Last week in caring crew, Crew McLoughlin explored the important topic of healthy and unhealthy friendships through an interactive activity. Around the classroom, they were presented with a variety of real-life scenarios. They worked collaboratively in pairs and they discussed whether each situation reflected a positive (healthy) or negative (unhealthy) friendship. They were encouraged to think critically, share their opinions, and listen to others’ perspectives before recording their decisions. After reviewing all eight scenarios, we came together as a class to discuss their ideas, giving everyone the opportunity to explain their reasoning and reflect on what makes a friendship supportive, respectful, and kind. This activity helped develop not only their understanding of relationships but also their communication and teamwork skills.
