The pupils cut out two identical hearts, one heart we stuck on our Heart Posters and the other heart we crumpled up tightly and then re-opened and tried to flatten it out to its original state. Of course it won’t be perfect. This exercise shows that once we give our heart to family and friends, that we can recover from harsh words and actions, but we will never be totally the same again, our beliefs, our trust our love will have little dents in it.

This exercise is to encourage pupils to think before saying and doing things that can have an effect on others.
