Values Education at Red Oaks

I feel sorry for the red one.
I feel the red one is the odd one out.
It makes me feel happy and sad at the same time.
I feel stuck in the middle.
Curious; why is the red one sad?
It makes me feel emotional.
It makes me feel lonely.
It makes me feel different.
It's heartbreaking.
The red one is embarrassed which is why he has a red face.
The red one is lonely because he is not with his colour.
Why is one of them left out?
Are the yellow ones teasing the red one?
Maybe the red one has moved to a new school and doesn't understand the school rules.
The red one could be lost.
The red one is lonely and sad.
We could play with him.
We could make him happy.
One person is left out.
Are they bullying the sad one?
The red one is the odd one out.
I feel devastated and confused.
I have mixed emotions.
I am confused.
Are the yellows trying to understand the red?
All the yellow faces are friendly.
Red is sad: is it because he is different?
Maybe the red one is an individual.
It reminds me of the Childline advert.
99% of the time you are happy.
Why don't we paint him yellow?
Red is feeling angry and selfish.
The yellow ones are friends.
Maybe he can't make a happy face.
He is not connected to them.
I'm desperate to know what's wrong.
Try to understand how he is feeling and make him happier.
Get the yellow ones to understand how red is feeling and help red to become happy.
It could cheer him up.
It could make the red one smile.
By being understanding, we can try to make him happy.
We could move the red ball to the centre of the community.
