First we talked about the qualities of a good friend, these are a few of our ideas:
Funny, adventurous, hard to fall out with, understanding, etc..etc..
Secondly we made our own friendship coins. We decorated them and wrote some of the qualities of a good friend on them and if we wanted made our own motto for the coin. Once they are all finished we are going to put them on our school Christmas tree.
Thirdly, we learned how to resolve conflict, we also found out about a thing called 'I-messages'. It's used instead of arguing and shouting at each other, it's an easier way to say how you feel about something.
'I messaging' layout:
I feel... (the feeling you get)
When you... (the action the other person is doing that is causing the feeling)
Because... (the effect on you, or on the other people/person)
Thank-you for reading... Maybe next time your upset/angry you could use 'I message'! :-)

What a fantastic morning we had. It really made us re-evaluate the things we say to each other and the way we say them. Using Imessages felt a little odd at first but we realised that it certainly helped to avoid conflict. Fortunately we do get on really well in Maple Class but we have learned some good techniques for the future.
