Amigos
Amigos is our friendship/ buddy system between our new Year 3 pupils and our Year 5 pupils.
There are many benefits to this including:
Gives all Y5 pupils an opportunity to be a leader in school with an area of responsibility - and all of the self-esteem benefit that naturally accompanies this
Gives all Y3 someone to aspire to, to learn from, a sense of security and a special bond with an older pupil
Helps with transition to St Peter's for Y3's
Helps pupils to know one another across year groups
Create purposeful opportunities to share learning, achievements and praise
Bonds are established/relationships naturally continue in to Y4 & Y6
