This week I went up to visit the Lower 1st classes during their buddy time . This is often a highlight each week for both the 6th class and Lower 1st children. Several of the older children commented on how much they enjoy working with the younger children and said how much it reminded them of their own experience in Lower 1st. The system of buddies provides an opportunity for the older children to practise the School Value of Service and to really set an example for the younger children in the most natural of ways. Every year we see that this activity brings out the very best in both age groups.
