Owler Brook Primary School took part in Friendship Week in April.Friendship Week is a week where you respect your friends and make new ones by giving them friendship bracelets and buns, showing all your respect to them.

Other schools observe only anti-bullying week, but at Owler Brook we observe both.

On 7th April Owler Brook had an assembly about Friendship Week. The children were told that the next day was a special day because it was Appreciation Day.

Appreciation Day is a day where you buy something for your friends that they will appreciate. And this is exactly what Owler Brook Primary School have done.

In the yard we asked a few children how they felt about the week. One said,

“I feel so excited because all my friends respect me so much.”

In school we have Peer Mediators, who are well trained people who sort out problems without the help of teachers. The Peer Mediators have been working extremely hard, but Friendship Week has been like their week off because not one child had an argument.

Owler Brook raised £27.61 just by selling buns. This money will be used to buy new equipment and make the atmosphere
