Design a 'Friendship Stop'

(1)
My Reception children designed a sign to go in the yard. Our topic was about friendship. The children wanted to make a ‘Friendship Stop’ for those children who didn’t have anyone to play with at playtime. If they stood near the sign, other children would notice that they didn’t have anyone to play with, and would invite them to join in with their game. I took their designs to a company that made the sign for us.
