«This week, our Grade 2 students have been busy exploring the importance of friendship. Through stories, reflections, and fun activities, the children have been practicing how to be caring, respectful, and supportive with one another. We began with the book “Make a Friend, Be a Friend”, which inspired us to talk about what it means to be a good friend in our daily lives.
To put these ideas into practice, students participated in games and collaborative projects that encouraged teamwork, listening, and kindness. From circle-time discussions to art activities where they named “friendship attitudes,” the children had the chance to share personal experiences and reflect on how friends make our school a happier place. These activities help set a strong foundation for the attitudes and actions we want to guide our year together.
We are so proud of how the students are connecting with one another and showing enthusiasm for building a supportive community. Friendship is not only about having fun, but also about learning how to respect differences, solve problems peacefully, and celebrate each other’s successes. We look forward to continuing this journey as the year unfolds.
