Our 6th class boys and girls have an extra special job each year, and that is to be a big buddy for a child in Junior Infants. The job of the big buddy is to help the infants settle into the school and show them the ropes! Today our buddies met for the first time and got to play in the playground. The little buddies were made up with their new friends in 6th class and the big buddies made such a fuss of them. The teachers were all so impressed with how kind, considerate and patient the older children were with the younger ones and we were so proud of each of them. We look forward to lots of other opportunities our buddies will have to spend time together this year.
