We made our own cars to drive around the road map Adding features to our map. Playing a Stop and Go traffic light game.
It was lovely for us all this week to focus on ourselves, our friendships and being kind to each other.
We were able to think about what makes a good friend. It was also a good opportunity to discuss feelings, understanding both our own feelings and those of the people around us. What makes us happy? How can we make our friends happy? What can we do if someone is feeling sad, cross or all mixed up?
Making friendship cards for each other. Circle time is always a good chance to take turns, encourage each other and work together. Just look at what we can create when we work together… Thinking about what we love about each other as we made each other Rainbow hearts. We have been thinking about what makes a good friend, so we tried making our own. Choosing from a variety of resources to create our friends. Choosing, exploring and mixing together freely.
