SPHE : This week we are going to talk about friendships.

Dear Parents/Guardians,
The aim of this lesson is to provide the children with opportunities to explore what happens
when friends fall out. Friends play a significant role in the lives of children. As children interact with friends and share their experiences, their understanding of the world expands beyond
that based on their own experiences. Through the feedback they receive from others children
learn to see themselves as others do. Providing children with opportunities to help them understand the nature of friendship in their lives helps them to relate better to each other and lays
the foundation for understanding the nature of the peer group as they grow older.
The following are suggested activities which you might like to undertake at home with your
child.
▲ Ask your child to think about a good friend or friends:
When did you first meet? What do you remember about the first time you met
each other?
How did you make friends? Who said hello first? What did you talk about?
What did you do?
What did you like about your friend that first time? Why do you think you
became friends?
What kinds of things do you like doing together?
Can you remember the funniest/the kindest/the most surprising thing your
friend ever did?
Did you ever have any adventures together?
▲ Your child may be willing to talk about an argument s/he had, or is having, with
his/her friend:
Are you having an argument with someone today or have you had one recently?
How did the argument start?
How did you feel when you were arguing?
How do you think your friend is feeling?
Can you think of a way you could be friends again? What would stop you from
making friends?
Why not decide to make friends again very soon? What will you do?
