In p1/2 we all have lovely friendships and Miss Murray was always so impressed with how kind you all were to each other. Today, to finish our Health and Wellbeing week,  we are going to learn about the importance of being kind and what it means to be a good friend to others.

Kindness Bingo Card

Kindness Questions

• Ask someone at home if they can please discuss these questions with you – remember to say please!

Build a Friend

• What makes a good friend?  Talk about what makes a good friend with someone at home.  How would you like your friends to treat you?  How do you think a friend should treat another friend?

Extra Challenge:

• Can you make a friendship bracelet or wristband for someone?
