Evaluation Comments from Teachers
‘Looking at qualities that are important for friendship not just being nice, i.e. listening, responding and showing respect – also the importance of hygiene as they approach puberty.’
‘It developed the children’s thinking skills in terms of reflecting on their actions, so very useful.’
