Module 2: FRIENDS

Page 3

seven: what holds the bricks together? Cement - what is the cement of a good friendship? It may have several ingredients. What holds these dry ingredients together? Water (communication - interaction if these have not already been mentioned.)

eight: draw the roof. A roof is needed on a house to protect it from the damage of rain, snow, storms and even too hot sun can cause. What are some of the things which can cause damage to friendships? Draw arrows like rain coming onto the roof and name each one as the class make their suggestions. Encourage them to write these onto their drawing.

nine: What can now be placed into the roof as protection/insulation? Write these in the space between the house floors and the roof.

ten: every house has doors and windows. What are they for?
Ask each person to consider whether theirs are going to be open or closed? Why?
Ask them to write over the page why they want to keep them closed or open or even sometimes one and sometimes the other with an explanation.

They could also write now what they have learnt about friendship from this activity and what they want to change in their own relationships. A small group discussion may be helpful after this so that they can learn from each other’s experience and decisions.

We suggest that the Class House of Friendship is, (if necessary copied and) put up on the classroom wall as a permanent reminder of their agreed values.
