Being a Good Friend

Today we talked about the qualities of a good friend. I wanted the children to think about being the good friend to others that they wanted for themselves. Not because it was needed, just that it was relevant. I was astounded by the list they made. Although I have put some of their ideas into keywords, it is all their own thinking. See for yourself! What great children we have in Room 16.

The qualities of a good friend are;

Trustworthy
Caring
Loyal
Responsible
Kind
Helpful
Respectful
Well-mannered
Collaborative
Good communicator
Good sense of humour
Good listener
Fair
Understanding
Believe in you
Inclusive
Accepting of others (not exclusionary)
Attentive

Planting Project with Hamilton City Council

On Wednesday, we went across to Ashurst Park to plant some more native trees and bushes, guided by Amy @ HCC. It was a 'get your hands dirty' experience.
