Bully Free NZ

For the first part of this term we have been looking at Bullying which ties in with Bully Free NZ Week this week. We have discussed what bullying is and how it makes us feel.

We learned that bullying can be hurting someone on the inside as well as on the outside.  To demonstrate this we read a story called Chrysanthemum written by Kevin Henkes.  It is about a mouse called Chrysanthemum who gets teased because of her different name. Every time she got teased we had to crumple up our paper hearts that we had made.  At the end of the story we opened our hearts up and could see the damage it made and how we couldn't make them perfect again.

Before you speak... 

Think and be smart! 

You cannot fix a crumpled heart!
