International Day Of Friendship

International Day of Friendship is a day to appreciate and promote friendship. It was celebrated across the world on Friday, 30 July.

International Day of Friendship promotes the idea that building friendships between people, countries and cultures can inspire peace and build bridges between those communities.

Friendship requires empathy, compassion and concern for other people. By valuing these friendships we adopt a more selfless and grateful outlook on life.

In the Pre-Reception we spoke about what we think makes a good friend, we decided that good friends…

• Help each other
• Play together
• Give friends love
• Share
• Are nice to each other
• Says kind words
• Draws pictures for one another and makes things as gifts to give each other

The students then drew and decorated a picture and gave it to an existing or new friend, they had lots of fun doing this! All in all it was a wonderful day, especially because we got to come to school in pyjamas for civvies day too.

This day can help build a more kind, caring and peaceful world!
