Friendship Week

Friendship Week 2023

We had another very successful friendship week this year. Each class completed a range of activities including games, artwork and baking to make this special week. Our wellbeing committee lead our first assessmbly and we discussed the importance of being kid to each other and including everyone in our games.

Our new buddies made friendship bracelets with Sth class helping our in Junior Infants and 5th class helping our in Senior infants. Seniors also read to their buddies and were keen to show off their fantastic reading skills.

We concluded friendship week with an amazing bake sale. A huge thank you to Ms Colleran and 6th class for organising this fantastic event. It was a huge success with money raised going to fund new STEM (Science, Engineering, Technology and Maths) kits for our school.

Please watch the video to get an idea of all the amazing work which took place in our school during the week.

Friendship week is an important part of our school calendar.  Every year in September we celebrate Friendship week where we celebrate our Friends.   During this week every class engages in a range of lessons and activities based on the theme of Friendship.  

Friendship week 2022

This year we kick started our Friendship week with a cake sale which was hosted by our 6th class pupils.  All classes were also challenged to carry out a Random Act of Kindness for either a parent, teacher or another pupil in the school during the week.  Our pupils engaged in numerous activities throughout the week including discussions about friendship, how to be a good friend, characteristics of a good friend.  

Some other activities included friendship art, making friendship bracelets, playing co-operative games.  One of our classes even had a friendship party! 

It was a very successful week which was thoroughly enjoyed by all.  We are already looking forward to next year!

The following video will give you a snapshot of some of the activities we took part in for Friendship Week.
