Type of friends was the focus this week in Peer Support. The students explored what encourages them to form friendships with different people (common interests, admirable qualities, etc). Through various activities the students identified that their friends can fall in to the categories of ‘best friends’, ‘friends’ and ‘people we know’. The children also discussed the fact that friendships can change over time for various reasons.

We encourage you to discuss with your child the different friends they have in their lives and how friendships may change. Some friends may be more important at different times in their lives.
