Theatre Group amazes 6 year oldsWhite Ribbon Staff were very pleased to witness the effective work of WildThings Workshop wiht three separate groups last week- two different age junior school classes and a secondary age youth club drama group.
30 members of a junior class of 6 year olds were riveted with a puppet show, a puppet workshop involving the children acting out scenarios with the provided puppets and a discussion of bullying, with a"Handprints against Hurting"event to end the 75 minute event. If this work was ongoing in every school there would be a lot more messages about healthy relationships out there.
