Friendship Week 2016

---

The week beginning the 26th of September 2016 was a special

week in Bishop O’Brien National school, when we celebrated

Friendship Week focusing on positive relationships, being kind

and caring, looking out for each other and ensuring everyone is

included.

​Our week began with the launch of our Buddy Bench, which was

kindly presented to the school by the Sixth Class of 2015-2016.

Throughout the week a variety of activities took place in all

classrooms including circle time, art activities, paired reading

between senior and junior classes, creating recipes for

friendship, writing friendship poems etc.
​
We also ran an art/slogan competition for the whole school. All

the children in the school put great effort into their posters and

these will be displayed around the school in the coming weeks.

Below is a picture of the children who came first in their class

groups along with the posters they created.

Our week finished up on Friday with a friendship themed movie

afternoon.

Overall, it was a fantastic week and the message of friendship

was embraced by all. We hope the spirit of friendship nurtured

during the week will continue and grow throughout the coming

year both at home and at school.
