Today we are showing awareness of ‘anti bullying’ by wearing odd socks. We have also done the paper experiment where we said unkind things to a piece of paper. Every time a mean word was said I scrumpled the paper until it was finally in a ball.
We then apologised to the paper for our unkind words and with each ‘I’m sorry’ the paper was unfolded but the creases still remained. The paper was never the same as it was before.
This showed the children that we must always choose our words carefully and be kind. We can say sorry for our actions but they are not always forgotten and leave a lasting trace.
