This week at The Children’s House we will be talking about families, friendship & kindness! We will focus on supporting the children to get to know each other, and to feel comfortable in their new classes, so we will be doing exercises in how to show kindness e.g. by sharing with someone, offering to help or giving a compliment…to this end, we will be practising how to give compliments in a compliment circle, so the class has to think of a nice thing to say about their friends, thus promoting empathy as well as positive self-image.

The children will also be making friendship bracelets towards the end of the week, and making a friendship poster after having a discussion about their views of what types of things that good friends do for each other!

The More We Get Together

The more we get together, together, together,
The more we get together, the happier we’ll be.
Cause your friends are my friends,
And my friends are your friends,
The more we get together, the happier we’ll be!
