Friendology 101

This term at Brooklyn Park, the Year 1 and 2 classes have begun a program called Friendology 101. Created by an organisation called URStrong, it aims to provide students will a variety of friendship skills which allow them to develop the friendships they already have, as well as to build new ones.

Over the past few weeks, students have considered how they like to be treated as friends, how to make a friend and how to invite another student to play.

We have learned the ‘4 Friendship Facts’:

• No friendship is perfect
• Every friendship is different
• Trust and Respect are the two most important qualities of a friendship
• Friendships change and that’s okay!

This week students made their own potato people. They recognised that just like all the different potatoes, we are all different ourselves. This should be celebrated and is one of the reasons that every friendship is different, and that is something to celebrate!
