Considering I did a Diploma in Children's Services, I'd say this is right up my alley! =)

I would do a little role playing game. I would get one child to be a bully and the other to be the victim. I would ask the others, why it was wrong? What should we do? I'll get anti-bullying books and read them each week to drill it into their heads. We can make up a song about being nice to others.
We have multicultural dolls for the children and we talk about how everyone is the same despite coloured and other differences. We also celebrate different cultures and get parents to come in and talk about their cultures. To ethnic children, we can all learn little words or phrases in that language. The children once learned signed language for a deaf child, so with repetition it should be fine. =)

Wooooo! I'm so happy!
I literally cried when I found out, because the courses are so popular over here, I was afraid I wouldn't get (seeing as I was rejected twice by other Universities).

I'm seriously excited for this year. Thanks Sonnet!!! Woo! =)

Ive been discrimated at a school
I went ti a boarding school
A lot of the people there talked
Down t post me as if I wasn't
A person and that my classmates
And I were treated like we were
5. And a lot of us rebelled
Me I was very close to.


And this school is still
Running
I say close it down
