Buddies

 THE BUDDY PROGRAM

Each week for one period, the year 6 students get together with the prep/1 students to do an activity together. So far this year we have made “Getting to Know you” posters, learnt songs and shared our favourite books and stories. The year 6 students had to design a book response for the book and these were created as a joint project.

 Last week, the prep/1’s were invited to bring along their favourite teddy or toy and the year 6 students interviewed the special guests. The results of these interviews were made into a powerpoint presentation, and the answers were recorded onto each slide. The prep/1 students had to answer as the teddy and the results were gorgeous.

INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

The year 6 students brainstormed some questions for the teddies, prior to the interviews. I encouraged the students to ask the questions as though the teddies had real identities. These are the questions the students came up with:

• What is his/her name?
• How old is he/she?
• What is his/her favourite food?
• What is his/her favourite thing to do while you are at school?
• Does he/she like tea parties?
• Has he/she ever been in hospital?
• What is the naughtiest thing he/she has ever done?
• What was his/her favourite holiday destination?
• What does he/she want to be when they grow up?

I intend to post the results of these gorgeous interviews as soon as somebody clever shows me how to post a powerpoint link or the voice recordings. Stay tuned.
