Pink Shirt Day

Luke and Campbell from Habitat 17 organised Bayview's Pink Shirt Day. What is Pink Shirt Day?

Pink Shirt Day is about standing together to take action against bullying. In class, we explored "How does a good friend act?", "What is bullying?", and "What should a person do if they think he or she is being bullied?". 

Here is example of how a kid dealt with bullying. He re-wrote the song "Hope".

He used his experience to re-write the song. He is an authentic writer. We are learning how to be an authentic writer. We will use our own words to write our ideas down. We will add rich vocabulary. We will check for punctuation and spelling.

Check out our Seesaw blog for the video clip from the Pink Day Shirt Assembly.
