01.01.2022 We are Good Friends! This week our Pre- Kinder’s continued their friendship topic. Miss Selina discussed in group time about how to be a good friend? and how to be kind?. The Pre- Kinder’s learned that sharing, caring, smiling, taking turns, helping each other, using manners and listening to others make us a kind person. After listening to a story about sharing, they finished with a cuddle with each other to celebrate their friendship, how sweet! Then we used watercolour paint to make a friendship banner together. We paint our own little person. Our children had lots of fun to mix all the colours. We are going to connect everyone’s hands after we all finished, and we are going to paste it on the wall. It would also promote a sense of community to the children.
