The KEY to being a GOOD FRIEND

Take Flight regularly talks about being a good friend to others. We have regular discussions, do role plays and activities which reinforce the importance of treating others with kindness and respect so that everyone can feel safe and happy at school. On Friday afternoon we worked with a partner to create what we thought was they "key" to a good friendship.

First you buy some bubble gum.
Then you put it in your mouth and chew until it is soft.
When it is soft you push it over your tongue.
Blow and blow and blow until it pops!
