Bee Performance

We were very lucky yesterday to have 2 very talented actresses come to do a performance about Bee's and how we can help them survive.

Rm23: Write a comment about what you learnt from the show.

Friendship P4C

For Philosophy for Children we discussed friendships.

We talked about whether it is okay to have a best friend? Is it okay to ever break a friendship? What makes a good friend? 

We also set the scenario: 'If there was a friendship bracelet you could give your best friend that meant you were best friends forever, no matter what, you could never take off the bracelet or break the friendship' - Would it be a good idea? Would you give one to somebody? Would you accept one from somebody?

Rm23: In the comment section - write a comment about your thoughts during this session (it's like our final thoughts round).

We wish them luck for their travelling performances. 

Awesome work Mr Greenfield on organising and directing such a talented team.
