Friendship!

Our Christian value at the moment is friendship. We have been discussing what makes a great friend and have been showing lots of kindness towards our friends. These pictures are from our class collective worship where we had to roll the wool towards a friend, saying something kind about them until everyone had spoken and we were joined by a friendship web! It was a really lovely activity, well done Brain Boxes!
