Friendology

Year 1 has been enjoying exploring the ‘Friendology’ program at school and at home through homework tasks. They have all had so much fun implementing the ‘Friendology’ strategies, especially the recently explored ‘Friendship Fires’. As part of this, the students created little fires as a symbol to sit around and discuss ways they can put out their friendship fires by using the strategies outlined in the program. The students have been putting these steps into action, both in the classroom and out on the playground.

In this ‘Friendolgy’ session, the students explored the step-by-step strategies of how to resolve conflict with a friend, how to respond to hurt feelings and misunderstandings. These steps from the ‘friendology program’ are all about how students ‘Talk-it-out until the fire is out!’
