PSHE: Friendship...

PSHE

Today we are thinking about our friends and how we can show our appreciation for our friends even when we can't meet up at the moment.  We will start our session by doing our Calm-ME-Time, so sit on a chair and ask a grown up to do this with you if you can.

 

 

Calm-ME-Time

Can you work out how many days it has been since lockdown was announced on March 23rd.   

Does this feel like a long time?

Everyone has been doing a really good job of keeping each other safe from the virus, but it has been hard for us not to see our friends. Friends are very important for all of us and having happy friendships helps our mental health too.

Why does friendship help us feel mentally OK?

 

Today you are going to be remembering what makes a good friend and thinking about how we can carry on being good friends to each other while we are still social distancing and not able to see each other at school. 

Why are friends important to you? What are your favourite things to do with your friends?

Tell me...

 

  • Make a list of what makes a good friend.
  • You could write a letter to one of your friends explaining what they have been up to during lockdown. 
  • You can keep your letter to give to your friend after lockdown or email to our class page and I will share it on our class page.
