Getting On And Falling Out...

Today at Greenfields it is Darwin day. And in Maple class we learned about 'Getting on and Falling out'.

First we talked about the qualities of a good friend, these are a few of our ideas:

Funny, adventurous, hard to fall out with, understanding, etc..etc..

Secondly we made our own friendship coins. We decorated them and wrote some of the qualities of a good friend on them and if we wanted made our own motto for the coin. Once they are all finished we are going to put them on our school Christmas tree.

Thirdly, we learned how to resolve conflict, we also found out about a thing called 'I-messages'. It's used  instead of arguing and shouting at each other, it's an easier way to say how you feel about something.

'I messaging' layout:

I feel... (the feeling you get)

When you... (the action the other person is doing that is causing the feeling)

Because... (the effect on you, or on the other people/person)

Thank-you for reading... Maybe next time your upset/angry you could use 'I message'! :-)

Digital leaders teach the class!

Today Poppy, Isaac, Molly, Grace, Sam and Emily (the digital leaders in Maple) taught Maple class how to customise their Google map account.

We first showed the class how to log into their accounts and find Shrewsbury on the map.

Then we showed them how to add a marker, change the style of it and add a picture.

 After that, we showed the class how to highlight areas, such as: Fields, parks and playgrounds etc...

Later, we taught them how to create a route from one place to another and customise it.

We had great fun teaching everyone (including Mrs Prior)!
