Non Violent Protests




Watch this space for some footage of 5B hard at work protesting in non-violent ways around the school!

In Social Studies, we have been studying Martin Luther King Jr. and the Power of Non-Violence and so we transported ourselves back to MLKJ's time and organised a friendly protest march. Students made signs that said things like "End Segregation" or "Equal Rights For All" and then they found famous quotes from history to write on the backs of the signs to make an impact.

The students marched for only 10 minutes in the heat of the day, and although they were a little embarrassed at first, they realised just how important it had been for followers of MLKJ to protest in this way. And how successful they had been.

The world would be a very different place for most of us if it were not for great heroes like him.
