Friendship Week 2014

This week was Friendship Week in Lisnagry NS. Each student took part in a range of activities designed to promote friendship and respect towards others. These were some of the activities they did on the theme of friendship:

Each child had a ‘secret friend’ for the week. They tried to be really nice and kind to their friends.

The pupils  did many Art activities – posters, pictures, Qualities of a good friend…

In English, we read stories and poems about Friendship.The story of the “Rainbow Fish” was very popular. We even wrote our own Acrostic poems! The children made up some great slogans to raise the awareness of the importance of being a good friend. In SPHE and PE we did many co-operative games using the parachute, balls and hulahoops. We learned to help each other and work together.

On Wednesday we did some “buddy reading” where the older pupils read to the younger pupils.They really enjoyed this.

Friendship Week concluded with a whole school assembly on Friday morning where the winners of the friendship posters and slogans were announced.

Well done to all the pupils and staff who embraced  friendship week with great enthusiasm. We all  really enjoyed Friendship week but it’s not over, as we hope to continue it for the year!

Here are some photos taken during the week.
