Year 5 Explores the Secret to Great Friendships
This week in PSHE, Year 5 have been thinking carefully about what it truly means to be a good friend. We began by identifying the small but significant gestures of friendship that make our school community a kinder place, from offering a word of encouragement to simply sharing a seat at lunch.

The lesson took a dramatic turn as the children were given secret roleplay scenarios to perform. Some groups acted out heartwarming acts of kindness, while others depicted trickier situations where friendship was put to the test!

Our PSHE Highlights:
Spotting the Signs: Discussing how our actions and words impact those around us.

The Big Reveal: The rest of the class had to play detective, guessing the scenario being acted out. Some were quite a challenge to figure out!

Building Empathy: Reflecting on how it feels to be on the receiving end of different friendship behaviours.

It was a fantastic session full of laughter and insightful discussion. Have a look at our photos to see our budding actors in action!  How can you show friendship to the people around you?
