Cool Schools

Christina from Cool Schools came to our school to empower our children with strategies when dealing with conflict.  
We participated in discussions, role playing and problem solving.





 The children watched a DVD on how peer mediation can work effectively.

 This was a game we played to show us that if we 
co-operate, communicate and compromise everyone can come out a winner.








From our lesson with Christina we will be practicing and working through ways of dealing with conflict and then using these skills when doing our jobs as peer mediators.
