Primary 7 have focussed on understanding the different ways unkind behaviour can be presented.
The mains things we discussed were:
- How unkind words and actions impact people
- How to help someone who is experiencing bullying or unkind behaviour
- That unkind words and actions are not always direct to the person
- How to notice if your behaviour is unkind and how to make up for your mistakes and make amends
We watched this award winning video – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJsGGsPNakw
We decided to do an experiment on how unkind words and actions can harm any living thing. Instead of saying unkind things to plant 2, we put hand sanitiser in the water.
We ensured we had all the correct details in order to carry out a valid experiment, this included:
- Diagrams
- Controls
- Variables
- Predictions
- Results
The results were similar to our predictions, that plant 2 would die.
We decided to see if we could reverse the negative actions by putting Plant 2 in with Plant 1 so it had plenty of water and food.
See below for our experiment notes.
This experiment helped us visualise what unkind words and actions can do to a living thing. We discussed the impact this has on others and how to help someone you think is struggling.
