Last week, our wellbeing workshop was all about friendship. We had a discussion about what characteristics make a good friend.
These are some ideas that we came up with:
- Help you when you are hurt or feeling sad
- Are nice to you – say kind words
- Include you
- Make you feel happy
- Have fun with you
- Share their toys with you
- Look after you
We watched the Kimochi’s animated song – ‘So much love’ which features Huggtopus.
Huggtopus is a very excitable character, who has a lot of love to give. She is learning that there is a time to be silly and a time to be serious. At the beginning of this video, Huggtopus isn’t aware that her friends are not having a good time. She means well and is not trying to be unkind, but just doesn’t realise that what she is doing is making her friends uncomfortable. We had a discussion about how it is important look after our friends and make sure everyone is having a good time.
Here are some songs about friendship that we listened to while they completed their writing task.
