We've had a fabulous Friendship Week in Junior Infants.
We started every morning playing games. We're experts at taking turns and we understand that winning is not always important, it's more important to have fun with our friends. We loved playing Charades, Alias, Googly Eyes, Frustration, Snakes and Ladders and Twister.
We really enjoyed doing the kindness challenges Ms. O'Connor gave our class.
We read lots of stories about being good friends, we especially enjoyed Elmer and The Rainbow Fish. We also worked with our friends to complete art activities based on the stories.
We learned a song (click here for video).
We made a poster so everyone knows how to be a good friend.
We did a Compliment Circle where we passed compliments around the circle to show our friends how much we care about them and make them smile.
We played lots of cooperative games in PE and even did some paired yoga activities.
This week we also did some lovely drama games based on our story of the week- Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
Finally on Friday we ended the week with a class breakfast. We had such fun enjoying breakfast with our friends.
