In P2, we have been learning all about how to be kind to our friends and how our words have a big impact upon our feelings. We used the toothpaste experiment to demonstrate how when we say unkind words we can’t take them back!
First we had a circle time about the importance of kind words and how you can say something, but once it’s heard the effects have already started to take place. We talked about what nice words look like and how they make us feel. Then we talked about how unkind words might make us feel. We started to squeeze the toothpaste out of the tube. But then we came across a problem! We couldn’t find a way to get the toothpaste back into the tube!
After our experiment we talked about how our words are the same as the toothpaste. Once your words come out of our mouth, you cannot stop what has been heard, and it can be really hurtful.
We then had a challenge to say something kind to a friend ♥️
