Product Information

Looking for a book about friendship for KS1/EYFS children? Starry-Eyed Stanis your man! Well, starfish. In this PowerPoint, you and your class can explore what it means to be a good friend - this is a key theme that's explored through the book itself. Friendship groups change and morph and along the way some children get left out or feel rejected and isolated. And it isn't just a feature of primary school; the move to secondary school is fraught with friendship issues as children break free from old friendships to make a new social group. The mix and number of new children to meet and form friendships with in those transition years is often overwhelming but it is very normal and is happening all across the country right now. As the name implies, friendship sheets are nearly the same as friendship books, but they are made on a single sheet of paper or stationery.

From their early days in nursery, through play, children are learning essential social skills and learning about themselves too. Experimenting with friendships is a very normal phase and to be encouraged, and as social skills are refined and they mature, children change their minds about who they want to be friends with and the qualities and commonalities they are seeking in a friend. Now, with the help of Starry-Eyed Stan (a great book about friendship for KS1) and all of these resources, you can help your class or your child understand what it means to be a good friend and why it's so important. Why is friendship important? Starry-Eyed Stan Role-Play Masks- Recreate this wonderful story about friendship with these role-play masks.
