Final Farewell To Our Brentwood Buddies

Our Brentwood Buddies are amazing! They are a talented group of Grade 10 students who took on the challenge of writing a children’s book this semester. Our Kindergarten students were part of their research about what children this age are interested in, but it is so much more for both groups. Our students get to feel loved and valued by a caring older student, while our buddies have the opportunity to relax and enjoy being a kid again. For some students who are away from their family, this is important to be connected to another person away from their school setting. The books that the Brentwood Buddies produces are well-thought out, creative and interesting to read. Our students will appreciate these keepsakes for many years.

Brentwood Buddy Play

Students, both big and little, enjoyed playing. It is nice seeing the two groups of students engaging with one another by sharing ideas, reading, building and creating art in many forms.

Brentwood Buddies Comparison

Students compared a variety of things while learning about their big buddies favourites.

Our Brentwood Buddies

Students met their Brentwood Buddy today. They shared the gym by taking the big kids to the different stations. It is safe to say that we have successful matches as each of the groups enjoyed playing in the gym together.

Bye Bye Buddies

Students said farewell to their Brentwood Buddies after participating in a scavenger hunt, eating treats and sharing their books with each other. As part of the Gr. 10’s Children’s Literature Class, they created a personalized story book that each Kindergarten student gets to keep. Each story was unique to each child. In return, our class created a book of all their favourite things about their big buddy. This is an enriching experience for both of our groups of young people.
