Today, Primary 5 had a fun PATHS lesson. During our lesson, the children were asked to empty out the toothpaste tub onto a paper plate - they had to empty out every single last drop. Then, they were asked to put all the toothpaste back into the tub using ONLY their lollipop stick. The children were asked if they thought this was a hard or easy thing to do - they all answered 'hard or impossible'. Once they realized it was hard - I then stopped the lesson and explained to them that the words on paper plate were the unkind words that you say to people, and that trying to take back what you say is like trying to put the toothpaste back into the toothpaste tub.
