Friendship
Today my school assembly was on the theme of friendship. We thought about how how lucky we are to have friends, and how lonely life could be without them.
The children were asked to think about the qualities that make a good friend.
I shared with them the following poem about the perfect friend:
F is for faithful, they’re loyal to the end.
R is for reliable, they’re true and don’t pretend.
I is for the interest in sharing thoughts with you.
E is for enjoyment, whatever you might do.
N is for neighbourly, they’re kind in every way.
D is for dependable on every single day.
S is for that special friend you know is always there
Finally, I posed some questions for the children to think about:
How good are they at being a good friend?
What could they do to be a better friend today?
Could they make a new friend today?
Best wishes
