Friendship Week

Friendship week always takes place in September and we like to focus on a positive statement of "Friendship" rather than "Anti-bullying". All classes engaged in lessons that encouraged the children to promote tolerance, friendship and forgiveness. Dr. Maureen Griffin, a Forensic Psychologist came to our school and talked to the third to sixth class children. She spoke about issues around social media, the internet and mobile phone safety and we wrote about this on our blog pages. Friendship week has proved very beneficial in previous years, in particular at this stage of the year.
