We had a fantastic training session today with Mr McKendrick and Miss McMahon. We learned what it means to be a peer mediator and started to develop the skills and responsibilities we will use in our new roles.
Here are some important things we have learned so far:
Don’t ask closed questions – Danielle
Don’t take sides in a peer mediation circle – Gemma
Try not to judge – Caitlin
Think, look and listen to your peers – Bethany
Keep your emotions in check – Olivia
Sort it all out fairly – Jack
Other children can’t be forced into sorting things out – Kelsey
No accusations should be made – Rachael
Take a neutral position – Cameron
Show you are listening by looking at the speaker – Martin
Primary Seven have settled into their new class, they have been thinking about the important role they play in St. Serf’s and are looking forward to many successful and exciting things this year. Some of these include; Monitoring, Peer Mediation, Kilbowie, Visiting High School and most importantly setting a great example to and supporting younger pupils at St. Serf’s.
This week Primary Seven will be trained in Peer Mediation on Wednesday and Thursday. Check back soon to see photographs and hear how well it goes.
