Friendship learning story example

Friendship moments reveal empathy, turn‑taking, and problem‑solving. Keep the narrative short and evidence‑based.

Friendship learning story example

Sam and Mia built a block tower together, taking turns to add pieces. When Mia knocked part of it down, she teared up. Sam said, “It’s okay. We can fix it,” and offered a block. They rebuilt, discussed balance (“heavy ones at the bottom”), and finished smiling at their taller structure.

Learning analysis (EYLF v2.0 / Te Whāriki)

  • EYLF Outcome 1: recognising and managing emotions; showing empathy and care.
  • EYLF Outcome 2: cooperating, taking turns, and resolving small conflicts.
  • EYLF Outcome 4: planning and testing ideas about stability and balance.
  • Te Whāriki – Wellbeing (Mana Atua) and Contribution (Mana Tangata): emotional security and positive peer interactions.

Next steps and extensions

  • Introduce simple social scripts/visuals for “oops → fix” moments.
  • Offer a “kindness/comment card” routine to notice helping behaviours.
  • Provide block challenges (bridge, arch) to collaborate and negotiate.

Quick summary and tips

  • Note the empathy phrase and the joint plan to rebuild.
  • Link behaviours to outcomes in one line each.
