Year 4 Friendology

Friendships are a complex issue for young children to navigate and learning to overcome, respond and take responsibility in friendship issues is something children need to continually develop and practice. This term Year 4 has been implementing the URStrong Program ‘Friendology’ in their PDH lessons. This program is designed to enhance the social-emotional wellbeing of students through friendship skills.  It aims to support students to maintain healthy relationships, manage conflict with kindness and increase their overall resilience.

Over the past two weeks, students in Year 4 have been exploring and discussing the characteristics of a good friend. In small groups, the students brainstormed a range of qualities that enhance positive relationships. Following this, students role played these characteristics and discussed how these friendships were supported in everyday life situations.
