They have been thinking about their own friendships; who their friends are, why friends are important, how they can be good friends to others and qualities to look for in friends.

During the week, pupils have built up strategies to use to help establish and maintain long-lasting friendships and have investigated the importance of good manners, respect, honesty, forgiveness, care, kindness, having a cheery nature and a good sense of humour.
