship Week'!

At Key Stage 1 we began the week with one of our favourite stories, "Rainbow Fish". Just like the main character in the story, we gave away (pretend) sparkly fish scales to people who were good friends.

We learned that in order to have good friends you need to be one. Our new 'Playground Helpers' were introduced to the school. They will be outside every play-time from now on and will be wearing bright orange bibs.

They will be leading a special game every day that everyone can join! This helps us to make new friends across the school and make sure nobody is lonely. On Wednesday afternoon we met in our House Teams and had 'Play-Clap-Sing' out in the playground. What fun!

All week we have been nominating friends in our classes for our 'Friendship Wall' and giving them special stickers. We competed in our House Teams to see who could work together the best to win the most points. Our challenge was to run up the ladder, go under the arch, grab a beanbag and then race back to our team.

Our teammates cheered each other on! To celebrate the Tawny Owls winning, they had a special picnic in the hall and played some games with Miss Shore. Next week, to follow-on, we will be learning about bullying and learning how we can prevent it from happening in our school and what to do if you need help.
