This week, students in the Year 2 Neighbourhood were introduced to the famous ‘Year 2 Buddy Project’. After great success with the Year Twos from last year and the year before, we’re looking forward to building on this initiative to help strengthen relationships within the neighbourhood, with a focus on wellbeing.
Every two weeks, students will be paired up with someone in the neighbourhood, giving them a chance to get to know more about their peers, and spend time with others outside of their friendship and home groups. A couple of times a week, students will spend some time with their buddies – for example, this week students have spent some time introducing themselves to each other and brainstorming and asking each other questions, and created a Venn Diagram that showed similarities and differences with their buddy.
