Creativity Unleashed: White Ribbon Window Display.

We've been discussing violence and how it's not ok! Violence isn't just physical, words can cause wounds too. We choose to talk each other up in Room 7. No put downs allowed!

The class have been super creative getting the white ribbon message out!

People can change. Ms Tereu shared about her Papa. He would be violent towards her Mama when he was drunk. (This was way before Ms Tereu was born) So...he stopped drinking to change his violent behaviour. Ms Tereu always talks about how proud she is that her Papa was man enough to change.

He's the best man she's ever known! (Even better than SBW lol)

Here's some pics taken by the talented Ezekiel Paiti.

The finished product.  Room 7 produced this masterpiece on both sides of our classroom.  SO...no one would miss our important message.  Family Violence is Not OK!
