In this lesson, children will learn that an important part of making friends, being a friend and keeping friends is being kind and showing empathy.

The children will explore the positive impact of friendship. We also want children to be able to manage the ups and downs of friendships and will explore this through discussion and role play activities.

The children will be thinking about who they go to if they have a question or a worry. You might know the book The Huge Bag of Worries by Virginia Ironside, we will use the book to help with our learning. In the book the character learns that it is a good idea to share a worry with an adult that you trust.
