We all know how the playground rhyme goes: Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me! Well Ms Siafakas' year 5 class showed us the other side of that saying though, when they explored the topic of exactly how hurtful words can be.
On Friday 9th December, 5S put on a super assembly all about the choices we make and the way we choose to use our words every day. With a series of scenes and some great songs too, the children taught us all just how incorrect the idea of words being harmless is. So they rewrote the verse to be more appropriate and to say: Sticks and stones may break my bones and names can really hurt me! Something for us all to remember!
