Friendship Week: A Week Full of Fun, Kindness, and Connection!

14th Feb 2025

We celebrated Friendship Week in February and the children took part in a range of wonderful activities that focused on kindness, building friendships, and learning important lessons about friendships. The week kicked off with acts of kindness, where the children spread positivity by doing something nice for a friend or classmate. They also took part in lessons on friendship and bullying, which helped them understand the importance of being kind and respectful to one another.

One of the highlights was our Secret Friends activity, where everyone had the chance to anonymously do something special for a classmate. To give the children a well-deserved break, we had Homework off day, which everyone enjoyed, along with a relaxing Pyjama Day. Our week also included some fun drama activities, where the children explored how to communicate, cooperate, and solve problems together.

The week ended with a Breakfast Morning, where everyone gathered to enjoy some delicious food and celebrate with friends. Well done to everyone for making Friendship Week a week full of joy and kindness. 💛🌟
