Kindy Buddies

In Term 1, Kindergarten and Year 6 students engaged in our Homebush West 'Buddies Program'. This program allows our Kindergarten students to build a positive friendship with older peers who are familiar with school routines and school life.  Year 6 students visited their Kindergarten buddy every Friday morning to teach them how to be a Homebush West STAR, and how to conduct themselves safely in the playground and classroom. The buddies read stories, learnt how to use the SeeSaw app, created Fancy Hats and developed their social skills.

On Friday the 12th of April, our buddies ventured on a fun Teddy Bears Picnic at Melville Park. Students brought their favourite teddy bear from home and lots of delicious food and drinks to share. It was a wonderful way to end Term 1.

The Buddies Program was a very valuable learning experience for all and our Year 6 students were fantastic role models to our kindergarten students. Congratulations everyone.
