Friends for Life

Over the past few months all classes have been working on the "Friends For Life " programme with visiting teacher Sarah Billington.

The children have been learning how to understand feelings in themselves and others as well as examining body clues and relaxation techniques. They have been encouraged to pay careful attention to helpful and unhelpful self talk and have explored strategies for changing unhelpful thoughts into helpful thoughts. They worked individually and in groups to develop plans and strategies for dealing with difficult situtations in their lives. Sarah thoroughly enjoyed working with all of the children and was really impressed with how kind and caring they were of one another.
